A Red Sox Moment

Though I have followed the Red Sox closely this year, as I always do, I have written little of the 2005 edition of this team. I do however, wish to make a brief point.

Certain words and phrases are inherently scary. Just to say them out loud is to feel a tremor of fear, to feel the hair on the back of your neck stiffen. Words and phrases like 'testicular cancer' and 'blind date' and 'sleestack.'

But is there anything more terrifying than the words 'closer by committee?'

That's scarier than clowns.
