Spotting the ISS whizzing overhead is not unusual; it orbits Earth every 90 minutes. According to NASA, the station is the third-brightest object in the sky and can be seen with the naked eye as the sun reflects off of it. There’s even an interactive map to help sky watchers determine when the ISS will fly overhead next so they know when to look up. But the ISS is not the only habitable station in the sky....

/phone rings Oh. Oh, really? Wow, that’s unfortunate. They didn’t even make the … wow. And Chicago is playing who in the first round? Cool. /hangs up phone Predictions, like ours involving the Senators, are stupid. So, so, stupid.

You’re wrong because anyone who knows his baseball lore (and you don’t know baseball if you’re not big on lore–it’s our most historical sport) has to admit that there’s something extra about the civil wars periodically fought on the diamonds of New York. An extra zap of electricity in the stands, an extra surge of emotion on the field, an extra dose of civic humiliation awaiting the loser–whatever the reason, these games have produced some of baseball’s most indelible moments....
