With Days Like These...

This is it--the worst sort of waiting.


This is the day you spend doing nothing but waiting. You can go and analyze and re-analyze everything that's happened, but there's still at least a game left to play.

This is the day where part of you hopes for a miracle, part of you is rational and says, yes, this, this and this is why we can do it...and part of you is filled with some sort of dread. What if...

This is the day where you can try to get something done, something important, perhaps, like a paper or presentation, but your mind keeps wandering back to the beginning.

This is the day where you spend the entire thing just waiting for the day to end

This is the day where you can't watch the other baseball games, because you'll only be able to think about one thing.

This is the day where even college football doesn't seem to fill the void.

This is the day you spend running on hope, on faith, on the belief that better things will come.


At least, we're not alone. Cubs, Phillies and Angels fans all have to or did go through the same thing.


This day won't last forever. We'll play again soon enough.
