I really, really dislike this team; haven't found one player to care about. I think they're a fluke. And ZERO personality!!

PeaceBang, Mrs P and I hit upon a fine solution last night: Go to bed in the sixth, with Boston up 6-0. We went to bed hopeful and woke up jubilant, no sweat! Then, early this morning, as I was chilling in a Starbucks during the early service at Mrs P's church, I listened in on a boomer joggers' group as the bleary-eyed guys described their various approaches to late nights in Red Sox Nation. One was philosophical: He had gone to bed at 6-2, realizing that if he stayed awake until 2 o'clock only to see the Sox lose, he'd be mad, but if he went to sleep and they lost, at least he'd be glad he hadn't stayed up. If they won, he'd be doubly happy. It seemed like a very stoical (and un-fanlike) approach, but I confess that it has become mine. Except for tonight. You bet I'm staying up to the end for this one. See you at the victory parade! Um, Fausto, I’m trying to look on your suffering at Fenway Park with compassion, but it’s not working, ya big lucky.

At least you were already home when it ended. You didn't have to fight the traffic home from Fenway at 1 AM, and then wake up again at 6 AM to rake the babysitter to early band practice, and then drive to the office and work 10 hours, they way I did on Friday.
