Softball: A Tactically Dicey Approach to Transformative Self-Improvement

Dear People,

Chris Fure's team floundered about like a drunken beached sturgeon for most of the game, until they suddenly exploded in the 8th with a sublime 9-hit 5-run rally that left my side battered, bruised and utterly waylaid by the starkly capricious nature of life's aerobic pageant. In other words, my team lost, 10-6. Beyond that, I actually don't recall much about the events of the day, though I'm pretty sure I went hitless for the third time in six games. If true, this means that I was not only an onerous suck-weight for my own side, but even worse, it would suggest that I'm now at grave risk of falling back into my pesky 23-year batting slump.

Frankly, I'm a bit chagrined by the fungal-like resilience of my general ineptitude, and am thus considering a rigorous regime of pre-game batting practice. In fact I may hire a personal batting coach, or perhaps a life coach, or maybe even try some anabolic steroidal deodorant, or as a last resort, jump-start my hitting with an additional $500 billion in stimulative deficit spending. The point is that I may never know the ultimate origins of the multiverse or how to extract ourselves from this piss-ant liquidity trap that's hosing the economy, but if there's one thing I do know, it's that I will no longer disgrace both you and yours by my mere presence at the plate. And therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Ray
