We got beat last night five games to none. Sounds pretty bad, and it is as far as out team rank goes. But I think we played better last night than we have so far this year. We took the other team the full hour; they were all young college guys (no girls on their team) who were clearly pretty hardcore athletes in high school.
In other news, this game really tears a person up. The problem, I’ve decided, is the lightweight balls they have us use. If you throw with any sort of velocity at all, you’re bound to strain your neck and throwing arm. As soon as I walked in the door at home last night I popped a 200mg Wal-profen and stuck an icepak on my elbow. My arm feels OK this morning, but my neck is very stiff and sore. Thank God we only play once a week.
On the bright side, we didn’t lose anyone to injury last night. The team we play next week has only lost two games, so I don’t hold out much hope for picking up any wins. Who knows….
