Was this payback for our tri-fecta with Boston?

The collapse last fall. The Giants' Super Bowl victory. The ruination of Fenway's 100th birthday.

Did it all come at a juju cost?

Because we just suffered a threesome of injuries:

Joba, Pineda and now this.

This we know: Mother Nature is a maniac. Every day, the world turns over on somebody who the previous day sat on top of it. And everything ends, eventually. Everything.
