patterns

after taking a 13-1 lead in three innings, we made enough errors and misplays to give up the maximum seven runs in the next two innings and laid down to lose 15-13... the team just suddenly seemed beaten and lost after giving up seven runs on poor field play and suddenly could not hit after creaming the ball in the first three innings even though we were still up 13-8... i never got to get up to bat again, everybody just made outs... i didn't pitch, i played third, though i only had one ball hit to me and lost that in the lights to let the batter reach first... so once again i stood there feeling helpless as the team fell apart around me... i was in the on-deck circle when the last out was made... alas, dreams shattered, hopes dashed, much laughter somewhere in the world where the one awaits... you wouldn't believe the party in my head in spite of it all... oh, but if only you truly would believe... just keep swimming :)

and there's another game thursday... still fun fun fun :)
