August 21 2005

Well. That was a tough loss. A "heartbreaker" if you will.

When we last played the Revolt, we held a 7-3 lead going into the seventh. We lost that game 17-8. On Sunday, feeling good after three straight lopsided wins, we got a short-but-sweet pep talk from our player/coach/manager about us being a formidable opponent and not going into the game thinking we're going to lose. Essentially, play-to-win, not play-to-not-lose.

We aren't going to say much about this game.. It may be therapeutic to get it all out, but if we start to do that, the dripping tears may cause our keyboard to malfunction, and that wouldn't be any good now would it? A one run game at just 5-4, now that's a good playoff game. We'd like to think that we went out fighting. It feels like we did.

Not that it affected the outcome of the game(?!?), but how 'bout them umps, eh?

We're pretty sure some pics were taken at the game. When they are posted we'll let you know.

The next posting, announcing team awards, is coming soon..

Sorry dude, we didn't feel like re-living it all.. It was a heckuva game though, and we nearly wrote a detailed post just for you, honestly, but we figured you had your brother playing in the game and your dad watching the game so they can fill you in if they haven't already..

We'll tell you this much: We were up by one with two outs and the bases empty in the bottom of the ninth.

Thanks for the kind words georgia12jody, are you a baseball player/fan?
