Take last weeks game and draw a carbon copy for 2 1/2 innings. We do well and score 4 runs in the first inning, and give up 1 in the first and second and sit with a 4-2 lead with the Blue Jays (a twisted form of Oriole?) up in the bottom of the 3rd. I'm a bit nervous, you know I am. It's hard not being nervous. Still, we do things right and walk away 4-2 winners. A good performance, and we showed that when we do the fundamentals right, we will always be in with a shot.
Finishing the regular season with one loss is a pretty good achievement. The fact we finished the season having to fight for every win will make the experience that more impressive. While we can't get too arrogant, we know that we are still a work in progress, still a team of many pieces, a team that can't begin to rest on it's laurels. We have to keep working, and we have to keep focused. Our chalenge is clear and teams will be gunning for us.
I am so pleased to have been able to work with such a great group of kids this year. If we take anything away from our season, it is that we can be great, all we have to do is believe in oursselves and work hard.
