I always tend to drink a lot of beer during the post season.
This year, I watched the Rangers not lose a single game on the road, establishing a new record in doing so.
I watched the yankees doing commercials for Geico.
I got to see wonderful baseball. Defense galore. Players who could hit. Players who could pitch.
On the Yankee side, we saw the most exciting pitcher of our year ( Perfect game and all ) check into an AA clinic , and get dumped by the disapproving Yankee executives.
We saw Dusty Baker retire as the World Series drew to an end.
We saw the Yankees manager and GM complimented for their work.
I can't drink to that.

I'm with you 'Phonso.
The Manfred games will only get worse.
"Not just another mouth
Lost in the lipstick vogue..."
Well, actually, it IS another mouth lost in the lipstick vogue. Sigh.
I find that continual drinking, whether watching the postseason, the news, or reruns of Dobie Gillis, has a soothing effect when contemplating the Yankees' coming decade of death.
No sir, no can do, can't drink to that.
Both teams in the World Series did all the things that the Yankees cannot do. They fouled off tough pitches. They pitched inside. They moved the ball around the strike zone. They protected the outside corner with two strikes. They hit the ball the other way. They hit the ball through holes. Arizona bunted successfully every time they tried. Both teams hit the ball the other way and took what the pitcher was giving them.
The obviously had good coaching and managing. The better team won. Not by coincidence, the team that won had the better coaching and managing. Not by coincidence, the team that won had half our pitching staff. Not by coincidence, the team that won had good left handed hitting and great defense. Not by coincidence, the team that searched for the most ineffective reliever in too many games LOST the series.
I didn't see any musical outfield or musical infield. Neither manager had his entire defense revolving around positions every inning.
Decade of death and decomposition.
