I'm back from Jersey, and TAI needs a freshening -- so let's get right to the most important story of the day...the baseball playoffs. "If baseball is a romance language, the World Series is its wedding vows" -- so opines hardball bard Dave Anderson in the NYTimes, listing the top ten most dramatic possible matchups, none involving the Marlins, clearly. It all begins tomorrow night...it's just like 1999 all again, sigh.
