I’ve liked baseball as much as any sport since I was a little kid, but tonight’s end to the World Series makes me sad. Two years in a row it’s been a sweep, and that’s just boring. Tonight’s game was decided by a single run scored in the 8th inning. I don’t really care that the White Sox won or that the Astros lost (although I would have preferred the opposite). What bothers me is that in the end it wasn’t very exciting, despite all of the controversial calls on the way to the series.

That’s another thing that bugs me. Bad calls (questionable at least) seemed to be the bane of the post season this year, and I hate to see that when they directly affect the outcome of such important games. So many people think replay in baseball would be the worst thing ever, but sometimes I think it would be appropriate in some situations. As a baseball fan, I guess I’m just disappointed in how things wrapped up.
