    And so, my friends, the Total Amateur Analysis is fast approaching the end of yet another season. Now, obviously the final tallies are still pending the result of today’s game, but I thought the final series against Tampa Bay went rather well, despite yesterday’s loss. In and of itself, of course, not taking the rest of the season into account (I suppose I got punished for taking pleasure in Cleveland’s bad record back in July). I will watch as much of the ALDS, ALCS, NLDS, NLCS, and World Series as I can, but I probably won’t do full-blown posts on them. At any rate, look for a more detailed (two-part) season review sometime later this week.

    UPDATE: It's not so much the loss today that bothers me. It's the fact that the loss got pinned on Galarraga, plus it inched his ERA up some more. I don't know what the deal with the wild pitches was, but Galarraga deserves better (Kinda like that Ben Zobrist three-run homer last Thursday).
