the St. Louis Cardinals
are murdering the Atlanta Braves
at the moment
it’s the bottom of the 7th and
the Braves are losing 9 to 1
my father absolutely loved the Braves
I’ve been to several games
with him throughout the years
the last trip stands out immensely
it was a year before his death
the cancer had come back with a vengeance
he wanted to stay healthy as long as
possible and not have the chemo kill him
despite his shortness of breath
and my multiple suggestions to turn back
he made it to the top of Stone Mountain
one last time
it seems somewhat poignant
watching the Braves
get annihilated on Father’s Day
to see how one reacts to adversity
and overcomes challenges
in the face of utter darkness
is inspiring and devastating
all at the same time
the game ended after the third out
it’s a new rule this year
double-header games are limited
to 7 innings each
I was unaware of this until now
you just never know when the end will be
Gloomy Forebodings
