I don’t recommend this for the weak of stomach. But there are people made of sterner stuff than I am who are tracking it in the Swamp, and Swamp all-timer Mr. Delaware calls attention to this entry from Mr. All-Suffering:

“So our trip ends at 3-3. We are on the plane back to Boston, where we will land around 4:30am and spend an off day at home. Something none of us have done for about 8 weeks now. Not to mention none of us got to wake our kids up for Easter. I certainly don’t want that to appear like a whine, even though it is, because there are thousands of men and women sleeping in the deserts of the middle east now, who have not been able to wake their kids up for months on end and are in a lot worse situations than we are. Just sucks to not be able to spend the holidays with the family, no matter how much money you make or what kind of life you lead.”

I give you Mr. Delaware’s on-point take on this, inspired by Schilling’s plight:

“For those of you Swampers that are parents, when you tuck your kid into bed tonight, please say a little prayer for the soldiers overseas and baseball players on road trips that don’t have an opportunity to do the same.”
