BUMMED OUT: A 100-WORD STORY

Brett Pivnick was a wee bit peeved, to put it mildly.

He had been called up from the minors in early summer, and his first two months as right fielder for the Astros had gone well.

Better than well. He had been leading the league in RBI’s until last week. That’s when things began to go wrong. Horribly wrong.

Of course it was the drugs. It had to be the drugs. What else could have caused his ass to swell to three times its normal size?

The team medic agreed. “Son, it looks like somebody handed you a Bum Steroid.”
