the tides have turned

ill get to the title later....

i haven't updated since like wednesday....thursday we were supposed to have a playoff game but the umps never showed up...after that nayhouse and i went to the carnival at st. wendelyns....friday, we were supposed to have it again but it rained real hard and bradburn and i went to the carnival....saturday i probably just chilled....

yesterday- i woke up early to go out to breakfast....seriously, my mom, my brother, and i haven't gone out to breakfast(well my dad wasn't there but still) in a long time....we went to dennys and the food was good....then, i came home and drew and i caught and he pitched a little, then i cut the grass and just chilled till like 430....i left for my game then....we played west mifflin in the best of 3 series....i wasn't in the starting lineup which kinda pissed me off....they threw rosenthal and we really weren't able to do a lot against him....we just couldn't get the big hit and we committed five errors leading to three unearned runs and we lost the game 5-4....that sucked....i didn't play all game which made me even more pissed off....later that night i played poker online till like 3 which was cool

today- woke up at like 11....just chilled watching the real world(wtf is up with that melinda girl, talk about a slut) and doing little stuff around the house...then around 2 i went down to the bank and to subway(i gotta go there more often, they got this new hot chic down there) and then i did some more stuff around the house until i had to leave for my game....i was in the starting lineup today and i was happy because if we lost it would be the last game i ever played....after one inning neither team had scored....however, top of the second bill and ben both got on and i hit a liner through the middle to score ben...we ended up gettin 3 runs that inning....they responded with 2 in the bottom half of the inning....next inning i got another hit to bring home two runs and we ended up making it 6-2....it remained that way until the bottom of the fifth where they scored one run making it 6-3(this is where i made a good catch on a line drive to save a double)....but we responded in the top of the sixth with two more making it 8-3.....they got it to 8-5 and we scored once more in the top of the seventh to make it 9-5....that's how the game ended....i can't remember a better game that i've played all around all year...i made several good defensive plays to assuage conroy's leaving the ball up sometimes....i also went 2-3 with 2 RBI's and 2 runs scored....it was a great all around team win, good pitching from conroy and solid defense....i definitely felt that we outplayed their best team without our legion guys....so game 3 is tomorrow....for all the marbles.....for my career to continue, we have to win....come out to winklevoss field in west mifflin to support us, game is at 6, hope to see people there.....

next issue....i've been blowing people off lately and i really feel like shit about that.....kazour and noob in particular....kazour asked if i wanted to play pool like three nights ago and i really had no desire to go....tonight noob asked if i wanted to come over....i really wanted to, it would have been hella fun, but i would have been in bad shape tomorrow, and i really want to try to be fresh as can be for this game 3.....i feel complete nostalgia when i walk onto a baseball field....back to the days of coach pitch, shane liska and the orioles, bwaa fall ball, eric schleicher and the cardinals and winning the championship, the mariners, winning the 'ship again, striking out 17 guys in one game, and the best season i've ever had, sucking in pony league, our sq. hill team sucking 2 years ago, our great sq. hill run last year, losing to lincoln place first round in city, losing to morningside on a lousy call in second round of guyasuda playoffs, and this year with the baldwin team....i fell like i owe it to whatever baseball gods and my teamates that have given me all these great memories to go out and play with maximum intensity all the time....when baseball season is over i'm ready to do stuff again, but until then, let's go baldwin supercolt....

one last thing, i've been having these crazy dreams lately....like every night, i dream about different people....some are about ppl i haven't talked to for years and others are just so weird....idk, anyone like good at reading dreams that can tell me what this means?

tonight once again we'll go with frost....he's a great writer, i forgot about this poem until i was sorting through my 11th grade notes last weekend, what a great poem this is

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep
By Robert Frost

The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.
They look at the sea all day.

As long as it takes to pass
A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull

The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be-
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.

They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.
But when was that ever a bar
To any watch they keep?
