It is a wee bit pointless now, considering the sox series victory in
2004

Poor Don, still trying to catch up since post-Underworld

What? Another famous author needs to get all poetic about Bill Buckner
and
the Curse of the Fucking Bambino? Another movie with the Red Sox as a
metaphor for fatalism and futility? Or faith? It's done. It's played.
The
coup de grace landed in Mientkievicz's glove.

I love Delillo, but people need to find a new model. In a bittersweet
way,
The Boston Red Sox are now just a very good baseball team. The dragon
lies
slain.
