Reeling and Writhing
A.J. Griffin taught the Red Sox their lessons in reeling and writhing: 8 innings pitched, 6 hits, 1 walk, and 3 strikeouts. They also had classes in Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. (With thanks to Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.)
Boston lost last night but the real losers, in my opinion, were Americans. George Zimmerman was found not guilty. Baseball is a fine distraction, but this travesty is difficult to ignore.
