REVERSE CURVE
I just read the AFKATBSG’s column/emails and I must have blocked this out.
Three moments are etched in my brain forever:
1. Pedro comes off the field after the 7th pointing to the sky thanking his God for a strong performance ... he's done
2. Nomar's hug in the dugout after the 7th, thanking Pedro for his work and letting him know they'd take it home from here.
-- Mark Foss, Hamilton, Mass.
How the hell could I have forgotten that series of events? I think subconsciously I wanted to block out those events to rationalize Shady Chicken Little’s decision to help me deal with it better. The numbers regarding match ups are inconclusive (if you want them send me an email) so I was siding with SCL, but SCL SHOULD NOT HAVE MISSED PEDRO’S SIGNS THAT HE WAS DONE. Give me a freaking break SCL! A player needs to be both physically and mentally ready to perform. Pedro made it apparent that he was not ready mentally to pitch the eighth. I want Little’s head on a stick and a shoulder to weep on now.
I do not plan on posting for the rest of the week. I need a break. Since placing a counter on El Guapo’s Ghost, I have averaged about 50 visitors a day. More than I ever thought. Thanks to all!
