Why does baseball make me cry?

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart." -- A. Bartlett Giamatti

Thanks Bart. Mission accomplished. I find it ironic these are the words that I have repeated several hundreds of times and today the Red Sox sit on both sides of this quote. From Oct. 2, 1978 and Buddy F'ing Dent who hit a wall to deep left to win the AL East Playoff ... to today ... watching the vanquished Tribe lay listless ... helpless ... beaten by a better team.

The ghost of Bart Giamatti lingers on, as does the curse of Rocky Colavito. I bet they are playing pinochle somewhere up there ,yucking it up.

I am going to go cry some more now.

I know your pain Mikey. Cleveland was definitely the 2nd best team in baseball this year, and look promising for years to come assuming they can manage their money better and keep that core group of young players together. I'm going to give them a decent shot at being Vegas's favorites to start the year next year.
