fun losses

the two friday night teams played rather poorly... i played third base for the first team because we were short players and the other team shored 9 runs along the way and we were hitting very poorly... in the last inning a bit of a rally got us to 7 runs, but we fell short with the go ahead runs on base because the team has two relatively automatic outs and one of them got up with two outs and made the last out of the game, end of rally... the second game started out wild with us scoring 11 runs in the first and we started taking it easy, but then the other team scored 13 runs in the bottom of the first because nobody seemed to be able to catch the ball... we'd have gotten out of the inning ahead 11-0 but two fly balls to left bounced out of the left fielder's glove a nobody seemed to be able to field ground balls and the errors just piled up to give the other team all those runs... that continued throughout the game with at least 20 errors by us in the game, probably more... on one play i threw home to get an out on a force play and the ball went into the catcher's glove and bounced right out... another play i threw to first and the first baseman missed the ball... we never played so poorly before in the field... and the final score was 25-23 with us leaving the go ahead runs on the bases in the last inning... personally, both were good games for me as i went 6 for 7 overall and the one out was a fielder's choice that scored a run... i scored five times and knocked in at least seven runs, but alas, we still lost... next week we are off and the week after starts the playoffs... hopefully we will play a lot better in the field then... still, we had fun somehow...

i don't expect the first team to win, but the second team was undefeated going into this game and should have easily won if at least a few balls were caught... fans can come down to ft lauderdale next weekend where the sunday morning team will be playing in a weekend tournament... we'll be staying at the westin... gotta book the room for me and jackson now, hope you are enjoying your night...

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 :)
