I've said it before but just so we're clear: I hate math.
I was listening to the radio, and about the 6th inning or so Pat Hughes said that he thought the game turned not on the 3 run homer by Raul Ibanez in the first, but rather on the pitch just before he hit that one out.
I guess it was a close pitch, shoulda been a strike out.
And then Keith Moreland said that baseball?
Why baseball is a game of inches.
And I thought, "Really?"
After the game, I decided to "do the math", as they say.
Even an art guy can figure this one out.
There are 12 inches to a foot, and 90 feet from one base to the next is 1080 inches per base.
You gotta touch 4 bases to score a run, so 4 times 1080 is 4320 inches per run.
If the Phillies scored 10 runs, that would mean 43,200 inches for the Phillies.
The Cubs scored one, so that's 4,320 inches for the Cubs.
Final score: Phils 43,200, Cubs 4,320.
So if baseball is a game of inches, then the Cubs lost by 38,880.
And everybody can just kiss my ass.
Sorry, not in the best mood right now, but...
HOW CAN THIS TEAM BE SO FREAKING HORRIBLE?
HOW MANY TIMES THIS SEASON WILL ANOTHER GAME DEFINE THE WORD "SUCK"?
WHY. DO. I. HAVE. TO. BE . MISTER. PINK?
I just decided that I'm going to take a couple days off.
See the country.
Learn to play the banjo.
Something.
See you after this series, I think.
