Dog Years

The Red Sox suffer a tough loss to the Orioles behind a mediocre Pedro …

Bill:
I'm trying hard not to get down on Pedro. Anyone can have a bad start, right?

 

---

Mike:
He's never been particularly strong in April even when he was the pitcher he was before he was labeled as "not the same pitcher he was before"…

 

---

Bill:
And Mike Mussina's ERA is cruising along at 8.22 and I don't know one Yankees fan who's freaking out.

 

---

Mike:
Still, I don't feel so hot. Le stress est son truc.

 

---

Bill:
I hate sulking. Life is too long for that.

 

---

Mike:
Don't you mean too short?

 

---

Bill:
No, too long.

 

---

Mike:
Ah, you're right. And each year as a Red Sox fan is like 7 years of being a regular fan. We are like dogs.

 

---

Bill:
Speaking of dogs, BDD is getting the word out on the "BAL-CO" chant. I'm going to be hearing that in my head all day.

The life's too long idea comes from Dyer's novel Paris Trance
