still 5 out

Dear diary,

What a great day! I didn't pitch so well and gave up a bunch of runs, but luckily my team rallied and scored tons of runs for me so I got a win! It was all thanks to Edgardo Alfonzo and his powerhouse bat, and also some really smart baserunning! It was great! And luckily the umpires made all the right calls. Really, the only negative thing was that I was having a really bad hair day.

OH WAIT. I TOTALLY THOUGHT I WAS WRITING IN MY BIZARRO DIARY JUST NOW. Oops! What REALLY happened is that I pitched six shutout innings, gave up 2 runs in the 7th and took the loss because... guess how many runs we scored? No really diary, guess. No, not one run. ZERO! The Padres lost again to the Rockies so we had a chance to gain ground on them, we were facing a middle reliever making a rare start, the Nationals were resting their entire starting lineup... AND WE DIDN'T SCORE AT ALL. We really made a statement out there. That statement was: "We can't wait to work on our golf game!" I don't even like golf!

There had better be lots of damn Kleenex on the plane, that's all I can say. Not that I'm upset or crying or anything because I know it's just baseball and it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things blah blah I KNOW. I just have a cold...

Love,

Brett
