I lacked the nerve to watch the game in that little square on MLB's "Big Inning." But at least now I can watch the condensed game with pleasure again. 2 out of 5 isn't great, even on the road; but it's better than 1 of 5!
I read a book about backgammon years ago. The author called it the cruelest game because it was like baseball: you play all the right odds, but the roll of the dice (or a bounce or the wind or some freaky variable) cancels all of your brilliance.
It's a mistake to confuse this forum with reality! 😉😂 This is the space to panic or to get crazy-euphoric, although it's occasionally interrupted by stats and other intelligent talk.
Anyway you slice it or spin it, this is bad. Come on tomorrow! And may we get back to the good fundamental baseball the pundits have been praising us for.
If poise is grace under pressure, we're fixing to see if we have it. Losing a double header under these circumstances is not a sign of poise.
Neither is overreacting to a couple of games.
I'm rather busy tonight. So y'all must make the win happen!
Oh wait, that sounded superstitious. And I am NOT superstitious ('cause it's bad luck.)
Just win, Brew Crew, whatever or whoever!!!
Pardon this New Orleans guy's ignorance. But I just learned about the George Webb 12 wins thing. I think it's pretty darn awesome. Hope y'all get some!!
