The Sox Slide
“Why is Boston ultimately doomed? Who knows? We’ve been down this road before, Jonah, you and me. I recognize that I probably put too much stock in chemistry and not enough in biology and physics. But John Lackey has more friends in that clubhouse than Jacoby Ellsbury does. I don’t care which of the sciences you believe in: That’s a bad sign.”
(I try not to care much about sports, but I still love reading about them, especially when the story involves a good downfall, and this one was epic. It’s got mass appeal—those who love the Red Sox, those who hate them, and those who like to read about grown man millionaires acting like doofuses. I’m soaking it all in. Also, worth reading the Boston Globe’s original story as well.)
