Friday Nights are not the same

That's what Eddie says every Friday night. It's been this way for almost 2 months. Why you ask? His buddy Brian left him. He packed his bags, packed up his family and left him.....and the team. Eddie plays softball on Friday nights. He plays with a great group of guys. They have a lot of fun together. The problem is Brian is gone. They knew it was coming but were hoping it would fall thru. Brian and his family moved back to their hometown near Kansas City Missouri. Brian played left center field, they could almost always count on him for a homerun, and a beer after the game. Eddie says it's not the same you don't hear Brian yelling from the outfield when an awesome play is made. You don't hear him yelling at "Dickie". Granted they picked up 2 very good players to fill his shoes but it's still not the same....it's not Brian. Eddie texts him every Friday to let him know what time the game is and on what field. He can't not do it.....his buddy is gone. Maybe just maybe they'll be lucky enough to get another game in with him....when he comes back to visit.....but until then Friday nights are just not the same.......
