Whenever a fellow human article suffers -- be it the heartbreak of psoriasis or the mystery ailment known as E.D. (both of which are curable, thanks to science) -- we find ourselves taking comfort in the words of the great Redsock secondbaseman Pumpsy Green, who said, "As long as there is a family without food, I am hungry. As long as there is a soul in prison, I am incarcerated. As long as there is a starting infielder batting .184, I am on this team."

It hurts us. Oh yes. It hurts a lot.
