My Eyes are Fully Open (to My Awful Situation.)

Well, pigeons. It's quite a pickle you've gotten yourselves into.

I think that most people probably would have picked the Astros to win the series but one would have liked it, if you could have been at least a little bit competitive. But what's done is done.

So we turn, as one does in times of difficulty (if jaunty Gilbert and Sullivan doesn't do it for you) to New Englander--if not by birth, then at least by heritage and nature--Robert Frost:

Len says one steady pull more ought to do it.
He says the best way out is always through.
And I agree to that, or in so far
As that I can see no way out but through—
Leastways for me—and then they’ll be convinced.

"A Servant of Servants" (ll. 55-59)

Onward gentlemen! Win.
