\n like a thrice times three times loser in love, fallen for this
\n years edition of the Olde Towne Team, and that I realized the time had
\n come to rise above the shards of my oft-broken baseball heart and find
\n the courage to love again.\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n see clearly what a pathetic sap I almost was. The Sox, who have made the
