I will do this—drink heavily—-then sit on couch with said sadness—–think about next spring training for hope springs eternal and my squad can bounce back (Twins).

Fuck the fundamentalists. Einstein was right.

Just pointing something out, probably not much to it, though: that’s the second time this year I’ve seen Bryce Harper completely lose a fly ball hit right at him.

“In a groundbreaking article, T. L. Freeman discusses the relationship between actual age and effective age1. His conclusion is that the passing of the years goes faster as we grow older. This makes sense; for instance when you are 10 years of age, a year represents 10% of your life, and seems like a very long time. However, when you are 50 years old, one year has reduced to only 2% of your life, and hence seems only one-fifth as long.” http://everything2.com/user/Professor%20Pi/writeups/Why%20time%20appears%20to%20speed%20up%20with%20age

If this crushingly depressing bit of information hampers your day, I hear drugs are good for it. Either that, or just sitting on the couch with a general sadness inside helps.

So now, in the extremely unlikely event that the Feesh make it to the World Series (though I think it more likely that Ahmadinejad will become a Unitarian) they’ll have home field advantage. Whoo-peeeeeeee.

Wasn’t that the start of a good run for the Yankees?

Yeah Baby!!!

Good thing though for the NL. It wasn’t all Giants that won this thing, but it seemed like it through my orange and black eyes. Will be helpful in November when the Giants do it again!
