and they did it again

the softball team, that is... we had a double header against two bottom dwelling teams and we lost them both... the most frustrating part was that the coach wasn't paying attention to the game and he just ignored me after i had gotten there an hour early (he showed up five minutes before game time and 'took over' but was obviously distracted and letting a lot of mistakes happen on the field that gave up runs and didn't say a word to batter striking out and hitting poorly... one guy struck out four times in a row, twice with bases loaded, once with first and third, and once with a runner on third who should have scored but the coach didn't send him home... we lost both games by one run as the home team... pathetic and give-away games... so we dropped from first to middle of the pack with three loses in a row to teams we should have easily beat if we had a coach who paid attention... the most frustrating thing of all is we had a talk about my coaching more, especially on the field, because it keeps my head in the game and i i am the most experiences player with the most softball knowledge on the team... he said he agreed and today he completely ignored me as i called to him from the field to put players where they belonged... everyone was playing way too deep and that cost a lot of runs on base hits that should have been outs... anyway, frustrating day because a coach should care, pay ayyention, manage a game, and keep his word and he did none of that today...

the team really isn't ready for the world series so losing is probably best so we don't waste a couple of thousand dollars each on the trip... it just sucks when it feels like we were set up...
