Roger Angell was always my favorite baseball writer. But over the last few years, I've become quite the Dan Shaughnessy fan. Sports writing can be so incredibly bad: a veritable pile-up of mediocre cliches. But it can also be so good. Bud Collins is great (check out those pants). George Vecsey (damn Times Select). There was one I used to love at the San Francisco Chronicle.
Anyway, Dan captures the mood in Red Sox Nation. Looking grim, but then again, we're talking about the Red Sox. And yes, I know they won last night, but still, we're talking about the Red Sox.
I am so not up for the possibility of FOUR series to make it to the end (if next weekend's series against the Yankees matters, which presumably it will--I mean, they can't fall to 3 1/2 games behind between now and Friday, can they? Then again, they are the Red Sox.)
