I'm not use to playoff baseball, it's hard for me to watch. Each game is so different, either they are in it or getting blown out. I work out in the garage until about the 4th or 5th inning. If it's a blowout, then I just go back out to the garage, less painful that way.
I canceled my espn+ and haven't missed the Eastern games one bit though I do miss checking out FCS games from around the country. College football for me bucks now. Eastern sucks, Pac12, has been destroyed, hate Big10(18) football. As a Husky fan I don't give a rats ass about Illinois, Rutgers or any of them. I would often take in a 7pm game between Oregon state and Arizona because it was all relevant West coast football but that's all gone now. A bunch of cougs were crying in their beer when they got left behind but or their fans I think they are in a way better place. Just my 2 cents.
