I kid you not, my spider-sense was tingling when I saw Mota give up that
first hit and walk. I changed the channel hoping the carnage would end, but
six runs later, they -still- couldn't get an out. It wasn't bad managing. It
was just "one of those games." I think they had many more of those last
year.

Yes, it was only one game...... but every game you win now is one less you
need to win in September. Besides, the Crew is a more mature team this year.
They'll forget about this loss quickly enough.

"Filled with mingled cream and amber; I will drain that glass again;
Such hilarious visions clamber; Through the chamber of my brain;
Quaintest thoughts, weirdest fancies; Come to life and fade away.
What care I how time advances?  I am drinking Weisse Beer today."

~ Edgar Allan Poe
