When your club is 79-82, the best thing about the next-to-last game of the season is you get to use the world “penultimate.”
Penultimate, penultimate, penultimate.
My gosh, that’s a fun word to say. Say it with me: Penultimate!
The second best thing about the penultimate game of the season is the realization that you only have one more game to listen to DeWayne and BA ramble on and on (and on, and ooooonnnnnn) about “two-strike approach” before a blessed and sorely needed five month break.
The third best thing about this particular penultimate game is, the Rays beat the Orioles, moving a game closer to clinching an almost-not-losing record.
