There is a space between one and zero.

It is the distance between possessing and never possessing.

You can whine about umpiring and conspiracies.

You can gloat about the regular season standings all postseason long.

You can sit on the dull pythagorean throne of run differential.

You can do all this and still not possess that which is possessed.

There is a space between these two things,

Between something and nothing.

And there is a name for the space between one and zero,

For the difference between the Angels possessing a world championship...

And the Texas Rangers staring at the dying bubbles of their ginger ale.

And the name for the space between ONE and ZERO is Gulf.
