The Pitch


Do not despair Nats fans. They play 162 games each year, these days. (In my youth it was only 154.)

The everyday players are showing that they are competitive. The problem is pitching and, as in sales, it is always about pitching. A great mathematician, Lawrence Peter Berra, once said "Pitching is ninety percent of the game and the other half is hitting, catching and fielding."

Yogi was right,as usual, though the numbers don't add up correctly. What is also right is that this company and its products have to be pitched by all of us or we might as well be sitting "on the bench." You've got to be in the game to accomplish anything.

As the man says "not a sermon, just a thought."
