...reality he had replaced them with other musicians. The two boys were devastated. “My mother took each of us in her arms and said ‘One day you’ll be so good they won’t even be able to afford you.’” Golson said. “And sure enough, years later the two of us were at the Newport Jazz Festival, and we were saying to each other, ‘Those guys are still in Philadelphia and we’re here...

...Ortiz hitting? With the Yankees playing as if they are human, Manny Ramirez exploding, and J.D. Drew returning to the form of his youth, Big Papi is just getting a slump out of the way when the Sox can afford to absorb it. When the team urgently needs him, which they will, he will do as he has always done: bend down to pick up the mortals around him and single-handedly carry them on his back.
