The Boar’s Head Tavern

“Or how much curious and loving attention was expended by the first man who looked hard enough at the insides of trees, the entrails of cats, the hind ends of horses and the juice of pine tree to realize he could turn them all into the first fiddle. No doubt his wife urged him to get up and do something useful. I am sure that he was a stalwart enough lover of things to pay no attention at all to her nagging; but how wonderful it would have been if he had known what we know now about his dawdling. He could have silenced her with the greatest riposte of all time: Don’t bother me; I am creating the possibility of the Bach unaccompanied sonatas” (Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb, p. 19 HT to Doug Wilson

BASEBALL: This post-season looks real good. Every series has an interesting angle…

MARLINS vs GIANTS – Two old skips who are reaping the rewards for years of efforts in the game. Both good guys but I’d enjoy seeing Felipe win it all for all his years of quiet patience and Christian dignity with the Expos. Big Guys in 4.

BRAVES vs. CUBS – Perennial winners vs. perennial losers. How can you not cheer for the Cubbies?. I’ll prognosticate with my heart and say Lil’ Bears in 5.

TWINS vs. YANKEES – Team megabucks vs. Team budget. Would love to see the Twins win this one. My heart says the team that was supposed to be contracted should beat the team with the big contracts in 3 – would prove that there is such a thing as justice – but you know that’s not gonna happen. Pinstripes in 4.

A’s vs. RED SOX - Billy Beane vs. the Curse. It’s time the @#$%&* curse was lifted. Crimson Hose in 5

NOTE: Thanks to the lurker who pointed out to me that division series are not best of 7 but best of 5 affairs. Thanks Jonathan!

On February 7th, 2002, a diverse group of Christians started a wide-ranging weblog conversation. Today, that conversation continues and you're invited to pull up a chair. Welcome to the Boar's Head Tavern.

"The things I thought were so important - because of the effort I put into them - have turned out to be of small value. And the things I never thought about, the things I was never able to either to measure or to expect, were the things that mattered." --Thomas Merton
"Jesus came to raise the dead. He did not come to teach the teachable; He did not come to improve the improvable; He did not come to reform the reformable. None of those things works." --Robert Farrar Capon
