That's why Troy and Gabriella got the part in the High School Musical

The East High Wildcats led by Gabriella Montez won the 10th annual city Academic competition

Gotta keep your head in the game

We're all in this together

How can you forget the outs? Try giving the count after each pitch and repeat the number of outs. It's really not that much to remember and you have your indicator to use.....

It boils down to the umpire not keeping their head in the game.

Do you also walk on water, force demons out of man and, into the swine and give the blind sight?

Everyone loses track at sometime or another.

Yes I do! I also raise the dead and turn water into wine. But I don't think that I can teach you how to read. I didn't say that I never lose track of the count, I said that I can't remember the last time that it happened.

Why does it bother you that I have devloped a habit which helps me not forget the count? Whether you believe (or not) that it has been a very long time since I have lost track of the count or outs doesn't make it any less true. Sorry that my efficiency upsets you.
