The HauntingI'm glad I only caught the last two inning of yesterday's game. I don't want to know how bad I would have felt had I vested my interest for 10 full innings. This was by far the worst loss of the season. One guy just called in on the talk shows and said that if they kept statistics on gut wrenching losses, the Bucco's would be #1. This kept me up. I couldn't stop thinking about it.It was a blown call that kept me up. Yeah, I'm that guy, I'm going to blame the Umps. "But Rory," you say, "bad calls happen. They even out over the course of a season." Not this time my friend. There is no chance for it to even out when the call makes a game over into a game. Will we get a game changing call later in the season? Maybe, but not like this. Tell me how and when some call going our way is going to make up for our destroyed confidence, and who are we going to be playing that day that convinces the nation that we are the real deal. This was not a game breaker, this was a season breaker. If I sound like I'm whining, I am. I'm crying as much as Jose Mesa did in the dougout last night. If this team bounces back from this. I will be a hundred times more amazed then I already have been this season, and if they don't bounce, I can't say I'd be surprised. posted by Rory at 11:03 AM | |
