10/1 A Full Circle Mea Culpa or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Offseason

Good to see a lot of you here for the final day. I've been struggling to meet a writing deadline, and I just now popped in to see the news about Wake. He's my age and from Florida like me, so I've always had affection for him. Sets things in perspective (and makes it hard as hell to try to finish this comedy script that's due tomorrow.)
That being said, writing the poems here, and getting comments from you, helped me finally break out of a year-long slump that I suffered since losing my mom, so I am deeply grateful to those of you who took the time to read and comment. It was a poor year for the Sox (again), but I great year here in the pages of SOSH.
Here's hoping the playoffs offer some excitement - not sure for whom I will root yet - and that the off-season provides us with some momentum into 2024. I am am rambling from writing all night and hearing about Wake and watching the season end so poorly... so I will stop for now. See you all in the off-season threads!

Our anticipation for your writing every day was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dismal season and horrible last day. Thanks for sharing.
Infield errors and smart baserunning?
What is happening?
Have the Sox and the O's done some kind of team-wide Freaky Friday body swap?

A 30 HR/100 RBI season used to be pretty special.
Seems underwhelming this year (I guess the bad D has taken some shine off)

The pitching coaches made some adjustments apparently. Let's see if they're doing anything with strategy for the 3rd time through.
Verdugo did a very interesting juggling act with the sun there. Happy for Houck that he won the contest.
Cora's been taking them out throughout the game: Devers, Masa, and perhaps others I haven't noticed.
Ah thanks, the first couple at sorta made sense against a lefty. That was the first one that made me shake my head.
Welp, if we're going to win anyway, might as well try to win by 9 and have a non-negative run differential.
