Now presenting, the b-side version 7.40.

Part Seven.40 - Free Falling Part 2.

All that hard work to get in the playoffs... and then the losing side wins all of one game. Combined. Over 4 series. Of course this is much more preferable to the slow torture that the NBA calls round 1. So I guess the Cubs aren't quite read to break their curse. All that payroll seemed to have helped the Red Sox, but not so much for the Yankees and (Los Angeles) Angels (of Anaheim) (LAAA). Also affected by gravity this week, Marion Jones. I know athletes aren't usually as blessed in the brain department as rocket scientists, but do they really think that flaxseed oil can do so much? I like to think its more of a case of willful ignorance (rather than deliberate deceit, slight difference in culpability) . If the explanation is vaguely plausible (WMD?), you have deniability, which if not quite equal to innocence, is at least better than the alternatives.

Stay tuned next week for more stream-of-conscious type weirdness.
