Especially when you only get one hit. Pete's pretty good and occasionally you hear someone saying "he's knocked it for six", but that's borrowing terminology from cricket. In this sport, you really can't hit a six-run homer.
At least not now. For all I know, Manly Rob Manfred is working on fixing that.
Gary Cohen called the San Diego series "an ignominious ending" on the postgame, while the ex-jocks (Zeile, Blevins) were trying to blow smoke up their brethren's patooties.
(Going on about how it 'hurts' to lose, whether it's in the World Series or now, don't blame the players, they did their best, it just wasn't meant to be, yada-yada.
Oh, yeah? Ask
Bru if it makes a difference if the Yanks make it to the Series or suffer yet another early-round knockout. Sheesh.)
Good on Gary for calling out this nonsense. (Gary Apple was also all "you gotta be [you-know-what]ting me." The Mets are strong in Garys.). If you think you can win it all and you can't do anything of note after September 1, that's Flop City. Idgaf how much it "hurts", jocksniffers. Good Lorde.
