Sometimes You Just Can’t Win
I’ve often watched John Webb (my stepson) pitch a very good game only to lose either because the other team’s pitcher was also pitching a good game or because the bats on his team just didn’t come to life.
Well, it happens to the best of them. The Angels lost yesterday, 1-0, despite pitching 8 hitless innings. The one run scored on an error. There isn’t even the consolation of having the game go into the books as a no-hitter, as they didn’t have to pitch the bottom of the ninth, and thus it’s not a full game.
Hate it when that happens!
