That's right. The Pope--a huge baseball fan for those who didn't know it--was so pissed that the Cardinals lost to the Chestnut Hill Dodgers in this past Saturday's playoff game, 10-3, that he took back their funny little red hats.
"This, I cannot believe," said the Pope who watched the game in what he calls his "man cave" in the Vatican via satellite feed. "The Dodgers are little boys. We're Cardinals. The Dodgers should be crying like they were after playing the Pirates right now."
I misssed the game. I was at a regatta on the Cooper River and left the team in the hands of the other two able coaches.
I should point out that there are three other coaches.
My anxiety over the D-Boys was finally relieved when D.G. finally responded to texts that just said "Score?" every 20 minutes after the game was over. I was happy about the score, but absolutely bursting with pride over Levi "The Jedi" who, according to D.G.'s message, has gotten rid of his weak, light saber-esque swing so much that he hit the ball into the outfield!
"He said he wished you were there to see," D.G.'s message went on. I gotta tell you, I got a little choked up. But I didn't cry, damnit.
I can't wait to see them Tuesday.
