The Aftermath

Mere days after the trade of Nomar Garciaparra to the Chicago Cubs, Red Sox fans (oft referred to as Red Sox Nartion) have been forced to come to grips with the sudden departure of our one-time superstar. Many flirted with Cubs fandom, but then realized that (Cubs:Cardinals)/1.561=(Red Sox:Yankees). Numerous rumors have also floated around from Nomar refused to play for the Red Sox to Nomar was being paid by Steinbrenner to fake an injury.

Whatever the reason it is clear that Nomar suffered from Mediitis: n. an overwhelming aversion to being an object of media coverage. Symptoms may include grouchiness, irritability and the inability to focus. Cause uncertain but thought to be either internal mental state or external parasite known as 24/7 media in search of a story.
