I know the enjoyment should be tempered and diluted, a lesser version of what draws me to baseball in the first place. Watching the Dodgers lose is exponentially less satisfying than watching the Giants win. But it's been over a week since I watched the Giants play. Just like putting your head under a gas station faucet after a week of camping can feel like a day at the spa, so go the adventures of the New York Mets against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Mets are up 2-1 in the National League Division Series. They need to win one of the next two games to advance to the NLCS.
