This hurts! For the past season I served as manager for Michaelas "Blue Dolphin" softball team. We managed to draft an incredible team - loaded with unbelievable talent. In a league of 12 teams - we were certainly in the top 3-4 teams. Our "Dream Season" continued as we pulled a first round bye for our tournament. In the second round we won our game fairly easily. Then came "Dark Saturday". We had a double-haader. The first game was against an extremely good team. We battled to a tie - exchanging leads several times thought the game. We played two innings of sudden death. We came up with our lat at bats behind by 4. We scored two runs quickly (one of which was by Michaela stealing home). Then with a runner on and the tying run at the plate...ground out...we lose.
We returned for an evening game against a team that we had handled easily all season. To make things even more favorable - they were short a player - and only field a team of nine instead of ten. WE LOST. Season over.
Woke up this morning pretty bummed. Was thinking to myself - the thing about sports is - there is no ambiguity. You either win or you lose. As Jim Rome says "Scoreboard".
