I’m in last place in my head-to-head keeper league. This shouldn’t be funny in of itself, but I thought I had a decent team. I thought wrong.
Talking to the league commissioner, who also happens to be the proprietor of this fine establishment, we were talking about my number three pitcher and trying to come up [...]
