It certainly has been a long campaign. It has had ups and downs. And now it comes down to this...on Tuesday the first of three crucial meetings. Most people say that the first one is the most important of all, because a disaster there would be hard to overcome later. Emotions are running hot, as this is a high stakes situation and one of the participants is widely held to have shamelessly cheated a few years ago. Nobody likes cheaters.
I am of course talking about the baseball playoffs where "my" team the Minnesota Twins is facing off in a best of three series with the sign stealin', cheatin' Houston Astros.
What? You thought I was referring to something else happening on Tuesday night?
Well I suppose I'll have to watch the debate instead. If I can figure out how to watch it later and enjoy the game live I'll do so. But lacking new technology (TiVo) or functional old tech (VCR!) I'm not sure if that's possible.
It has been an odd year in so many ways. Both in baseball and in politics. But there is one big difference. Soon the baseball season will be over and I'll miss it. Soon the 2020 election season will be over and I won't.
* To be clear I don't actually see the world of politics as being neatly divided into good and evil. Nor do I see the world of baseball that way with the obvious exception of the clearly evil New York Yankees.

Witholding political comments, I will wholeheartedly say, "Win Twins", "Go Braves", and curse the evil Yankees.
