There’s nothing sports writers like writing about more than “chaos.” It’s chaos heading into the day before MLB playoffs. It’s chaos this week in college football, as big matchups will mean big moves.
Really? So teams are gonna play and then rankings are gonna change. got it.

@whitesox Great job Machete! You have been my son’s favorite player for years! He would like to invite you to his birthday party on Aug. 10. We know you have a game that day but wanted to ask! — Benji

One of my favorite annual traditions is to tune in to WFAN New York sports radio the day after the Yankees are eliminated from the playoffs to experience the hand-wringing/rending-of-garments in all its glory. Never disappoints.
