One Man Mechanics

[amusedofficial]

I think coaches know that nobody does a one-man game out of choice. I also think they spend the first half exploiting their "understanding" and expect the second half to be some sort of festival of appreciation for their first-half behavior. Screw that.

More than ever, one-man means take care of business, early and often. It's too easy for things to get out of control as the game grows older and more competitive.

You could say that again.

Actually quite common here in my little corner of Connecticut. Even with unemployment hovering around 9%, we simply don't have enough available officials to cover those 3:30 p.m. middle school games, and those 4:00 p.m. high school freshman games.

I'm actually looking forward to several years from now, when I retire from the wonderful world of chemistry, to be able to work those games, if my health allows me the privilege.
