Nonchalanted the game

Once, after muffing a routine fly ball in the outfield in the World Series, Yogi Berra gave this explanation: "I nonchalanted it." He took it for granted - too much so.

I am very much afraid this team is nonchalanting the first halves of ballgames. "We can always come back  in the second half." And, our offense is high-powered enough that most of the time we have been able to do that. But to have games down to the wire with Pine Bluff and Northern Arizona? Come on! Out of 351 Division 1 teams, they are  currently ranked 339th and 346th. Feeding right on the bottom. And we let them make close games of it.
