...accused the pleasantly, permanently befuddled Bosox manager of knowing much about ornithology, but over the past two weeks he's watched his boys do a frighteningly accurate impression of a dying turkey. In fact, almost all the teams in American League have been giving the Sox the bird of late, as Zim has presided over a choke of near spectacular proportions. The locals, who were once playing so high they were reportedly considered as extras in Star Wars II, now look much more reminiscent of The Bad News Bears--that monstrous 10-game division lead has shrunk to a mere...
...tell you what they're going to do, Congressman Paul Tsongas can tell you what he's done," says one piece of his campaign literature. But a good number of liberals who support Tsongas are doing so because they are infuriated at Guzzi for entering the race late, thereby splitting the liberals who had been solidly behind Tsongas...

Make no mistake about it; there will be a pennant race. Sorry, greedy fans, no runaways here...

It's painful watching Boston's racist fans get on him in particular (although he is in a worse slump than anyone else) when the rest of the team is messing up, too. But Boomer's heroics of late make you wonder yet again about that trade with Milwaukee two years ago for Cecil Cooper. Cecil is 25 and a future great, but for the Boomer the salad days are over...
