Sounds about right.

You have to admit, though, the whole damn thing was pretty cool. Yes, yes, yes, very unruly, horribly immature, caveat caveat, blah blah blah… it was still awesome. So there.

I’ll give that win to you, and you knew exactly what you were doing. You made excellent use of Joe McCarthy’s advice, “Never be in a hurry to lose a ballgame.” There was no question the intent was to ice Danks, and it worked.

Fortunately, even some idiot fans couldn’t endanger the strategy. I don’t understand why Ozzie Guillen didn’t demand 8 warmup tosses after the delay. He got out-foxed in that one.
