Resilience
Well, that was a good week or so. Buccos are now 6-7, having salvaged the rest of that road trip and then took it to the Reds. Sunday's game I'd given up on them and then they came roaring back with 10 runs in the last two innings including two home runs by "Fort" McKenry.
I don't think I can get on board with calling someone "Fort."
At any rate, since returning to .500 and then having a chance at the first place Deadbirds, they got killed Monday. As a former Scoresheet player I always embrace big losses thinking that means a better chance to get some close victories. Maybe this isn't true. In any case, they were rained out last night. I see no reason to panic. The offense is rounding out. McDonald had a bad game. He says he isn't hurt. Here we go.
I need to get back into the swing of turning the games on. First year without cable. Maybe that's affecting it.
I'm a little bit regretting my decision to abide by the strict definition of my rules and not pick a previous season's playoff teams, even though the Braves only had 1 playoff game. They are cruising right now with only 1 loss so far though they are losing 1-0 to the Royals in the 9th right now.
