"What weeping face is that looking from the window?
Why does it stream those sorrowful tears?
Is it for some burial place, vast and dry?
Is it to wet the soil of graves?"
- Walt Whitman, "What Weeping Face"
In less than a day there won’t be any green-collar baseball for an eternity and a half. This season hasn’t been one wrought with good memories or good baseball, filled more by frustration than elation, and in all honesty, putting this season to rest and embracing a long offseason and a fresh start next year is probably what this team needs most.
