World Series Bound?

According to experts, Boston looks like it could go deep into the playoffs. *Knock wood* But you've got to wonder, how that could be possible when they can't seem to beat the Pirates? I know it's only spring training and nobody really cares. It's not time to hop off the bandwagon. Yet.

So they've got a little mini slide going on. No big deal. Especially because I've figured out their current problem. They've all forgotten how to play baseball well; missing catch-able balls, throwing balls away, face planting on the pitcher's mound, striking out. It all adds up.

Mike Cameron, who started the spring off very hot, is having an especially difficult time remembering how to swing a baseball bat.

On an unrelated note, I saw this little kid in a Cameron t-shirt when I was at lunch today and it made me inexplicably happy.
