My favorite part of Mitch’s three-run moonshot? Yasiel Puig standing dead still and watching it sail into orbit. I feel you, Yasiel; no sense running into the wall for that one.
I suffer from impulse control. It causes me to sometimes say things I shouldn’t. Things like “It is exactly because of how good this team is, and how much fun they are to watch, that I want this postseason to last as long as possible.”
That was something an impulsive and arrogant me — we’ll call him “Old Me” — wrote and published just before the start of an 18-inning, seven-plus-hour game that ended at 3:30 this morning and left me in a crumpled heap.
