Zombies are hip

August 25, 2010 By: Cecilia Tan Category: Baseball Musings, Xtreme Columns

Zombies are in these days. There are zombies in Jane Austen novels, in movie after movie, and even in romance novels now. Zombies are hip. That’s what I think every time I look back and see the Red Sox are still clinging on without completely fading this season.

This is remarkable given the sheer number of players they’ve had on the DL or lost for the season. With a 73-55 record, they’d be in FIRST PLACE in either of the other two American League divisions as of today! (And be only half a game back in two of the NL’s divisions, as well.) This is not exactly the usual showing of a gritty team barely holding it together.

About

I founded "Why I Like Baseball" as an online journal of baseball enthusiasm in 1999. That was before "blogs" were a phenomenon. See the "About the Author" link on the front page for the complete lowdown on me!
