We're a team of routine, and when we don't do that we don't play well.

We always used to play together and stuff, but started having a routine when I was in first grade.

We could have made a routine play on a foul ball and been out of the inning and the next batter up hits a grand slam.

You really start forming a new routine. You're up with the sun because you have to fire up the generator, and you're in bed with the sunset.

But the grind has begun. The windows don’t open, and even the availability of near-constant jokes about Jews and Mormons fails to stem the tide of frustration, decay. We’ve reached the end of pure inspiration, and are now somewhere else, something implying routine, or doing something because people expect us to do it, going somewhere each day because we went there the day before, saying things because we have said them before, and this seems like the work of a different sort of animal, contrary to our plan, and this is very very bad.

I guess we didn't make the routine play. It's a shame, we played a decent game. We're still making too many mistakes out there defensively.
