Tim Wakefield approved

Just wanted to shoot out a belated congrats to the Sox on making the postseason yet again. As far as autumn in New England goes, I think I'll miss October baseball more than fall foliage, Sam Adams Octoberfest, and hating returning college students.

Special congratulations go to Jason Bay, who had to switch the dates of his timeshare in Sanibel to November for the first time in his career; to MVP Dustin Pedroia; to captain 'Tek and his robust .220 batting average; to Tito's fleece pullover; to Dice-K's finesse; and to Tim Wakefield, my all time favorite Red Sox player.

Yes, Tim, I also approve.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled China programming...
