Well we didn't do TOO well in starting off the season in the right manner. We lost 8-1 to what I still believe to be the worst team in the league. I've never seen a team (ours) that loses on such bullshit plays. We had one bad inning where the "hits" they had would not have added up to a home runs worth of length. Our pitcher was sawing people off with his curveball, but they were dinking them in the spots where no one was at. It was one of the most frustrating innings of my life. One bad call from the ump cost us two runs, then the infield in and a "throw the bat at the ball" blooper cost us one more. On the other hand, we hit the hell out of the ball, but always hit it at someone. We stranded 9-10 runners which kills. Overall, we played pretty well despite the loss. I went 0-1 with two walks and a foul tip K. The pitcher and catcher from the other team know me entirely TOO well and I didn't see shit to hit. The only good pitch I saw, I hit off the fence about 3' foul. The rest were low and away, or high and inside.
The bad news is the two new teams came to play ball this year and we have our hands full to repeat. I still think we have the most talent top to bottom, and easily have the best pitching staff. We can go 0-12 and still win the tourney, but I'm in this to win the league outright again, then win the tourney. The goal was 9-3, so we still have time to recover...
