Spectator Sports From Tim Hyland, your About Spectator Sports Editor Maybe you're not a big baseball fan. Maybe you don't much care about our national pastime. Maybe you think the game is too slow. Too boring. Too dull. And maybe, as a result, you rarely if ever pay attention to the Major League Baseball playoffs. I get it. I mean, really, I do. Baseball is an acquired taste, and in a country that is ever-more used to instant gratification, it's not for everybody. But I will say this much: Even if you don't love baseball, you might want to pay attention to the playoffs this year. And there's one reason why: The long-suffering Pittsburgh Pirates have actually made the postseason. We'll take a look at the Pirates' chances of winning it all, and much more, here in this week's About.com Spectator Sports Newsletter.
