The Red Sox took three games from the Yankees over the weekend and the Rays have lost seven out of their last ten. All of that adds up to the Sox pretty much locking up the division and allowing us to block off our calendars next month for some October baseball. It also frees up lots of time for us to think about other hot topics. Not Syria or interest rates or gloabl warming, but, you know, other stuff.

Scott from Scotts and his stupid Shrek accent need to go. I’ll pave over my backyard before I buy a single seed from them.
