Oh well...you win some (not yet) and you lose some!

Even though we could not play our games on Friday and Saturday, Sunday seemed like the perfect day to play all of the missed games....NOT!

It was chilly, muddy, and rushed! At least that is the way that I felt about the first outing for the TRIBE! Although improvements were made from game to game, it was a little depressing to lose all three games. BUT, on a positive note, we did pretty darn well for our first tournament on some pretty bad fields!

Some highlights......

Morgan...."Great catch! Great job backing up first base!"
Miller....."You are so tough. You took a couple hard hits and kept on playing. Awesome!"
Garrison...."You looked like a pro throwing those two outs at first!"
Blane....."Nice throw from third to second for the out!"
Jake O...."Keep catching that ball on second...wow!"
Jake S....."Way to stop that ball and be where you are supposed to be!"
Joshua....."Fantastic catching going on at first!"
Daniel...."Way to hustle after the ball!"
Kyle..."What a way to hit that ball! You really worked hard behind the plate!"
Balfour..."Nice contact hitting! Way to run it out every time!"
Caylob..."You are as fast as grease lightning!"

I know more than anyone that it is hard to remain positive when our team is on the losing end, but we, the biggest fans, HAVE to support our guys no matter what! I have a feeling that after some practice this week, the TRIBE will do much better next weekend!

Michael Jordan says "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. "

Let us remember that a little failure equals little success, but a lot of failure equals a lot of success (simply because we CAN'T give up)!

GO TRIBE!
