4. 1986
At last Cedeno is patroling left for the Dodgers.
The single to left is rolling right at him.
He bends over to pick the ball – but not far enough.
The ball continues unimpeded to the base of the fence.
Cesar appears in 36 games and bye-bye.

3. Hey, I think we’ve all been having those sleepless middle-of-the-night anxiety spells lately.

Certainly the climate of media over-saturation concerning the environment, the economy, and the BIGGEST ELECTION EVER only fuel the stress levels. I mean I must have had ten conversations with friends over the past week about how today’s results are truly “Do or Die,” and how our country is poised at the brink of a Game 7 sudden-death overtime when it comes to our political future…

You should do what I do when I find myself sitting in front of a computer having a panic attack at four in the morning. Let technology work for you.

Just look up some obtusely convoluted and complicated internet primer about something that already confuses you (such as tax codes and interest rates), and then go to one of those Web sites filled with articles about how the world is going to end in December of 2012. Stir, marinate, lie awake staring at the ceiling listening to sports-talk radio.

2. Ironically, I was up at two last night myself, with no idea why other than I woke up thinking about some of my more irksome grad students. I went to the computer and read about the Dodgers awhile. But then I thought about a book I read last week, Stephen Ash's Firebrand of Liberty, about the first black units to see action in the Civil War. In the opening chapter, Ash describes how these white officers and politicians came to the South Carolina Sea Islands to speechify to the soldiers and other newly-freed slaves after Lincoln issued the Proclamation. At a certain point during the festivities, though, one of the freedmen just began to sing "My country 'tis of three, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing." Soon, all of the just-freed slaves joined in. What a song for former slaves to sing, people with broken backs and scars and lost children. I finally went to sleep wondering what they would sing on this day.
