And So It Ends.

 

Most of the Hurtin' Units followers probably won't care about what I'm going to say today. Since May 30^th, when the Units played the Tap Masters and lost 14-13, I (Jimmer) have been on a 19-game winless streak. I have played (and lost) 13 games with the Units in the regular season, 3 games in the HTKP tournament (and lost) and I have subbed for the Dogcatchers, Draft Kings and the Beer Bros all suffering losses when I was in their lineups.

To go winless in 19 games is crazy, it doesn't just play on your mind in baseball, it seems to creep into other areas too. I don't even want to buy a lottery ticket or play cornhole because I think I can't win. I'm joking a little bit here, but I think most people agree that not having at least 1 win over that stretch is a little bit strange. Roman jokingly said to me that I sold my soul to the devil, in return for a Hurtin' Units championship last season. I can honestly say that did not happen, but it is kind of funny that I don't mind the heat, I recently found horns growing on my head and I now have a pointed tail.

So, why do this post? I am happy to announce that Wednesday evening, in the rain, with the Shades of Gray Baseball Club, I pitched and came away with my first win since May 30^th. The final score was 24-3 for the Shades. Some may say there should be an asterisk beside the win because it was the 55+ league, but I say a win is a win, is a win. And So It Ends... A heavy weight has been lifted, the monkey is off my back and the losing streak is officially over. Let a new streak begin... hopefully it will win.
