Once more unto the breach!
I know it's only May 1st, but tonight we're renewing the annual rivalry with a two-game series against Boston. We're also tied for first with Boston. We also have their former CF and all-around "idiot" Damon playing for us. Perhaps these things don't matter to you, and perhaps you'd all rather watch a Cuba Gooding, Jr. movie instead, but don't say I didn't try to get a little chatter going on here!

Tonight is the first real test for me: Can I separate fantasy baseball from the real thing? Where are my loyalties? Pray for me gents, because there's going to be one hell of an internal struggle taking place in Arlington.

Baseball is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,

I don't believe in McCarver,
I don't believe in the hit and run,
I don't believe in monuments,
I don't believe in lineups,
I don't believe in Pedro,
I don't believe in the Bambino,
I don't believe in Landis,
I don't believe in Zimmer,
I don't believe in Mantle,
I don't believe in Jeeta,
I don't believe in Yogi,
I don't believe in Cooperstown,
I don't believe in Sandman,
I don't believe in Cashman,
I don't believe in Yankees,
I just believe in me,
The Apostle JT and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was the dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
Today was game seven,
But now it's gone,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

Steiner, if you truly feel you're being tested, then indeed the dream is over.
John Lennon wrote that, I just tweaked it.
You quoted a British pacifist about baseball.
The Cuba Gooding, Jr. movie I suggest for your viewing pleasure is called "Boat Trip." Enjoy.
Looking back at that, I love how I never lost faith in TAJT.
One that issue alone, you've never waivered, Steiner.
Hey, do you think Manny and Ortiz will sit out tonight's game as a show of solidarity with their fellow immigrants?
Haha. That's great. That would be so great. I didn't even here any talk of trying to get pro-athletes to go along.
If the players did sit out, the Mets would have to forfeit their game for sure.
