Mercy Rule

Hey baseball fans,

I took my folding chair out to the balcony about 1.5 hours ago to check out a little of the little league game going on across the way. I have no idea who played, so I'll call them the gray and orange teams.

Guess how many runs the orange team won by?

No, not 3. Not 5. Not even 10.

20 freakin' runs. I shit you not.

The botton half of the fifth inning lasted for at least 45 minutes. The gray team's pitcher REALLY sucked. Plus he had no help from the fielders. I don't think I've seen more runs batted in which resulted from base on balls. The orange team scored 23 runs in the bottom of the fifth.

After the top of the sixth, where the gray team only scored 3 runs, they (thankfully) called the game on a count of the mercy rule.

This is why I couldn't coach little league. I'd turn into Lou Pinella and rase hell all around the base pads.

"But they're only 7 or 8 Coach Nathan!"

"TOO BAD! They're running laps for 2 hours!"

Man, I'm an asshole when I coach.


POA: 67% - That pitcher was hilarious! (And lame)
