Life is full of drama, and you have to take that seriously, but sometimes you just need a little break from that with a fun 11-1 comedic romp. Here is, as I remember it, a basic summary of what happened on the Twelfth Night (a/k/a Tenth Game) of the Oakland A’s season:

There are these infielders, Matt Chapman and Matt Olson, and nobody can tell them apart, even though one is right-handed and the other is left-handed, because, you know, they’re both named Matt, and they end up shipwrecked and separated in this town full of Mariners called Seattle, and they both think the other is dead, and they go and have a bunch of interactions with various characters in this town, and sometimes these characters think they’re interacting with one Matt, while they’re really interacting with the other Matt, and all sorts of hilarious mixups ensue, but it all turns out happy in the end. Oh, and Ramon Laureano wears big yellow socks for some reason.

Matt and Matt are the lead characters in the show, and they are therefore considered the big stars. But really, the juiciest role is Ramon Laureano. Just imagine if you had the legs to pull off big yellow socks, and an arm to die for to boot, people are going to remember you when they go home more than boring old Matt and Matt. But what nobody knows is that you’re also an excellent swordsman, although nobody seems to even notice that, because of the yellow socks and all. You just can’t get any love. But you’re the best, Ramon Laureano. Really, you are.

Ha ha ha, what a great show that was!
