Angels 10, Yankees 3

You’d think as I got older, I’d be more even-keeled, and I wouldn’t take the losses as hard. You’d think. I didn’t take this loss too hard, but I did throw a chair last October, and I killed a coworker on Sunday. Well, maimed. But they’re still in ICU, so let’s not lose hope.

Unfortunately, as I’ve gotten used to the Yankees being the best team in baseball, I’ve gotten less tolerant of failure. It’s a damn shame, too, because I get less enjoyment out of the victories now, too. I wish I could go back to the days when the Yankees sucked, and a three-run homer to win a game in the bottom of the ninth would have me floating for a week. Yeah, cry me a river. It’s like asking to be an awkward teenage virgin again when you’re dating a supermodel.

Not really much can be said about tonight’s game. It was only a matter of time before Mussina pitched a lousy game, at least it was against the Angels and not the Red Sox.

Hey, check it out -- nobody's commented yet! You could be the first to comment on this AWESOME post! Hurry up and think of something to say! And not "First!", or anything like that, because that would be lame, and you'd be lame for doing it. Especially if someone beats you to it.

Well, since you spent so much time reading this, you've probably missed your shot to be first, but go ahead and post anyway. Someone might read it. Not ME, but someone.

Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.

From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.
