Torn...

....between rooting for the Rays because of this cool bit of wisdom...

and the Sox because my already harried mental state due to the Mets continuing ability to fail me will not allow a Phillies' championship without catastrophic results for both myself and those around me.



Such was the reaction on the first day of spring training when Maddon told his players that the slogan for the season would be 9 = 8. The room, full of furrowed brows, figured this just another oddity from Maddon, a fine-wine-drinking, good-book-reading Renaissance man in a baseball uniform.

“I like to be esoteric,” he said.



This however, makes me want to be Joe Maddon.
