Slightly off topic - I was at a work function (they call it a Leadership event in the Land of 1MM Dreams) and sat on a shuttle with a Sports and Rec guy with a Braves golf shirt on.  Turns out he used to play baseball at the minor league level.  We talked about the Sox and he assumed correctly that this is one agonizing year for me and all Sox fans.

The bit of perspective he brought (the reason for this meandering of mine) was when he said "You've got basically the same team this year as in 2005, don't you?"  Well, yeah.  "It just goes to show how much luck and timing are involved."

I stuffed his copy of "The Black Swan" up his arse and left the shuttle.

The horror...the horror.

Hey...the best-hitting guy in the line-up is A.J. with a whopping .267 average. Go team!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Autumn upon us
Bat swings fall upon deaf ears
Drink beer to ease pain

Cue circus music (again).

Thanks Bobby!
