My heart aches after the insanity over the weekend in Pittsburgh.

No more curse. The trade of Babe Ruth doomed the Boston Red Sox for 86 years. Almost 90 years is a long time without winning a World Series. Now they’ve captured 4 in the last 13 years after finishing off the Dodgers last night. Steve Pearce, a real baseball Dirt Bag (a good thing by the way) is the MVP. Now my thoughts turn to my beloved Braves who haven’t won a title since 1995.

Quote of the Day: “When a man opens a car door for his wife, it’s either a new car or a new wife”…Prince Phillip of England
