You win some. You lose some.

I guess you can't win every game. Every once in a while, you play a horrible game and you want to just forget that it ever happened.  When you play sports and are as competitive as I am, you expect to play very well in every game you play. You expect to make all the plays, drive in several runs on several base hits, make the big catch, etc. Last night was the worst. After a great softball season of going 9-1and pretty much dominating every team, every week, we lost in the Championship game. It was pretty humiliating. In three seasons playing on this team and winning the Championship the previous two seasons, last night was the worst game we have ever played and it had to come on the night it mattered most. I certainly didn't do my part. I went 0-4 at the plate. 4 flyouts. That is unacceptable. I am not sure if it started with me or what, but the lack of production was contagious. No one was consistent and we only scored 10 runs the whole game. Pathetic! We usually score that many runs in one inning a couple times a game. To add to my frustration I made several fielding errors that were very uncharacteristic of me. We simply didn't show up to play and definitely didn't deserve to win the Championship last night. That is the great thing about softball; any team can beat any team on any night. Gotta bring your A-game all the time. Can't wait for the next season.
