Sometimes I have trouble interpreting what you, Americans, mean. I Know the english words, but you're not using
the Queens English

That must be a great sound! You know who your friends are!
If they're waiting for the final out, do they enter afterwards the field to call another game? I just can't imagine that they will work a game after drinking a cold one...

Although PU and BU are equal (different from that in the other small-ball sport...), we're holding PU responceble. He's the one who can make or brake the pitcher, he can force the batter to swing or allow her to wait for a walk. PU is buying.
But if BU makes a (final) out on the tie-breaking runner, he can be forced to pay his share...
