Schadenfreude Anonymous

Hi, I’m Jonathan, and I have a problem.
(Hi Jonathan.)
I’m a drama queen. I need the added pressure. I love it. I thrive on it. Closing out a baseball game just isn’t enough for me anymore. That became too easy. So now I screw things up a bit just to make everybody worry. The team hands me a two run lead and a five-game losing streak, and instead of just getting three straight outs I give up two singles to start the 9th. Then, when I know everybody is squirming, I get an out. But suddenly, with one out, this doesn’t seem so hard anymore, so I walk another batter. Woah, bases loaded, tying run on second, ok, now I’ve got the juices flowing. So I strike out the next batter. Two outs and the bases loaded doesn’t seem so tough so I go to to a full count for fun. And then, with everybody in the stadium about to have a heart-attack, then I close out the game.
Oh, who am I kidding? I’ll just keep doing this all season. See you guys, thanks for the coffee!



Finally a win last night!
