Sam over at The Useless Tree continues our conversation about the meaning of baseball in the context of ancient Chinese philosophy with a brilliant post about the “Dao of Manny.” Once again, Sam’s wonderful insights (almost) make me forget that he’s a Yankees fan. Let’s go Red Sox!….袜子都红/太阳升/波士顿出了一个大绿墙(城?) Okay…so I’ll leave the poetry for other people. 反纽约帝国主义!

OK…so your guys win tonight. But, as a historian, you really do have to recognize true historical greatness, no? As in 26 championships, right? And, if we think of long term trends, I guess we can all look forward to 2090 when the Red Sox will win another series. Happily, it won’t be in my lifetime (unless I really do find a Taoist elixir of life). Go Yankees….

Sam…
I came home from teaching a class and was all ready to listen to the archived broadcast of Friday night’s game on MLB.com…but first I moderated the comments on my blog. Thanks for the spoiler. I now can spend my afternoon doing productive tasks.
2090? Isn’t that when Carl Pavano’s contract finally expires?
