Last night Travalon and I went with a bunch of my coworkers
to a Mallards game. We had great tickets, so we got to sit right behind home
plate, eat as many burgers and brats as we wanted, and drink three beers.
Believe me, I needed those beers because while the weather was perfect, the
Mallards were about as far from perfect as a ball team can get. I have seen
them win and I have seen them lose, but I have never seen them totally
destroyed like that before. Their defensive playing stank, they couldn’t hit
anything (seriously, about the only guys who got on base were the ones walked
by the other team’s pitcher), and their pitching wasn’t anything too wonderful
either. In the end they lost 12-0. Apparently they lost the night before to a
new team called the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (Travalon loves that name!), but
it was a reasonable score, like 5-2. We have been spoiled because the Mallards
are always good enough to get into the playoffs, so maybe we were due for a bad
season. But a terrible season? Hopefully they don’t have another game like the
one last night! Otherwise, we had a lot of fun.
