Friday's Game in a Word

Shoot.

No, not with a gun. More like the way Gary Cooper would say "Shoot" in Meet John Doe or Sgt. York.

This is how I think a dialogue between John (Cooper) and The Colonel (Walter Brennan) about tonight's 3-2 loss to the Cougars would have gone in Meet John Doe.


The Colonel: [glances up from the morning paper]: The Rattlers lost 3-2 last night, John.

John: Oh? Who did they lose to, Colonel?

The Colonel: Says here, Kane County? Says here, the Rattlers led 1-0. It also says here that a Cougar hit a homer in the sixth and they scored another run in the seventh.

John: How did Wisconsin come back, Colonel?

The Colonel: Well, it says here that they got a run in the eighth and had the tying and go ahead runs on base, but they couldn't score.

John: Shoot.

The Colonel: My thoughts exactly, John.

Complete box score HERE.
