I am unemployed and it sucks. Yes, I work here, at Over the Monster, but this doesn’t pay the bills. As a result of that, and of being a half-custody dad, I don’t have as much free time as I’d like, so it wasn’t until Sunday afternoon that I got to take in my first full baseball game of 2023: Nicaragua vs. Israel in the World Baseball Classic.
What a game! It finished 3-1 and was wonderful from start to finish: low stakes done perfectly, the platonic ideal of a small-time sporting event, all that jazz.
