Jim Mora - "Playoffs? Playoffs? We're talkin bout playoffs?" Oi that's how I felt tonight as we played 6 games and all we needed was one to clinch a playoff spot. The other team needed to win all 6 to hold on to 1st. As each game kept going by, we kept losing, my team kept getting more negative with each other. J-Ro's team though is by far the best hitting team overall, they hit so smart and I told them that. Big Red, wow he roofed me on my 2nd hit. I tried dumping it past him a couple of times, and dude this guy just literally grabbed my dumps and threw it back at me! Big Red man his power level was amazing and I was loving it!

By the 2nd game, it was time to kick it into S.S. 3 in order to match Big Red. From that point on He just gave me the strength and energy to match J-Ro's team, I had at least a touch on every block, I led the team in digs. Big Red was not roofing me anymore, but still staying at S.S.3 was just not enough. The Ref even talked to me saying it looked like 6 on 1 out there and he said "too bad you can't take all 3 hits." The 6th game, last chance to win one, and we prevailed. Big Red, and J-Ro all talked to me after the game. They all gave me props and believe I am the best player in this league. That meant a lot to me because Big Red is one of the best thinkers in this game I have played against. J-Ro's team just admired my heart, jumping into the pole, the bleachers, trying to dive over the trash can just so we do not lose the point. Going S.S. 3 and to last through it for 5 games straight has taken a toll on me. I was just glad that I was able to wear out Big Red before I was completely drained.

The thing is though, we don't serve to be in the playoffs. This team that I am playing on, are just such sore losers and have bad attitudes. I do not even join them in the huddles anymore because all they do is point fingers at each other and get down on themselves. I just smile and try to encourage everyone, but there is just so much negativity on this team. I even called out one of them today and asked them "are you sure you go to church?" The only thing I look forward to is playing against LAGNAF one more time.
