Si Papi Puede!

Today in the city where I live, half a million people marched for miles down one the nation's busiest corridors for social justice, equality, and simple human dignity. And the Red Sox beat the Y***ees 7-3, capped by a David Ortiz shot directly into the wind in center field.

I'm having the kind of day which makes me question which is more important. The march, probably, but only because this is just the regular season.

For another comparison, it took the first marchers an hour and a half to go a bit over two miles from MacArthur Park to Wilshire and La Brea. It took Doug Mirabelli twelve minutes to get from Logan Airport to Fenway Park.

Game two of the series tomorrow. Social justice much later.
