Little League Game

Pica and Donna discuss the unexpected success of the Detroit Tigers this year My friend Donna invited us along to see one of the Little League playoff games this week. Her husband coaches the Texas Rangers. They started off pitching well but were let down by fielding errors. We left when the score was 15-2 or something dreadful…

The talent in these teams is quite uneven and I think the challenge is to raise the general level of skill but not lose heart when every single infielder pulls a Bill Buckner through-the-legs routine. Unfortunately that’s very, very difficult.

Helps when you have Indian takeout, though. (And yes, that is a Pawtucket Red Sox cap in her hand.)
