The world will not allow me to pretend there is not a trade deadline, for Manny seems to have disappeared.

This is not good.

I think he has a bad bout of diarrhea and Francona had to take him out last minute. That is what I'm telling myself anyways. It's a lot better than the alternatives.

OMG TERRIFIED

According to the Red Sox press box, the decision was made for Manny to sit out tonight because of everything that's going on.

Yeah. Way to scare the shit out of us, Terry, thanks.

Seriously. Was there a reason that announcement couldn't be made, oh, BEFORE THE GAME STARTED?

Insufficient drama? Attempt to fake us all out and make us realize that we love Manny?

Probably just another case of Terry managing a game that is occuring in an alternate universe. He has a lot of those. I bet in that universe, he's brilliant. Of course, the Terry in that universe is likely managing our games, so maybe not.

I have no idea what is going on. I really, really wish I could root for a normal team.

Hmm. Don't pick the Tigers. They are weird because they have all these great players but can't manage a winning record. Don't pick the Astros, either. They are weird because they went from being 15-30 in May to leading the NL wild card race.

Wait, what's a normal team? How's that work?

I don't know. The Phils suck, but they're relatively even-keeled.
