Hey, you. Yeah, you. The one who's reading this. Congratulations. You, along with everyone else who comments on and participates in this website, are the subject of Batigol Weekly, because you're really great. Would it not prove prohibitively expensive and complicated, I'd mail all yall a cupcake.
"The Tito," you may be asking, "is usually sort of grouchy. Why this sudden fondness? Is it a trap? It's a trap, isn't it?" But rest easy, because this isn't a trap (and if it were, I probably wouldn't admit it because that would defeat the purpose entirely). I'm just genuinely happy that everyone on here is cool enough to take it easy after a tough loss instead of going into full rage-ogre mode, and that the comment sections never devolve into something like this.
Even after a super-frustrating loss, everyone has been remarkably clearheaded and even about everything, which is a pleasant reminder of why this blog is so great. It's yall. So pat yourselves on the back, or buy yourselves a beer, or do something to congratulate yourselves, because I have witnessed the wailing and gnashing of teeth that usually accompanies a loss like this, and there's really none of it. So yeah, great job, everyone. Nice job not burning down the blog or rioting or making blood sacrifices to Yuth-Sohoth.
And Fiorentina is still at the top of the table, so there's that, too.
