As the great A. Bartlett Giamatti once put it, we are left to face the fall alone. Of course, the World Series is coming up, Tampa Bay against Philadelphia, but Boston's offseason has begun. Effectively, we're in the same boat with all the other teams in baseball-we're not going to win the Series, either.
I guess the offseason has to focus on another big bat, maybe two-either we need a full lineup of strong hitters, more like Tampa, or we need another big bat to pair with Ortiz. Of course, Ortiz being Ortiz would help, too.
The World Series starts Wednesday.
Interesting articles in the New Yorker last week-a long piece on a French bond trader who helped bring the markets down, and a piece on Joe Biden, and a long piece by Malcolm Gladwell on the nature of creativity-late bloomers versus prodigies.
I love the New Yorker-it reminds me that there are other intelligences out there somewhere.
Blogging does that, too.
