it's too easy

the cubs have made it way too for the mets through one out in the bottom of the ninth in game four of the national league chamionship series and it is left for the bottom of the lineup to make a stand, to extend the game, to start the rally that is all too easy when it happens cuz all it comes down to is putting the bat on the ball and tapping the ball into gaps between fielders which is all too easy when it is done and a seemingly impossible miracle when it is not done even with two outs in the bottom of the ninth against a reliever who is so hitting his stride cuz as inexperienced as they are the cubs just need to believe in the bat and ball and themselves and it just doesn't seem to be happening for them tonight or in this series and here is the 2-2 pitch and it's 3-2 and the bottom of the ninth remains and the hope remains and there is a walk with a lot of help from two umpires who have been helping the mets so consistently until this bottom of the ninth so one more batter gets up to the plate and if fowler's instincts would not have kicked in it would be first and second but not everyone is rizzo so the rookie nerves betray once again and the two stroke pitch is fouled off (fowler is a fouler) and one more pitch comes down to a possible gift from two umpires and another pitch brings yet another 3-2 count in the bottom of the ninth and this babbling is all that is keeping me from screaming and there is another foul ball (fowler the fouler, please help) and one more pitch comes and there is another foul ball (this is too much a literary joke now) and one more pitch comes and the ump behind the plate decides it's over on a borderline high pitch that no cubs pitcher ever got in this series and that is simply wrong all around and i really did not want to end this series with this obvious truth that wipes the smiles away...

it's too easy when the ump is so inconsistent he appears biased...
