I still haven't figured out what those numbers in baseball odds mean. You have to bet $105 in order to lose $120?

I'm so glad someone else needed to ask that question.

In other words, the Sox are the betting favorite.  Just like in 1919.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.
