The Red Sox ended up where we thought. So how are we all disappointed?

COMMENTARY

I watched a good amount of Thursday’s final Athletics game at the Oakland Coliseum, repeatedly struck by the parallels to the Whalers leaving Hartford 27 years ago. (To be fair, those parallels also strike me while grocery shopping, brushing my teeth, and observing it’s a Tuesday. I may have a problem.)

I was also struck by an idea I’ve seen, and made here, in various forms.

“Yo, all of this is so absurd, but also this one thing affected me in this specific way emotionally.”

That’s from Kyle Porter, who “use(s) golf to write about life” in his roles with CBS Sports and his newsletter, Normal Sport.
