Look, we all get busy. Maybe you were too busy practicing your own killer swing (because let's be honest, everyone secretly thinks they're a baseball prodigy). Or perhaps you were waylaid by a particularly dramatic episode of your favorite reality show (no judgement here). Whatever the reason, fret not! The beauty of baseball is that it's a marathon, not a sprint. There are plenty of games left to catch the Royals dominate... or, you know, participate in some questionable calls by the home ump (we've all been there, umps).
