A digression, but not a joke. I just spent the last 30 or so minutes watching a big ol' tortoise, a rare sighting around here. I followed it from the sidewalk up into my neighbor's back yard where it placidly muched on a some weeds and grass and even brushed up against my foot. Was that worse than seeing the Brewers give up 3 in the 8th?
Of course, getting 4 or 5 in the top of the 9th would be better than watching a tortoise.
