Cruz with his first big league home run. He managed three hits in nine at bats. He got a little sample of what it’s like in the majors so let’s hope he runs with that next year.

Cruz went down to get that pitch and was almost kneeling when he hit it.

Ponce ends the season 0-6 with a 7.04 ERA.

Even his mother wants him released.

She's probably a better pitcher. ;D

That goes without saying.

It's always so bittersweet going to the last home game of the year. The final song they play, and when all the music and announcements are done, being politely asked to go home.



I'm thankful we finally were allowed to attend games. The best part about going to a game is, no matter how good or how bad your team is, that game that day or night, is a season unto itself. All the other games that are in the books, and the ones remaining on the schedule, are immaterial. They have no bearing on today. Neither do the standings. Neither do all the what if's and shoulda woulda couldas. Yesterday's star or goat, can be the opposite one tonight.



Tonight's starter with that 6 plus ERA, has a completely clean slate at the start of the game. It could be the greatest night of their career, and you get to share in it. That player who you find out was demoted or released the next day, might have had his finest moment in uniform, and you were there to share it.



You might see something you've never seen before, and maybe never will again. You get to let yourself be absorbed into the game, you get to feel the sun, you get feel the night chill in a way you just don't get watching the game on television, or listening on the radio.



Some games the crowd is really into the game, and the atmosphere is electric. Some games, it seems almost funerial. But it's always a unique experience each and every time you go.



You don't get to choose who the players are, who will be the coaches, the management team, nor the ownership. You only get to choose the team you want to devote your heart.



We don't win the games. We don't lose the games. But somehow, we're part of the games.



And that's why I keep going.



Here's to 2022.



Let's Go Bucs!!!!

Nice sentiments, Surge. For me, there’s nothing like going to a major league baseball game. It’s way better than any other sport.

It's really hard to believe- not one sweep
