careful letting the other team score

so we are ahead 11-0 and completely controlling the game and the other team is coming up in the fifth inning and my team wants to play another inning so they tell me to pitch easy so the other team can hit and they (my team) can actually field (i was striking out more than half the batters on other team through four innings and they were hitting weak pop-ups and weak grounders when they did hit), so i pitched batting practice lobs and they let grounders go through the infield and they got runners on and i walked a girl who would have struck out again it i threw strikes and we gave up three runs (cuz if we were ahead by 10 after five the game would be over) and then a few errors happened and we suddenly gave up seven and i clamped down and got the three outs...

the next inning we went down one two three... so much for giving the other team runs to be able to hit one more inning, but meanwhile, they get up again for their last inning and their best hitters are up and they are psyched so they score another couple of runs but i was able to get them out and we won 11-10... and after the inning at least one of my team said i should have let them get one more run so we could have gotten up again... laughing, i said nobody said that to me on the field... they are such a cocky bunch... hopefully they will finally bring it when it matters in the playoffs cuz we haven't won the chamionship in this league yet and each my teams in every other league have at least one championship... cocky seldom works in softball :)

but still, fun fun fun cuz i love the game and playing is more improtant than winning for me, which is why i moved from the level b championship team to a brand new level d team that never played the game before in another league... still wanna play more :)

hope your day was fun too :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
