Postmodernism in action

A six-inning no-hitter to finish a game and a bullpen that blows a lead to
start a game. That, friends, is what postmodernism is all about. Leave it
to a team whose stadium is practically on-campus at a major university to
demonstrate this principle of subverting master narratives (cf. Torre,
1996 and 1998) so skillfully. Of course, it would have been
postcolonialism if the Indians had won, but that's another whole issue for
Atlanta to solve in upcoming rounds.
