Heard a professional football player doing a interview about his last game being the first time he's lost two in a row in his life. I couldn't help but think of my slo pitch softball playing days when on more than one occasion our team entered a weekend, double elimination tournament against competition clearly a level above us and we would get our asses kicked in a Friday evening game via the five inning, ten rule rule .... Say maybe 18-2 and then return for a Saturday morning game and again get our asses kicked, oh by maybe a 17-1 score and be eliminated from the tournament before any of us had time to enjoy breakfast, our much anticipated festive weekend of softball, seemingly lasting a total of 45 minutes.
We eventually started looking for tournaments with three or four game guarantees where eventually we might cross paths with one team that was equally as foolish as us as far as hopes and expectations.
