Another week, another chance to add to my loser files. If you didn’t know, when you’re a budding journalist they usually don’t let you interview the winning team. If you’re lucky enough to get in the game at all, your job is to talk to the losers. I’ve quite enjoyed …
This week, Dave Roberts — Dodgers manager— called me young lady. I was checking my Instagram waiting for him to speak to reporters before a Dodgers vs Nationals game, and he came out and ran into me. As I said, I was doing important things like checking my Instagram — …
I’m becoming an expert at losers. Aside from having lost at many things myself — I am terrible at card games and, moreover, have met with more failure than success in not only dating but also my career — I now talk to people who have lost as my profession. …
