Pitching Change

Mr. Torre is calling for the right-hander

I don't have it tonight.

I gave it my best but my fastball has even less than usual.

Of course, nothing minus nothing still equals nothing.

A curve? Slider? Cutter?

Screwball?

Nope. I've got nothing.

I tried to fight my way through and not let the team down.

You know, be a grinder.

But I gave it all and I'm just fried.

The crowd sees it.

The coaching staff sees it.

The manager sees it.

So, it's time to give the ball to the bullpen.

Although, here, that means things just end.

So, the world wins this one in the game of life.

We'll try it again tomorrow.
