I concede your point, sir! I have just been able to start paying attention to the game. I've been cooking at church and hanging curtain rods at home. No excuse for ignorance, though; thanks for calling me out.
When I was a mediocre but enthusiastic softball coach, and when I knew the other team's weakest batter was up, I would give a sign to our pitcher that meant "just throw strikes and she'll get out." That's the sign I'd throw if Ortiz* came up to bat,
*insert any name here
I'm sure Ortiz is a fine human being, but whenever he comes up to bat, I lose hope of scoring or even continuing an inning. (OK, a walk; woot.)
Anybody miss Keston Hiura?
<pause>
How about Isaac Collins or Caleb Durbin?
Good night, friends. Yeah, I don't foresee any miracle comeback.
Except for these last 4 miserable thumpings, it was a good season, with many enjoyable wins.
I'll leave the postmortems to others for now.
