One Of Those Nights

I was watching the 10 o'clock news tonight. The newscaster is a solid veteran, a gifted professional who could work anywhere he wanted to. The sportscasters are not as skilled. They are hard for me to watch. In fact, I don't very often. On this night, there was a glitch with every story in their segment. It was bad enough that I might have scrapped all of the video and just read the script. If he needs an audition tape this is not the night he will choose. On a night like that, you just have to keep working through whatever is going on. Just get through it and start over tomorrow. A couple of nights ago, the New York Yankees hit three grand slam home runs in one game against the Oakland Athletics. Baseball teams play a 162-game schedule, so there will be days like the Oakland Athletics had. Like the television reporters, the A's response should be to put the bad day out of their minds, regroup and go back to work tomorrow.
