"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Good morning, all.

The short version is this: Say the Red Sox, Yanks, and Indians end up 95-67. The Sox and Yanks would have a one-game playoff to determine who gets the division title.

This is not what was explained on the radio -- public radio! Must be September, if they're covering obscure baseball rules! -- this morning. In the event of a three-way tie, there would be two one-game playoffs. Cleveland shouldn't get in by default, playing one less game than either of its competitors.

Only if Boston and New York end up tied, and both ahead of Cleveland, will there be no playoff game at all. Then they'll use the regular-season series record, which New York has won, and we'll be in the wildcard.

Oh! Susan Orlean audio essay about "Sweet Caroline!" She interviewed David Wells, the ZZ Top pitcher, who was like, Who doesn't like Neil Diamond?

(She's 3 months too late; the Globe ran a history of the song being sung at Fenway this summer. It turns out, it was a total fluke, that caught on.)

Oh, and should I mention, today I should get my NEW CAR? Yes, I probably should. (2005 Subaru Forester, btw.) Now I must leave for work toot de sweet.

Gud, your kids are cool! You didn't by any chance take them to the Coterie's Dinasour Musical did you?

No I didn't, I didn't even know about it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm awake. I don't think I need to be.
