Distraction

Games 123 & 124 - Red Sox

Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 1
Blue Jays 15, Red Sox 4
Record: 71-53

I love the Olympics. Always have. I'm a sucker for the pageantry, the pressure, the pure athletic joy. And thanks to the good people of Beijing, I like them for an entirely new reason this year: the ongoing quadrennial hypefest meant that I didn't have to pay a lick of attention to the dreadful performance of Josh Beckett and the Olde Towne Team this weekend.

Here's hoping Usain Bolt does something cool tonight.
