The 2020 regular season is in the tank, and boy did it come to a close yielding nothing special — a rather quiet end.
Certainly was a quiet season from me. No Jargons since the previews.
Now, I could sit on my hands and continue to avoid putting forth some effort here, but I feel like I need to come out and talk about the six playoff teams.
Yes, six teams remain, and the divisional playoffs are going on right now to see who moves on to the NLCS and ALCS.
Oh! If Hershey’s was here reading and looking for a new product name, they’d be inspired to create the Punbar!
That new chocolate bar not only would melt early, it would be like the Topton Tornadoes — an instant hit!
Tommy has pulled off the last-to-first move in the AL, something we’ve seen from new franchise owners before, and in true Quad Eh fashion, he won a divisional tie-breaker with Choo to get the bye in the AL.
And the way Choo is going right now, he may be happy that he is playing this week. Two days in, with games still in action right now on Saturday, and he has nine homers.
He may get 10 before I finish this Jargon.
The NL division title was a close battle, too, as JV reclaimed his spot atop the throne with a 2.5-game edge on the Dude.
Quad Eh did everything he could to hand the wild card spot to yours truly, but a horrible Wednesday and Thursday by the Slammers turned what was a 4-game lead on Wednesday to a 14-game separation by end of Thursday.
I sank faster than a Bayliner in a Trump parade.
Now, it’s the Dude and Quad Eh battling for the chance to play JV in the NLCS.
These two notoriously tied in the NLCS last year with Quad Eh advancing to the World Series.
Just as Choo — still at nine homers — is happy to be playing this week with all his homers, the Dude should be happy considering the fact that No. 1 seeds haven’t fared so well in the history of the JLB.
Maybe this year will be different.
I mean, of all years, it certainly has the M.O. to be just that, and I'm betting 2020 has a few more surprises left in the tank.
