GOD, I LOVE MY JOB!!! (Or, Happiness is Lubbock, Texas, in my rear-view mirror)

Makes you pine for the days of the 45-minute girls slowpitch softball game, doesn't it?

 

Mr Waller,

You deserve an award. The Red Smith wouldn't do you justice.

Mr Waller, in recognition of your writing an epic high school gamer under immense pressure in unbearable conditions while being short-changed on mileage, we are pleased to announced that you are the first-ever recipient of "The Butchie."

YHS, etc

 

Someone told me Lubbock was like the test kitchen of American restaurant chains, that most of them have a franchise there to experiment with menu additions/changes. True dat?

I like how that one Louisville game was 1-0 after the first inning.

 

Best thing about baseball (and softball) boxes is that they don't take long to take. Had this been a football game ...

 

Basketball for us is better. Just the score by quarters and everyone who scored. Quick and easy. We don't do a full box with rebounds, 3-pointers, etc. for preps.

 

I trust this was more to Mr. Waller's liking, although I'm not sure the location is an improvement
