Thanks, Red Sox, for keeping my Braves’ collapse off of the front page.

You can take the Braves out of Boston, but you can't take the Boston out of the Braves.

[who knows what evil?]

Keep in mind that your Braves USED to be a BOSTON franchise...someone had it out for Boston this year; past and present.

Have pity on me. I've been a die-hard Red Sox fan since 1978 (first year of grad school; something about walking up that ramp and seeing the Green Monster was an epiphany) and I live in Atlanta.

The saving grace is that I'm a baseball fan first. I grew up in a household where I'd come into the kitchen for breakfast and my mother would say "Bobby Richardson went two for three last night and Aparicio stole his 41st."

As an adult I had the joy of taking that elderly mother and my own children to Braves playoff and World Series games, Wrigley Field, Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Camden Yards . . . Cooperstown, and so on. My mother turned 86 this week and has been to twenty-three MLB parks. The Great American Pastime.

The post-season's here. Let's play two!
