And thanks, Scott, for suggesting a better way to catch the Series. My Click-Refresh way was maddening; when NY went up two runs in the seven inning, refleced in a click from 8-1 to 8-3 I nearly had a heart attack. Jimmy, I like Lethem, generally, but yeah, this interview struck me as some overwriting. Jeff, I understand the bitterness. But it's my identity as a Braves fan that fuels my post-season love for other teams. I have to go somewhere with my love, and I usually go to the underdog. (By the way, I hope you noticed that I didn't comment and even tried *not to pay attention* so as not to jinx them, the Braves, this year. But alas, I got interested despite myself and they lost.)

Jeff, I understand the bitterness. But it’s my identity as a Braves fan that fuels my post-season love for other teams. I have to go somewhere with my love, and I usually go to the underdog.

Amazin'. And to think that people are missing a damn fine series in the real league, hopefully one that will produce the ultimate World Champs, though it seems that folks think that prize has already been awarded. Sorry, I'm just a bitter Braves fan. What I can’t believe is how many Red Sox fans seem to be crawling out of the closets. Amazin’.
