Pestilence

We ran into a bit of trouble Friday night. It was around 5:30 in the afternoon. Suddenly, and without warning, flies began converging around our kitchen area (the common housefly variety). They were merely irritating initially, but as their numbers swelled they became intolerable. After a few unsuccessful hand swats, I borrowed a flyswatter from a neighbor and started doing work on them. As the death toll mounted, I became alarmed as their numbers didn't seem to be diminishing. 10, 15, 20, the fly corpses piled up in the kitchen sink, and still no relief. With wonder and amazement, Dr. Z and I continued swinging. 30, 35. . . The swarm abated as darkness fell and the sink pile grew. We finished the night at around 50. A few stragglers remain and we have been unable to determine the source. We keep the place fairly clean; whence this plague of flies? Is it revenge for my work in Virginia? Perhaps we'll never know.

The flies came to your place because Yankees fans smell lie a rotting corpse.

David Ortiz is spot on. Man, I like that guy.

Big Papi: you are a fraud! Not since Jason Giambi have we seen such a precipitous post-steroids drop in performance. You are a non-factor! Thank you for finding more and more ways of letting your team down in the clutch.

27 Home runs since June. Over 70 rbi's during the same time. You want to discuss clutch? We can always talk about 2004 Game 4. And Game 5. Its October now, good luck with A-Rod.
