Whitt's End: 10.08.10

Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End:
*A sentence I thought I'd never live long enough to type: The American League Championship Series -- Texas Rangers v. New York Yankees -- starts one week from today at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Peench me.
*Division banners. Pep rallies. Meeting the team plane at the airport with only a 2-0 lead. It's all so well, rinky dink. And soooo dang fun.
