Weeks like last week can be exhausting. You start off on a high, watch it dissolve into pits of despair. When the A’s lose their second game in four days by giving up 11, you start wondering why you even watch baseball. Maybe you should go outside more. Maybe you’ll go get some corn and steaks and start grilling again. Maybe, instead of watching the A’s get destroyed, you’ll devote that time to something else. Reading, chess, Netflix... banjo...
That’s when they get you. Just when you’re trying to remember which grocery stores always have the best deals on meat, the A’s are beating up on the Rangers again.
