Every once and a while, I actually get to watch my players play. Last night was an example.
Cleveland was playing Detroit on the Sunday Game of the Week on ESPN and my newest player, Tribe pitcher Fausto Carmona, went a strong seven. Then, in the ninth, my closer comes in the game, Joe Borowski. Then I realize if he blows the game and the slim 5-3 lead, I not only get minus five points (or more) for the loss, but also Carmona loses the + 10 points for his win! A total of minus 15 potential! That’s a lot on the line. I actually became nervous. But Borowski held his own, and the game, and the Scorpions got 17 points for Carmona’s and Borowski’s efforts.
Even a mediocre season has it’s great moments … however little they may last.
