It Figures
There's a logical reason for everything. Especially, when you get to concoct the logic after an event's passing. Who can argue with you? Lay it all out on paper or on blackboard. Toss in a few Greek letters signifying importance, shorthand, and history (all at the same time). Voila! Step-by-step calculated certainty of what happened. Questions!?!? Just point to the end result. So, the Red Sox did the improbable. They read their own press clippings, which assured them of an appearance in the World Series. Then they promptly went into the dark hole of 0-3. Eternal darkness awaited them. But, as the formula shows, nothing to fear. And here they are today, victors @ 4-3 out of 7. For those formulaically inclined, it was always to be anyway. It's in the numbers.
