We had no damage, and yes, no electricity means no water. My neighbor has a generator, which has been a godsend -- he's so generous it's embarrassing. So it really hasn't been awful, just a drag. But no power still, and none expected for a couple of days at least. (I live in a low-density area, and reasonably enough National Grid is focusing on the more densely populated areas first.) Ms. Oct, I work in Providence and everything is just fine here in town, so I get regular connectivity and everything, even outside of B&N. When the Yanks sweep, everything is going to be fine. I just know it. Hi, and thanks for the sympathy!

Besides the power being out (and as I read, that means no water for you), was there any other damage to your home? Yeah I know that sooth means the truth, and a soothsayer can predict the future. In AJs case, he can't handle the sooth. [12] I wish you all the best. Besides the power being out (and as I read, that means no water for you), was there any other damage to your home?

Sorry. But maybe "sooth" is more appropriate, like maybe we can predict a comeback for A Burnt Jet? And I do know that “soothe” is spelled with that final e. Sorry.

D-Rob is only human, and bounced back admirably. Freddy ain't dead, and must be in the regular rotation. AJ should have been on the DL before his last start, and the time off might have reduced the pressure on him. If he can't throw his curve for strikes, then every hitter will just wait on the fastball. The situation is that now he has to start in Boston, there is no option unless a call-up from WB/S is put on the roster, not a viable choice either. AJ had better find a way, with a very short leash employed. I'm almost feeling sorry for him, but there are a lot of people and situations that need our sympathy more (flood victims in upstate NY, Vermont, and other locales). AJ's millions can sooth a lot of personal chaos. Great recap, and a nice win yesterday. D-Rob is only human, and bounced back admirably. Freddy ain’t dead, and must be in the regular rotation.

He's been somewhat better recently. Not good, but not the godawful mess he was in the first half. Hank, thanks for the reflections on D-Rob. I was feeling bad about the HR, but now I feel better.

I love the ending. Someone please tell how, for chrissake how, ferthelove of pete, how can Girardi pitch Burnett in Game 3. It's inconceivable! That man should never pitch another important game this season. Is it against the law to reshuffle the rotation? Nice write-up Hank. I love the ending.
