softball is deja vu all over again

yeah, so we were the 6th seed out of fifteen teams because we won a few of the last games and finished with a 5-3 record... three teams tied for first with undefeated seasons (8-0, 7-0, 7-0)... two teams tied for fourth with 5-2 records... and then us... at the other end of the spectrum, fifteenth place was held by a team without a win (0-6-1)... while fourteenth was 1-7 and thirteenth was 1-6 and twelfth was 2-6... a couple tied for tenth at 2-5, however one is a stacked team that cheats (loaded bats) and they forfeited four games (and lost one to us) for tat 2-5 record so they will run away with the lower bracket, no surprise... anyway, we won... then we sat there watching the potential competition play and enjoying the cooling down of the evening and basking in a wonderful win... or maybe we were too tired to get up and drive home... but basking and cooling too...

anyway, the game... as you may have heard in a previous entry, they broke the fifteen teams up into two playoff brackets, the bottom eight teams and the top seven teams.... so we were the sixth seed out of seven in the upper bracket... we were up against the third seed, undefeated team with a 7-0 record and we won the game 11-3... we gave a few runs on errors early on and that was it, shut them down, really surprising outstanding performance... especially by the pitcher... everybody said so... really, they did... really, the other team has great hitters and in past seasons they have won the championship and we had trouble beating them but i had them figured out today (and did last season too when we beat them in the playoffs too as the game was rained out with enough innings in to make it an official game... and {eerie sounds now} it started raining during the same inning this year, but the rain stopped and we finished the game)... even they stopped after the game to praise the pitcher... the pitcher felt very very good about the whole experience...

meanwhile, the hitter did get a hit and a walk in four at bats, but generally stunk up the place... luckily, other hitters were hitting... so the hitter was ok with the crappy hitting cuz the hitter knew how much fatigue was involved in the weekend, having slept only about two hours and having played three games in the heat and humidity of the morning and day (with an hour of batting practice tossed in) and then a fourth game with rubber arms... rubbery arms do not hit well... but somehow the right rubbery arm pitched pretty darn good, outstanding even, everybody said so, you may have heard... have i been asleep lately?... am i sleeping now?... dreaming?... sleepy, no doubt... i might be slightly over-dramatizing or otherwise letting ego parade around with a party hat on... cuz really, the rest of the team did really really good and scored 11 runs and only made a couple of errors when the other team could hit the ball the pitcher was pitcher in a rather surprisingly outstanding manner as you may have already heard... yay team... i suppose i should make ego put more clothes on now...

silliness is sleepiness is silliness is happiness is wee wee wee all the way home, or something like that...

and then i got hungry...
