It feels like when you have two high-class frontrunners going out to the lead and dueling all the way around in a horserace. It feels like that kind of playoff ice-hockey that goes into overtime or multiple extra periods. Yes, the best of playoff <em>b&eacute;isbol<\/em> is like this, unlike repetitive hoopball or bombastic American Gridiron Throwball. Playoff <em>b&eacute;isbol<\/em> and playoff hockey and high-class frontrunning horseraces and 1-nil <em>f&uacute;tbol<\/em> games are always superior spectator events, nuanced and subtle. Hoopball and American Gridiron Throwball for repetitive bombasts only. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Also, no good, Jeurys Familia, no good. Two bad postseasons in a row now. Bring back John Franco.
