good softball season so far

i am playing in four leagues regularly, pitching in each, and this is one of the better seasons i've had... on average, my teams win a championship a couple of times each year and have two (that i remember) this year so far... this season there is a chance for three more and the standings are below...

with six games left in the Sunday league, it is still anybody's championship but we control our own destiny... if we go 4-2 the rest of the season we should lock it up... it will not be easy as we still play Mojomen twice (they have the best hitting by far and we will have to play without errors and with our best hitting to beat them, we do that very inconsistently and so fdar, i've been able to pitch our way out of bad games {all but one} and i've been hitting well well above expectations, picking up a lot of slack)... we also play Onslaught again and we just barely beat them the first game... and we play Riots again and they are much better than their record this season (beaten by us, Rage, Onslaught, and Savoyeurs - four of the top five teams)... we win those four games and we are in... it is not the World Series season (that is the Spring season and we finished fourth after starting 7-1 and then falling apart with several players dropping out the second half... those players joined Savoyeurs and beating them 20-0 was the goal... we reached that goal in spite of them having a very good team... motivation works sometimes)... we can hope our teams holds it together this season and improves next season... anyway, if we win three of those four and the other two, we should have the championship as well... gonna take a lot of paying above expectations on most of our parts... stay positive, right?... one week at a time...

with four games left on Monday we tripped and lost our first game of the season this week so we need to keep winning to finish first... the season doesn't decided the championship however as there is a single game elimination tournament for all four teams that decides it... the wins were not always easy, so we need to show up to the tournament and play our best...

with two games left on Wednesday, we locked up first place, but there is a two game elimination tournament that decides the championship... we play the second and third place teams in a double header next week so that should keep us sharp...

and with three games left on Friday, we tied for second with the tiebreaker in our favor so we need to keep wining to stay in second... our two loses came against the first place team (who almost broke my leg the last time we played them and pretty much reduced my pitching and hitting effectiveness by at least 50%)... unfortunately, there is no playoff in this league so the best we can do is second...

and the standings and stats each league provides are below (click on the image to see it bigger)...

Catch up (and know more)

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 :)
