I found I had pangs of both joy and pain from incidents that would cause everyone here to have quite different reactions - especially the pain where you all would feel joy. (Hint: Red Sox not present during these games.)<br /><br />I guess it's like running into your ex, and you remember a wonderful time together, and it stirs up old feelings that you didn't realize were still there.<br /><br />Then, of course, you go home to your partner and remember, this is how it should be.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-3987678874097252742011-02-17T05:13:00.412-08:002011-02-17T05:13:00.412-08:00(So what was the part that had you fuming?)

I thought the steroids issue was handled very well, full of the context it needs to be properly understood, as I would expect from Ken Burns. <br /><br />I did <i>not</i> like Howard Bryant or that idiot Hoenig, but their perspectives were important to the film.<br /><br /><i>though at several moments, I expected Boswell to break into a George Plimpton impression. Even George Will showed a deadpan humour and (gak!) charm.</i><br /><br />Boswell was totally the ghost of George Plimpton. <br /><br />George Will is so hard to reconcile. How can anyone be so great about baseball and so awful about everything else? :)<br /><br />As soon as Doris Kearns Goodwin finished speaking the part that Allan quoted, I said, (after asking Allan to hit pause), that's it, right there, that's your piece on how 2004 changed Sox fans.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-43514813074099577042011-02-17T04:44:13.973-08:002011-02-17T04:44:13.973-08:00I haven't had the chance to see that episode y...I haven't had the chance to see that episode yet.
