Not following Fred. The writer wrote: "We got trimmed in five straight
games, and the vice-president in charge of marketing seemed very much
pleased." The slang is a bit before my time but I read this as the human
player lost five times in a row to the computer. Am I reading it wrong or am
I missing something?
