Watching the Sox at least living history, whether or not they win this game. I think the best thing to come out of the drama of a come from behind series like this one is it tossed a little work to poor Doris Kearns Goodwin. She got to chat a bit with Tom Brokaw about the hometown team.

Don’t get me wrong, as a writer and a performer, I’m not going to excuse plagiarism. However, it seemed like she was onluy allowed out of mothballs every four years to comment on presidential elections and whatnot. Now, here we are in a neck and neck race for the future of our country, and she hasn’t been scene much (at least not by me). It’s tough when you can’t even get seasonal work.

I’m hoping for a Red Sox win, not only for the obvious local loyalty reasons. If it comes out Houston versus Boston for the World Series, we might want to just forget the presidential election. A Texas-Massachusetts baseball game is probably more honest than what we got going on these days by way of the electoral system. Maybe they should play in Florida to really underscore the game of it all.
