Even though we were ahead, then were getting our ass kicked, we played through our bad times, and kept playing through the small good times, one base runner at a time. It was actually amazing. Sometimes, you can play super ugly and still preservere. Winning isn’t always pretty. With this self indulgent blog, what do you get out of it? I don’t know, maybe nothing.
