-el champions-

welp...we played in the championship game tonight. first place team (them) against the 2nd place team (us). they beat us last week so we were coming in from the losers bracket...and they were in the winners bracket. what does that mean you may ask?...it means they only have to beat us once tonight and they are the champs. we would have had to beat them twice tonight. long story short, we lost by 1 run. we played terribly for the 1st 2 innings but managed to come back and make it close. i can think of 3 or so big plays right now that guys missed that cost us...and there was 1 terrible call by the ump that hurt us really bad. those 2 things i could do nothing to control...but heres why i am hanging my head. i was 0 for 4. i pulled an 0 for 4 on the last game of the season. the worst game i had had up to this point this season was a 2-4. i honestly dont even remember the last time ive had a game where i didnt get at least 1 hit. its been years. everyone whos been playing with me for a long time commented on how theyve never seen me go hitless. out of all the nights i could go hitless i pick tonight. im our clean up hitter and go 0 for 4 in the championship game and we lose by 1 run. argh! 1 hit from me and its tied or we win. 2 hits we win. all i had to do was have an average pablo night and we win. just average. even a slightly below average night and we probably win. but i go 0 for 4. god, i feel bad about this one.

at some point i will realize that its just softball...but for tonight...im pouting.
