Good point about the logic-defying Sox. They (and Buehrle) used a perfect game as an excuse to start sucking, and then inexplicably turned it around against a team that wasn’t losing to ANYBODY (the Angels). I know the Cheat drew parallels to the ‘04 season, but the big difference is that this year’s Sox are playing with the house money at this point. They SHOULDN’T be in contention, but for the fact that the division is horrendous. So let’s enjoy the ride this year, secure in the knowledge that the lineup (and rotation) looks like it sets up well for next year and beyond.

Two of three, and one of those wins is thoroughly unconvincing?

I’m not concerned about sales — it’s about having all the data I need easily searchable and accessible.

anyone who has your book is probably a regular. I doubt the outage will do much to affect sales.

The Orioles are terrible and the Sox face them at home; we all know exactly how this is going to end.

Nope, Octavio Dotel has the hat.

I can put the Pods Paradox up there. Until the end of the season, importing old posts is going to be a purely manual process based on ones I need.

I am working on ‘10. I’m hoping the site outage doesn’t kill it, but I’m optimistic

Does Brad wear a big, funny hat?

You should put links on the side to things like White Sox Eulogies, big articles like the Podsednik Paradox (I’ve thought about e-mailing that to Bernstein) and the book. You working on an Outsider ‘10? Better be. Taking a look at the “books” on the Sox I’ve seen in Borders and Barnes, you could easily have the market cornered.
