But yeah, the title probably led most people to skip by it without reading it thinking it was just another emotional reaction piece, which I hope it wasn't. BT -- I have no idea what you just said :) I can only follow what goes on on the field. Most of the economic details I have no opinion or understanding of... ...but if it isn't obvious, I'm not used to having commenters other than my brother or my friends, so I'm kinda just glad someone read it :) Eric — thanks for the compliment; although I do wish I was able to express my thoughts in a much more concise manner :)

Duke, this was probably the most rational explanation of the causes of this season that I've seen yet. I'm actually a bit surprised that Theo didn't say something similar at his most recent press conference, but maybe he doesn't feel the need to justify things to the media.

And the Red Sox are paying $ 100 million ot remodel Fenway Park (but receiving $ 37 mm in state tax funds)? Gam, set , match - NY for the foreseeable economic future?
