Bruised and battered but we still have a chance

Lets say you are standing out in the left field common area at a Major league baseball game. Lets also say a player is on the verge of Hitting his 74th Home Run of the season. You have your ball glove on, and you are just hoping beyond hope that when it flies out there towards you, that you are the lucky one to catch it. That ball may be worth a million dollars.

-

Obviously you are not the only one with that ideal though. There are many others also in the same area with their ball glove on, and they want that Million dollar ball as well.

-

As the player hits his shot, you see it coming your way but the guy next to you puts the pointy end of his Elbow in your Eye Socket with some serious velocity. (That would be Alabama knocking you down.) It hurt allot, but you get up from it as the ball is still sailing towards your general area, and you try to position yourself again. Just as you get up though, another dude wearing an ugly looking yellowish ball cap just clobbers you in your Jaw with a right cross, also knocking you down on the ground. (that would be LSU)

-

This ball though, was hit really high in the air, and you have time to get up a third time to try to position yourself to catch this Million dollar ball. You are still in pain from the elbow thing and the Right cross thing, but even with all that, you never suspect that the little fourteen year old boy is going to kick you in the nuts knocking you down once more (that would be Mississippi State)

-

You get up again, and now you see that although the ball has landed, no one caught it, and it is rolling around on the ground. Incredibly, even after getting your Eye Socket jammed up and your jaw busted. and your Balls are bruised from the kick you took from the fourteen year old. (He really doesn't have a chance to get the ball anyways, but he still felt like kicking you in the balls for the hell of it) you feel like you still have to dive into the scrum to try to come up with that ball.

-

I will end the story here. That's where we are at. We have had our ass kicked by two dudes that also want that million dollar ball, plus a little kid who will have no chance of getting it, but enjoyed punching us in the balls anyway. The ball is laying there for the taking and we are actually in a good position to dive on it. We are still clueless about the other people that are vying for the thing as well though. Pretty sure there is a dude with as good an angle to dive on that ball as we have, and that dude seems like he is more capable than us. (bigger, stronger with better coaching and the scent of Lattimore on his person) nonetheless, that million dollar ball is right there just rolling around and available for us to get. --- God help us.
