Once again, no Red Sox.

The Red Sox are on a travel day today, heading to New York to play a three game series against the Yankees.

Once that is done, they'll head back to Boston to play a make-up game against the Indians and then two games against the Cardinals.

After that, they'll do it again when they host the Yankees and then head to Cleveland to play the Indians.

I read an interesting analysis today about North Korea. It seems to me that every news outlet has been saying over and over again that North Korea will not negotiate.

Then I found this interesting tidbit that seemed to make a lot of sense to me.

In the article, the writer says, "The media cherry-picked a part of what the North Koreans were saying in order to write a sensational story."

Here's the key North Korean statement with some emphasis on the part the media is not covering:

We will, under no circumstances, put the nukes and ballistic rockets on the negotiating table. Neither shall we flinch even an inch from the road to bolstering up the nuclear forces chosen by ourselves, unless the hostile policy and nuclear threat of the U.S. against the D.P.R.K. are fundamentally eliminated.

They, meaning the media and the government, need to start paying attention to what is being said.

I'm going to watch the Pawtucket Red Sox play some baseball.

You can look at these:

• If you ever wondered if Glen Campbell could play the guitar, wonder no longer.



• Key line in this Florida story: "...police found fecal matter in the toilet..."



• Watch this video and at the 53 second point, you will laugh.
