Playoffs?!

You know whats crazy about playoff baseball? One play often makes the difference between a win and a loss. This series with Boston has honestly been decided by just 2 or 3 plays. In game one it was Lacky's poor curve ball that hung over the plate just long enough for Jason Bay to knock it out of the park. In game 2 it was the miscommunication between Torri Hunter, Erik Aybar and Howie Kendrick when they let the routine fly ball drop between them scoring three. Game four was decided by Willits getting tagged out at third when Erik Aybar couldn't make contact with a ball in a bunt situation. It seems to me that regular season baseball is so much more preditable, or at least if you make a mistake you have more time to make up for it. Playoffs is a whole new creature, its kind of like a rattlesnake because it strikes so fast and so painfully, but its also like a poodle because playoffs are so showy and gaudy. So think about that; playoffs are like a rattlesnake-poodle hybrid.
Check it out, it's Playoffs the Rattle-Poodle!!!You're welcome!

I think in the dog world they have things like labradoodles and what not (any breed mixed with a poodle is an abomination in my eyes, simply because the resulting K9 has such a pathetic name). So following suit, would this technically be a rattdoodle?
