Normally we would have a recap of the games from night, but for 1, we are focused on the playoffs now so no sense looking back, and 2, the photo above pretty much sums up the most exciting part as this accurately shows the amount of damage the deranged soccer chick thought her car had sustained via homerun ball last evening.
In addition to arguing with the crazy woman who was ready to take on 22 grown men at once to get to the bottom of the damage to her beloved Toyota Prius, last night we were putting the lid on a regular season that put us firmly in 3rd place in the standings, but well below where we thought we would be following a 21-1 record in 2013. The season has been quite up and down due to injuries, inconsistent hitting, fielding lapses and a recently diagnosed lack of fun. We scored 13.3 runs per game this year (compared to 15.6 last year) and are giving up 11.1 (compared to 8.3 last year). This has led to tighter games and less margin for error. JJ's alone have handed us 3 of our losses this year outscoring us 39-66 in the process. Luckily for us they fall on the other side of the bracket for the playoffs and we won't have to deal with them until the championship where we beat them last year in dramatic fashion.
I think there is plenty of reason for hope though as our overall attitude was great last night and now the pressure is off of us completely and we can go into the playoffs with people taking us lightly and 0 pressure. Hopefully Dan can get healed up and our bats will come alive when we finally need them.... the hitting against Gold Nugget last night was definitely a good start. I sent out the bracket via email earlier, but I will post it online later in the week with a playoff preview. If anyone wants to get together for some pre-postseason BP let me know as I would be available after work on Thursday or Monday.
