Got to the ballfield for the brief coach's meeting then on to where the two teams that we played today were playing. Got my scorebook out and scouted where each player hit. So when we played the first team I was ready. Little good it did me cos we sucked hind teat! Or in other words we lost 9-5. I told my boys "when you can't hit your way out of a wet paper sack you can't expect to win a ballgame". I guess I get little blunt with them sometime. But it was true!!!! Now that score would later prove to be important. The team we played first was the loser from the first game by 1 run. We then play our 2nd game and we win 15-0!!! Had to laugh when after I had yelled at one of my players about something the plate umpire yelled, "Hey Coach". When I looked at him he made the whip-cracking motion! I just answered him with "Dang right!" So now in our 3 team pool we have 3 teams that are all 1-1. Tie breakers are determined by run differential. Which means we won 1st place in our pool. We play again tomorrow at 10:30 and at 1:30. If I read my brackets right, and I could be wrong (it does happen from time to time) we are already in medal play. 1st team we play is always tough but if we hit we should be able to beat them and then the other two should not be as hard. Even had a player from one of the teams we played tell me he thought I was one of the best coaches he had ever seen in action at sr. games and oh you have about the cutest damn haircut I have ever seen.
Had a very sweet text from someone that I consider a dear dear friend today and then home to have a sweet message on FB from another friend.
In case you couldn't tell today has been a good day and I am looking forward to tomorrow. Life is good. Oh and my glasses are back but then that is another story. Have a great day or night depending on when you read this.
