I did debate it, but I’m already one episode in the red and didn’t want to build up a backlog. Not sure it would have helped me here.

Was nice to have La Fenice come up, I’ve been there!

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

I remember years ago calling them woodlice in front of Shauna, who was somewhat incredulous.

When I asked her what she called them, she dead ass replied β€œroly polies”
