The comfort of powerlessness.

We sat down last night to watch a couple old episodes of “Inside the Actors Studio,” the first one featuring Sting and then another starring Anthony Hopkins, the latter of whom said something toward the end of his hour that, naturally, made me think about baseball.

Today is the tomorrow I was so worried about yesterday.

Thursday, in other words, for the Rangers.

Or at least Rangers fans.

Or at least me.

Texas 4, Toronto 1 was one of the most difficult games of the season for me to watch. Coming off two kick-in-the-junk losses — one a ninth-inning spit-up and the other a savage beating — Thursday afternoon’s series-ender felt like a much more important game than it really was.
