Haven’t really paid too much attention to baseball this season. There’s good reason for that – been extremely busy this spring & summer (especially with directing The Books). However, I do owe an apology to my fantasy baseball teams this year. I did not give you the attention you deserved.

But now that things have settled down and autumn is here, my attention turns to you, dear Red Sox. Very excited for this postseason. Went to a game last weekend in Baltimore … heading to Fenway next weekend. And hopefully to an ALDS game (*if necessary). Should be good times – no matter the outcome.

I even watched what appeared to be the equivalent of a Red Sox cover band lose to Toronto 12-0 last night.

I must say – I still like this team in the postseason. I like the makeup of the roster … and I like that it’s not ours to win. This postseason – it’s the Yankees’ to lose. If they win, it will simply be what should happen. If they don’t – glorious failure. Looking forward to it.

BrooklynVegan has the setlist and pics from the Neko Case show last night at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square.  Bit of a strange venue, but Neko and co were great … and her voice sounded amazing (obviously).

This blog entry made me jealous of Mike Doughty and how he’s filling his days in February.

My co-worker sent me this … apparently Bill Simmons linked to it today.  It’s incredible.  John Tesh is so incredibly oblivious to himself, it’s astounding.

Also, check out what the violinist is wearing.  Makes Coldplay look fashionable.
