I am afflicted with that special condition shared by Red Sox fans across Red Sox Nation. This condition is a unique blend of hope, fear, joy and anguish. David Halberstam ever-elegantly writes about the state of the nation in a piece in today's globe.

UNTITLED
The playful, end-of-August winds portend
a time when nights grow soft and slowly still;
and as the gaeity of summer ends,
retreating from the soon advancing chill
of autumn's rustling gait and steely gaze,
the verdant maple leaves all seem to dance
a bit more slowly, counting off the days
until they fall to yearly circumstance.
