"yawn" --- these post-season awards are boring compared to the Sox road to World Series victory.

You know what, I think the bloggers have done a basically sound job. I'd like to see a GG award next year too.

Hmm
So when people say "The Man" is holding them down or they are working for "The Man", they mean you, right?

Re: Hmm
I'd be, frankly, confused about who the hell else they'd be talking about.

I spend about 90% of my day holding people down.
