Being able to write mathematical proofs may be toe-curlingly sexy but, as any mathlete/quiz bowl participant/ junior chess club champion, can tell you: when it comes down to brains versus brawn, brawn wins. (Of course, Yale or no, having a philosophy degree probably means that Ryan Lavarnway's mathematics education is lacking.) Having come up in bunches of situations where he could help his team, the brains just didn't help him out.
But former best beloved (It's undecided whether one can just jump from former best beloved back to current best beloved) Craig Breslow, who does have a thorough math education, pitched well. So score one for brains anyway.
Meanwhile, the team is back under .500. But I've decided to not care about that anymore.

Truth
Religion is a manifestation of deep emotion that will out, one way or the other. Either in an atheistic political ideology or in an excessive fierceness of being secular. Or the Red Sox.--E.O. Wilson
