At least try

As a person suffering with a toothache complains, knowing the moans will not alleviate the pain, so I write. Dangling between the infinity of aspirations and the finitude of possibility, today I am oppressed by inexplicable worldly ennui. Acutely. The early games ran right into the afternoon games, which will run without interruption, into the evening games. Why be blue? Take the bat off your shoulder, even if only to bunt. Just make contact and put the ball into play. And if you don't make contact, maybe the catcher will drop strike three. Then you can run, at least.
