There are 11 games left in the season. That’s it. After 151 games we find ourselves here on the brink of the end, wondering what will happen in these final 11 games. Will your team choose to give it all they’ve got these last 11 games? Or will they just go through the motions? The rain has set in the PNW and it seems to be affecting even our teams. No one can escape the melancholic nature of rain.
The Wolverines had to have an intervention with their owner, and he has since changed his tone. I’m not sure it has helped them relax while on the diamond. The Tornadoes are dropping like flies, no matter how much I encourage them. The Rosebud pitchers aren’t sure they care much about winning another title. It seems like everyone has given up, even though there are things at stake! It must be September…
