Those wise words are from the movie "Bull Durham", one of my all-time faves. My three favorite baseball teams each experienced one of those outcomes today. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies beat Xavier 9-2 at beautiful McGraw-Jennings Field and I was able to listen to the game on the internet. For only $6.95 a month, I can listen to my old ballclub beat up on their Atlantic 10 rivals. My favorite part of the game (besides Grini's grand slam) was the postgame show with Coach Sudbrook. Coach is one of my favorite people in the world due to his excellent sense of humor, extensive baseball knowledge, and big heart. He is the reason that I will always go back to Bona's for Baseball Alumni Weekend because he is one of the most entertaining personalities on the planet and a dear friend. I wish Coach and the Bonnies all the luck in the world.
The Chicago Cubs didn't just lose-they were demolished by the Brewers 16-2. When I turn off the game, you know there is no hope for a comeback... Jim and Dusty better put their heads together and come up with a better starter than Glendon Rusch because he is BRUTAL. Better luck tomorrow, boys.
The Memphis Tigers got rained out this evening. I was really looking forward to the game because I haven't seen them play in 10 days. That is way too long for me to go without seeing a live game-I'm getting the shakes. Anyway, the Tigers will play a doubleheader against Miss. Valley State at noon tomorrow which will hopefully get them back to their winning ways. GO TIGERS GO!
