SEVEN UP

Paul explains the 7 game Red Sox Yankee confusion.

I saw on the blog you were confused about the Red Sox and Yankees. In fact the playoffs have not started yet. Before Monday night both teams had 7 games left (they were tied at that point). The Red Sox have a 4 game series against Toronto and the last 3 games against the Yankees in Fenway. The Yankees play Baltimore 4 games before they come here. I know there are mixed emotions on the playoff format, but it does make it more exciting in a way. The ironic part is that either the Sox or the Yankees may not make the playoffs. One will win the division one may go home (the wild card possibly coming from the Central division this year). Hopefully the 3 games in Fenway will be meaningful and may the better team win. Go Sox!!

The confusion is all mine. My reading of the sports pages is confined to the headlines on the first page.

I also read The Daily Fix in the WSJournal OnLine which is a compendium of stories from other papers, linked.

I skip a lot.

Now that it is mostly football, I will soon be skipping almost all of it.

Did I mention that I cannot stand to watch football or anything about it? Loathing would be a mild description.

Anyway, I got my hat out and ready to wear. GO SOX!
