On the Mound

Wondering . . .

It’s game four of the series and it’s just too easy to root against my team. Despite the millions of dollars I earn from The Boss, I despise the pinstripes. They represent all that is wrong with the game.

No, I would never tank against my team. I will always play as well as I can. But I can’t help but think it would be best for everyone if we lose tonight. Clevelanders have been waiting since the 1940s. Isn’t that worth something?

Ah, already down 1-0 after the leadoff homer. It’s destiny, I think.

I am the stopper tonight. How long will they keep me out here?

It’s madness and I need help.
