Game Two And Following Practice
It must have been opening day jitters that affected my pitching in the first game because I was really happy with game two results. Or was it?
The good news is, I only hit one kid in game two. The bad news is, this is the second time I hit that same kid. More good news is, he is one of my four gorillas and he proceeded to rip the next pitch (Way to hang in there Nathan!). The bad news is, I struck out my own boy twice. All that said, I was really comfortable and put out a lot of hittable balls. Woohoo!
Along comes practice today and I’m all over the place. I mean, what the heck? I don’t want to make light of the earthquake in Japan last night but I do wonder if the earth’s magnetic field got boogered up or something. We have an 8:30am game tomorrow (this morning?) so I’ll be getting to the fields at 7:30 to setup and warm up. I’m not going to step on one crack-in-the-concrete, cross the path of a black cat (or vice versa) , walk under any ladders, or think any bad thoughts about that creepy kid in that one Twilight Zone episode.
I know everyone will be on the edge of their seat waiting to hear how things go so I’ll try to post results. If we win I’ll take all of the credit and if we lose I’ll blame it on the kid whose self esteem I think I can damage with the least amount of effort.
Bonus note: I’ll be able to see Abby’s game tomorrow too!
