That's Gobbler for ya. Just as the Herd was poising up for a victory, Gobbler creates an error to set up the comeback for the opposition.
"Hey, it was not that bad of a throw....it could have been caught....I ain't taking all the heat for the loss!" barked a disappointed Gobbler.
Rumours around the Horn are that the lack of play as of late left the entire team knocking rust off the gloves and bats...
"I am disappointed in myself as well" noted Casual. "We've never been knocked out this early in any tournament. I will sit down with Summer and review the past weekend and see if this ship can be righted".
Summer was spotted watching the game from the Bunker atop the Buhler concession and did not utter a word after the loss....he just shook his head.
One thing the Herd does well is not dwell on the past, so off to another week of incredible ball by the hottest team in the 'Peg (and they can play too!)
We'll keep this blog short.....
(PS..we still love you Gobbler...honest we really do!)

I think that the story behind the story is that perhaps some of the veterans that were a little long in the tooth could have been relieved earlier. Summer should have been called to come in fresh as a Daisey and pull the game out of the fire! I remember back in '73 when a young Summer did exactly that for a struggling Yankees franchise.
Except that Summer was watching soccer or doing yard work or something. WTF?????
From the Bunker?
King said it best....
