I see that we could be playing the Base Cadets after an hour break tonight and felt I should copy an excerpt from the July 22, season 14 playoff recap:
[i]A break that the Jetsons enjoyed in moderation knowing we had business to take care of. We were resting our legs, stretching our muscles, keeping our arms warm, and even icing down joints with the perfect mix of ice and non-lemon flavored water in a gingerbread man ziplock bag. But even with all of this preparation, when game two started the Base Cadets were in their groove and we had gone flat. This resulted in a game that made me about as sick as seeing someone pull a scab off their knee to start munching on it. Oh wait, I actually paid $5 to see that, but the game really did make me sick. I don’t even want to talk about it really. We had one of our top 3 worst games at the plate posting a .276 team batting average. This was one of the ugliest scorebooks I’ve ever seen.[/i]
No, I'm not taking the first game lightly. And no, I don't think this will happen again. But it is a good reminder for everyone to bring water, an energy bar, spicy chicken sandwich, or whatever it takes to keep your softball peak going into game two.
