Fire It Up

We don't know who we're playing. We don't know which Joba will show up if he comes out of the bullpen. We're not even sure he'll be in the bullpen. We don't know what CC will have for dinner tonight. But, we do know that the ALDS elmblem is on the field and that makes us giddy and nauseus. We do know that we're playing someone in Game 1 tomorrow at 6:07 EST. Here are some final words before this crazy city we call home is taken over by postseason baseball.

1. Substantial piece on Jeter by Will Leitch in this week's NY mag. Whatever you want to say about Jeter, this man epitomizes class and this article is very telling.

2. We don't give two hoots how CC pitched in his final game. The Devil Rays couldn't cough up the talent to afford a ticket to the dance and CC isn't as mental as AJ. He didn't come one win shy of 20 because he's been sitting around reading tarot cards.

3. Speaking of AJ, looks like Molina will be catching for him (we still love you Posada). He's clearly all about comfortability. If he's that mental, having finished strong might make the difference in his October success.

4. Ignoring all articles on A-Rod's coldtobers. Everything about this season points to a turnaround.

Rest up, boys. Get hungry.
