Sore loser.

I've never understood the phrase "be a good loser". Blame my family, but I'm sorry, it IS if you win or lose. 2nd place will always be 2nd place, and 1st will always be better. I do know you can't win 'em all, but you can sure as hell try and its ok to be pissed if and win you lose. Yes you go shake the other teams hand, tell them good game, but you should never be satisfied to lose and I'll stand by that untill the day I die. If your (or your team as a whole) best isn't good enough then you need to work harder. Goals. Make them, then beat them. That being said we had our last softball game of the season last night. God we suck. This was my 1st year of ever playing slow pitch softball and only did so because the team needed people and my friend knew I was a rather good baseball player back in the day.Out of my kindness I agreed to go into uncharted territory and help out a friend. Truth be told I feel tons more comfortable hitting a ball comming at me 80 miles an hour and curving into my head than hitting something thrown underhand stright and slow. However I took my lack of skill at this and worked on it and turned into a damn good hitter. The fielding was never a problem as it is the same thing with a bigger ball. My team... oh my fucking team. I love these guys but goddamnit they must be the least driven bunch I've ever seen. You know how many times we practiced as a team during this 7 week, 14 game season? Once. One. Damn. Time. As I'm sure you can guess, we got the ever loving shit beaten out of us the 1st half of the season. Run ruled shit beaten out of us. Embarassing. The second half was better, we won 3 games and got beat by only 1 or 2 runs late in the game, but a lose is a lose. We have another season in a month and my best friends cousin, the guy whose team it is, seems to think we can jump into a league higher. That means better players. Seriously who the fuck would do this? You don't need an education to figure out if we do this, we'll get killed. But I'll play anyway because I actually do like the game, and playing it made me realize how I miss playing baseball. That and it gives me an excuess to drink a few beers and get away from the old lady, actually shes not old at all....just sounds good. Also I'll do it in hopes of another team asking me to play for them. A team that gives a shit about winning and losing. If not, then fuck it....bring on the ice chest of Keystone and lets get hammered at least.

On a side note, do you know how much people pay for "good" softball bats? $200-$500. Un-fuckin-real. My brother in law plays thank god, and hooked me up with a $300 dollar bat he doesn't use anymore. Maybe its just me, but if I payed $300 for that fuckin thing I'd use it untill that mother fucker looked like a fly swatter.
