Softball: A Brief Confessional on the Question of Leadership
Dear People,
Jim McGuire's team outslugged my own in a bitterly waged pitcher's duel, 28-22, and once again, it all came down to a disturbing cleavage in the inspirational tenor of our respective captainships. Jimmy (or, as he's affectionately known in his official professorial capacities-'Jimmy'), went five for six on three blistering homeruns and two doubles, and in so doing, he had a dispositive quarter of his contingent's deeply savored RBIs. In other words, this power-batting herpetologist-extraordinaire is also galvanization personified, and if that does not a renaissance athlete make, then I don't know what.
I, on the other hand, could barely scrape together a couple pissant singles, and more importantly, the ceaseless 'Ray-shift' to left that every defense now torments me with is beginning to take its toll. Indeed, it not only stings to the marrow of my tender little ego, but it clearly reminds my weekly ever-changing cast of inevitably dispirited peeps that at its essence, my managerial status is rooted not in a legacy of athletic excellence, but rather in nothing more than the cloying sweet-talk and tawdry connections that have always characterized base political corruption. Still, it's all copacetic because I happen to relish the titillating buzz of pure unmerited authority, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond
