I experienced in an inordinate degree of joy at the suffering of the Cleveland fans when they shuffled out of that stadium.
People who want me to be sad don’t make me happy. And I’m apparently unwilling to expand my bubble of joy to include their joy.
I’ve noticed that national broadcasts tend to make the strike zone look almost imperceptible probably to keep people from complaining about how bad the umpires are, but when you’re on mlb.tv, they make it obvious.
I just now turned on the game. They didn’t have some sentimental walkdown memory lane about all the players they refused to pay who left the team for greener pastures did they?
I tried to watch that game, but a game that doesn’t directly include my team or impact it in some easily discernible manner just can’t hold my interest.
