I am so sorry but there will be no special discount today. We won the game with a two out rally in the bottom of the last inning and, way less importantly, Coach Indy and I crushed the cycle. I’m pretty sure Coach Indy had the game winning RBI too.
Please note, we didn’t really win the game with a two out rally in the bottom of the last inning but we thought it was the bottom of the last inning because the games are timed and we were in the bottom of the sixth and time had run out so we were playing as if there would be no seventh inning and technically there should have been no seventh inning but there was.
You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!
