April 5, 2017 Baseball

Wednesday, 4 a.m. Now, of course, we panic. This is what we do in the face of reality. We run in circles and scream that the sky is falling. Our eyes bulge and our blood pressures rise, and we let ourselves believe that we will never score again. All fun has been canceled. Because this […]
