I had been waiting for MLBTV to cut to the game as they had been promising all evening (Steven Strasburg rumors kept interfering). They tuned in just in time for the double. It felt right, as if it were the Fates reminding me that my reward for believing in a two-game winning streak against a bad Pirates team should be a kick to the crotch of my fandom, cuz what the hell was I thinking by getting my hopes up anyway. By the time Blanks's homer went ailing over the fence, I was resolved that I--alone in my dark, dog-smelling basement with bags under my eyes--was getting my just desserts.
