If only Dr. Charles was still around to work with this...(Photo - T. Merrick)
OK, so you know how I can tell when Red Sox Nation really, really, really needs to start having some baseball take place? When I start getting e-mails from readers who are taking pictures of their bacon, that's how. Apparently there's been a miracle in Syracuse, NY as Tom Merrick cooked up some divinity the other day for breakfast. I'll let his below story account for this unexplained phenomenon, however he should just feel lucky that Doug Mirabelli wasn't around or they wouldn't even have had a chance to snap the above photo.
"Gentlemen...the Baseball Gods spoke to me this morning via breakfast meat. I can only take this as a sign of which team will reign supreme in the upcoming baseball season. I am sharing this with you not because I'm a Red Sox fan, but because I seem to have been chosen as a messenger. A vessel, if you will. I assure you that attached photo has not been doctored or photoshopped in any way. I assure you that it came out of the microwave exactly as you see it here. Forget the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich. THIS is the true miracle.
Sincerely, Tom Merrick Syracuse, NY
PS -- I would be willing to submit the Miracle to further testing and evaluation. However, unlike Brian McNamee, we disposed of the evidence."
This quite possibly is the best e-mail I've ever received via SawxBlog, but one question, who microwaves their bacon?
What a coincidence. I looked at the skid marks on my underwear this morning and they were shaped like sox! I assumed this meant that their season was going to go down the shitter, but the bacon proves that they are going to reign supreme once again. YaY!!!

Wow, This says it all. The Sox are fat pigs and will get digested by all other teams this season. Just like microwaved bacon...OVER RATED!
I for one sure hope we don't make the playoffs this season...I hate playing all of those extra games. And the World Series, that's just way to much work for me!
Manny.
