8th inning, one out
What is it about teams of destiny and one out in the 8th inning? The Cubs have a three run lead over the Marlins going into the 8th inning, then implode. The Red Sox had a 3 run lead heading into the 8th inning, then… Well, I don’t really want to talk about it. There’s…

Which is unfortunate, but also strange. I can understand how people would not accept most of his views, and I’m certainly…
