Random Thoughts

So yesterday was our last softball game of the season, we came into this game with a record of 2-7...the other team who we somewhat know came into this game with a 0-9 record. The whole season, a lot of my team was looking forward to this game cuz we knew they weren't that good and their record reflected it. So the whole week, our whole team was boosting and hyping up...me included...about how we're gonna win...hit lots of homeruns, cuz it's a small diamond and stuff. We were so full of it, so cocky...and you know what happened yesterday, exactly what we deserved...we lost. We were up by 4 runs...somehow the caught up and we lost by 3. We're not even a good team to begin with, how do we have the audacity to belittle another team who's record isn't that different than ours. Myself included...I was all like yeah gonna hit homeruns and stuff. When I had realized we lost...it took a moment to sink in...me and a few other guys were the only ones who really took it to heart...mainly because we played sloppy, we had the lead, we lost the lead, and this was a game we were "supposed" to win. There was an uneasy tension among our own team as well because our coach...the team we faced, a lot of them were his cousins...so tensions rose cuz people felt he was being too easy...as well some of the umps were a little iffy. But eh...a loss is a loss....for a good hour I was sulking...mad cheesing...just shocked that we lost. Then after devos...and a good time to relax...I realized...this is exactly what we deserved, we underestimated them when we aren't even that great in the first place...overestimated ourselves...became cocky...made mistakes...let them catch up and win. It was exactly what we deserved...can't complain, I was annoyed at first...but we dug our own graves essentially. It's crazy how God will break you down when He feels you're too crazy or too in over your heads. This loss was just really humbling...it brought me at least...back down to earth....that God is in control of every situation and anything and everything can happen...if He so chooses it to, but yeah...the season's over...not a superb way to end it off...but we had a team dinner, team bonding, playing wii...it was a overall fun night to help forget about the game. As well...me and the coach have agreed we're DEFINITELY coming back to play jrs at least one more year...ayyyyyy...can't wait till next year.
