Catch 22

That's right. There are only 22 games left in this up and then down 2006 season. A season full of hope and excitement and first place brought back to the depths of reality by injuries to key players. The most debilitating? Jason Varitek. That set the tone for the second half of the season. When smiles turned to frowns and frustration reared its ugly head. The last time I looked, that same frustration has slowly morphed into resignation....resignation that our October dreams are just that-dreams. 22 to play. No time to give up. Not for this group.
