The Opus.

It was only a month.
Around the beginning of September, I came off watching an Oakland/Yankees game where the Yanks got tagged for a 12-0 defeat. Pissed off at hearing how the Yankees were horrible despite their payroll, and whether Torre would be back, whether Cashman would be back, and then looking at the looking at the lineup Torre trotted out there, it all came to a boil.
Torre had to go.
So I began writing, justifying why Torre needed to go (an obvious unpopular stand to take as a Yankee fan). I traced back to the days of Showalter, and pointed out issues that I had with Torre and his usage of players, and how the front office was bringing in talent and how Torre was handling it.
And it just snowballed. Endless analyzation. Rambling. ADD doesn’t help the fact, and having to leave it and come back prevents coherence, so I’d have to go back, figure out where my roll was, and then try to pick it up from there. The more info I wrote, the further back I’d have to go. It got to the point where I dreaded that post.
But the thing is, I couldn’t write about anything else. The guilt with that thing is that when I went to write about something else (the World Series, for example), the Spinning Tires in the Bronx post was right there in my “drafts” section. Hell, as I write this, there’s three other posts there. One I know I’m not going to finish (about Dusty Baker and the Cubs), and two others I intend on finishing.
So I finally took the Bronx post and put it in the “pages” section. Read it at your own risk. I don’t consider it an actual “post”, but I don’t want to throw it away. I may come back to work on it some day, I might leave it as is.
But at least it’s out of the queue now, and I can get back to normalcy. If you’re interested, it’s here.
