As I mentioned before, I'm on a church softball team. Tonight, my softball team lost. I guess we played decently. We just couldn't close it off. We went into the last inning with the lead and we blew it. Being the home team, we got the chance to bat last. With all the pressure on me, I approached the plate with 2 outs with no men on. I lined a ball over the center field's head and attempted to turn a legit stand-up double into a triple. The center fielder threw to his cut-off man, and the cut-off man gunned me out at third. It was a close, shoe lace tag. He got me though.
I told the player after the game that I was used to this kind of thing. You know, these heartbreakers. After I said this, the guy looked at me puzzled. I quickly made myself clear by saying, "I'm a Braves fan."
I'm sorry. I apologize for that comment.
Well, in case you don't know, the Braves lost their third straight last night. Sadly enough, they couldn't give the run support needed to back up, yet again, another stellar performance by Glavine.
"I'm wondering if I'm ever going to win a game this year," Glavine said after allowing the Nationals two earned runs and six hits in six innings. "Chances are that I will. There are times you just get in stretches like this or ruts. ... Still, sooner or later you want to get rewarded for your efforts. It will come."
Or at least we hope so.
