"Mason Montgomery (acquired by PIT) is an electric lefty reliever with some of the best pure stuff in MLB. "

Christmas
Today we celebrate God's stepping into Time. In this extraordinary integration, He enters a Middle Eastern family and places Himself in their care, the finite and the Infinite in a simple domestic human scene.
Always responsible to Him, humans became responsible for Him.
Imagine that. This is a moment of almost Nordic complexity.
The message of Christianity--that of forgiveness, love, family, and community of man--so distilled down in the symbols of this holiday, is so optimistic and hopeful that one is always struck by the homicidal, nihilistic, despairing, and similarly faith-based philosophies that have risen as alternative explanations of man's condition.
It is hard to believe an active evil force is not present to influence it.
Merry Christmas.
