Sports find ways to amaze
Red Sox, Braves sent home
(A Haggy Haiku)
=====================================================
Sports are realistic soap operas.
They have intense storylines: heroes, pariahs and the inevitable fixation for the dramatic.
Atlanta and Boston seemingly had the Wild Card spots in the NL and AL locked up.
Or not.
Injuries, fatigue and impressive, resilient play by St. Louis and Tampa Bay changed Atlanta's and Boston's feeling of comfort, to uneasy, to lost, to simply stunned.
Kind of how the Vikings felt after leading the Lions at home 21-0 at halftime Sunday, only to lose 26-23 in overtime.
It happens in sports all the time; the reason why they make for the best programming and form of entertainment at our disposal.
Stay tuned. Because as the great Yogi Berra astutely said, "it ain't over till it's over."
