::insert transitional music here::
All I can say is, for a rain-shortened game, last night’s loss produced more angst and stomach upset within my fragile chemistry than the entire month of May. It’s hard to say what angered me more. That bizarro world line-up that Tito fielded? Trot getting picked off second base in a critical, two-out, bases-loaded situation? Millar looking abslutely lost at the plate? Miguel Tejada and his bizarre Muppet-hinged mouth yap-yap-yapping on the bench?
Screw it all, I say. File it away in the dark recesses of your mind, and stumble out tonight to see Bronson vs. Ponson.
