After the horror of yesterday's Times' sentimental pro-Red Sox editorial, something kept trying to rise past the psychedelic filmy layer of prescribed pharmaceuticals that keeps serious information from entering or leaving my brain. But my hardy brain persevered, and this is what that oh-so important thought bubble wanted to express: "Hey! Who owns the Red Sox?"

It turns out, brain, that a bunch of people do, including the parent company of the Times — in cooperation with the Boston Globe. How totally unholy and utterly sad. (Real world analogy: it's like Hearst and Conde Nast teaming up to purchase the Palm Springs weekly free paper.)
