PLAYOFFS

To be perfectly honest this season has had me so discombobulated that I had to ask someone if it was actually over today. I have spent most of the season without any idea of how the Cardinals were doing in the standings, largely in part of the team’s two-weeks of postponed game, which, actually, was kind of nice for a change. Instead of exerting mental and emotional bandwidth clinging to the hope the Cardinals will make the postseason, I just kind of... found out they made it on Monday morning. Oh cool. It was a nice thing to wake up to. I do not plan on being this apathetic in the future, but for this season, it was a bit relaxing to not pin so many emotions to the outcome of baseball games.

That being said, it is serious business now that it is the postseason. Time to figure out who Brad Miller is and where he came from. If you are like me and have not really been following along with the goings of the league, here are the playoff matchups:
