A veritable quandary, homeboy.
The Red Sox lose 6-7 to the Indians, 5 losses in a row …
Bill:
Ah, is it OK to panic now or will the holier than thous make fun of us?
Doug:
What us panic? Get the fuck out. This is part of a grand scheme.
Bill:
Yeah, Theo Epstein is playing chess while we play checkers.
Doug:
Yes, these losses are good doncha know? It's more efficient to group them together like this. It's about process and not outcome.
Bill:
It's like they used to say in Vietnam: "We had to destroy the village in order to save the village" The Red Sox, likewise, have to lose games in order to win the division. Makes perfect fucking sense.
Doug:
Vietnam? Hey, don't you be bringing John Kerry into this bad Red Sox mojo. He was in Vietnam you know.
Bill:
You're shitting me! I did not know that. You'd think that'd be part of his campaign or something. [Laughs] So do you think the Red Sox are in a quagmire?
Doug:
I do believe the Red Sox are completely mired in the quag.
Bill:
A motherfucking imbroglio?
Doug:
A veritable quandary, homeboy.
Bill:
Let's spark up that Eddie Murray incense already. I bet "I Get High" Manny has some handy.[Laughs]
Doug:
Nuscle up to some downhome stanky and let our uptight cracker jack asses bogart the first place joint.
Bill:
Don't worry, be happy. Yeah, that'll fucking work. Excuse me while I go take a bat to the company water cooler.
Doug:
Like a filthy hound in a time of elegant drawbridges, I ache with hope.
Author's Notes
Doug's reference to "process and outcome" is a reference to the Billy Beane/Theo Epstein school of thought as presented in Moneyball baby! ; while the "filthy hound" line from Letters to Wendy's Feb. 9, 1997.

if you're not around for the misery you can't be around for the joy.
