Winning Effort
Well, this is my first post so let me start off with something exciting...well, at least to me it is...cuz I wouldn't want to start off on the wrong foot.
I'm in the second season of my company softball league and it's been well known that the defending champs have held the title for 4 of the last 5 years. That's not the thing that bothers me. The problem with them is that they talk smack throughout the year. I know...they have bragging rights...but c'mon! Not in the offseason. Let's just keep it in the game. I'm mean...this is a company thing after all. But the biggest thing of them all is that the coach of the team benches half of his players in the playoffs to bring in the sluggers cuz that's the only way they'll win. And the only reason I know about this is because some of the guys on that team quit cuz they were disguisted with the move cuz they showed up all season long and got the team to the playoffs and the guys that got to play, showed up about once or twice during the entire season. I think that's BS, but that's only one man's opinion.
Anyhow...it's our team objective to win it all this year. We did very good last year (my first season with my team). We fell short in the playoffs. This year, we're a lil more determined, but never losing focus on the fact we're just doing this for fun.
So we met the team today and kicked their azz, 18-11. I was 3 for 3 at the plate and scored twice so I was happy with my performance. This game really doesn't matter too much, but it will if we should meet them in the playoffs. Our bats were solid this week. We kept the ball low and ran the bases like a bull was chasing us. It was a great effort on all our parts.
K...guess I'm out for now.
