If you are any sort of sports fan you will realize that October is the greatest month for any type of sports fan. We have baseball whos regular season has just come to a close and the playoffs just about to begin. We have football going into the mid part of their season which separates the contenders from the pretenders. We have the start of the greatest game on ice, hockey, and this year will be the year of the Islanders. We also have the start of the NBA at the very end of the month.
After reading a couple of my blogs youll realize that I mostly look forward to the Major League Baseball playoffs in this great month. Baseball's playoffs are the best out of any other sport because only 4 teams come out of each league so it really shows the best quality of teams unlike the other leagues that allow 6 or even 8 teams into the post season. Baseball in October is like nothing else either because it gets extremely cold in some places and makes the game that much harder to play and when guys make plays in the freezing cold you have to respect them that much more.
By October the NFL is in full swing and you really get to see which teams will be playoff worthy and which teams will be making tee times for January. The weather is beginning to turn throughout the month and the hits get harder and the ball also gets harder which once again has to impress the audience whose watching these guys put theyre bodies on the line when you know once you get hit its going to hurt for a very long time.
The NHL and NBA are just getting started up during October which brings back 2 of the most exciting games in the world. It shall be very interesting to see the fans reaction to the whole ref dilemma in the NBA and to see if the NHL can bring back all of the fans that they lost due to theyre lockout just a few seasons ago.

I love this line:
"separates the contenders from the pretenders."
You have to love October for all these reasons. I look forward to the playoffs every year too, and now that basketball is starting soon. I don't know what I'm gonna be watching every week.
baseball playoffs are great, so un-predictable, so interesting. Anything and everything can and usually does happen in October; despite all the issues with steriods and such, October always makes baseball a cut above the rest.
Baseball playoffs are always intense hopefully we see the two right teams make it this year and thank god one of them is not the Mets. But the start of the NHL season is going to be bitter sweet.
