• Since who is on first, who pays any attention to the syntax of things, we will never wholly swing like Ildemaro Vargas, wholly never be fooled like Mike Hazen while Spring Training is in the world that the Diamondbacks have a better fate than the wisdom that comes from failure, so do not cry--the gestures of Taylor Clarke, the laughter watching the struggles of Juan Burgos: we write for each other, for baseball is not a paragraph, and losing, I think, is no parenthesis.

reflections on the reds
