Ok, ok! I've done the stats. I've been busy, what with memorizing my lines, building sets, rehearsing and so forth.
There's been a couple of games. Some people drove in runs and won games. Others allowed runs to score and lost. These things happen all the time. Timeless ebb and flow of the game, yadda yadda.
Curious question arose during the game on September 29th. After the fifth inning of play, it seemed that the game was over as Matt had to leave in 15 minutes, and there wasn't time for another inning. Hands were shook.
But Matt offered to pitch a few and invited all who to take a crack in the box. And as it turned out he pitched a fairly brisk, scoreless inning. So Glen hustled back to the dugout and he and Matt proceeded to put up 7 runs on Hansoo to cap off the greatest comeback in wiffle history. Except that no one was writing these down on the scoresheet. So none of it counted.
So the question is, "When does a wiffle game end?"
When you stop keeping score.

i think the game is over when everyone says "okay, we're done." which we did. and the observed that what occurred henceforth was for the exhibitionists.
ReplyDeletethe score-keeping criterion is a bad one, for that would imply that whole years of games were some sort of dallas-like dream, as well as a number of excellent tilts this year.
fuck bobby ewing.
why is there a wiffle ball game, rather than no wiffle ball game? in a standard multiverse model there would be an endless number of possible statistics, reflecting an endless number of possible games. some games might end, others not. in some brent would be leading the league in pitching and eldridge would be using the "alternative" mound.
