Pax, Amor, et Lepos in Iocando

The Yankees lost. I can't believe it.

Baseball is a sport that invites superstition--so perhaps you can forgive me feeling guilty for not watching Friday or Saturday night. Surely that had something to do with the losses. (although it didn't seem to have much effect on Game 2). I'm also confused--every year that my family has grown, the Yankees have won the series (which explained last year's screw up by Mariano). I get married--Yankees win. We have Number One, Yankees win. We have Sam Gamgee, Yankees win. We have Daddy's Little Princess, and the Yankees LOSE? I just don't get it.

Jeff Nelson (I do miss him, but glad he's getting a chance to shine a little brighter in Seattle) summed it up best in his headline: Shocked, surprised, wrong. Amen.
