They actually DID used to be called “muffins” for exactly that reason, back in the 1860s. The gentlemen’s baseball clubs of the 1860s were divided into squads. The best squad was the “first nine”; the second best was the “second nine”; and the weakest was the “muffin nine.” Games between weak squads were “muffin games.” They’re mentioned in the sports press of the era, but they don’t get much attention.
New story Big Nate and the world of light part one. Our hero’s were taking a hike to a cliff and then… Francis:WHT IS THAT!!?!???? Teddy:Don’t let a single one get away. Randy: We each need to take down atleast 3 DeeDee: show your fear it’s now or never. Italian kid: We will win this. Francis : Wait the heck is that dumb thing doing. Nate: Oh Sh.

Just finished half of a chocolate “muffin” as part of my good breakfast. I can’t eat a whole one and still move. Maybe that’s their problem.
