[i:0f1e2ad58a]DON'T [/i:0f1e2ad58a]fix it. Had a team on fire out of the gates sporting a nice 26-13 record. Two nights ago I decided I needed to fine-tune it so I gave it a tweak and moved my #3 hitter to #4 and vice versa.

Since then I've gone 0-6. The last 3-game sweep was in my home ballpark vs a team that was 11-31 before our series.

I changed everything back this morning but I wonder if the damage has already been done? I've probably screwed the pooch.

'Scuza me, por favor - but I am from the old country.

Vhat does this mean exactly......."screwed the pooch?"

It means I messed up. Team went 1 for 3 last night as well.

Man, I know that - just yanking on the chain.

Wonder where the heck that phrase came from or originated?

There's so many phrases or sayings like that in the English or American version of english language that the foreigners learning the language have to scratch their head and say ???????
