Two Lads - The Ian and Daniel Chronicle

Embattled

As I was dropping Daniel off for a baseball game last month, he mentioned the opposing team in a beautiful way: he said his team would be "battling" the Orioles.  Ian quickly corrected the terminology in favor of something official and sportsy, but I really think Daniel had it right the first time around:  his team, the Cardinals, were  precisely battling the Orioles.  Anything even slightly watered down fails to do justice to the sensibilities of any red-blooded American baseball-playing boy.
