Well, here we are at .500 in game 99. It’s like a new season. All we have to do is win two out of three of our remaining games and we have a chance. Yeah right! Watch out for those flying pigs.
Ever wonder what happened to “long relief?” Used to be teams had one or two of those. I guess they’ve gone the way of the knuckleball. The reigning philosophy appears to be a new reliever each inning regardless of how he’s pitching. I guess managers now believe if they are not seen to be “managing” they’re not doing their job.
For those of us who live in the present, however, let’s kick a little Cincinnati tushie tonight. Rah Cardinals!
Din-din (another grand-kids request): Meat loaf, baked potatoes and snap beans, with a green salad and some unsweetened iced tea (granddad’s insistence). Fresh fruit for dessert (granny’s contribution). Sunday morning breakfast request – biscuits and gravy (these kids are big on the basics).
