yeah, i know. kinda goofy for a blog entry. sometimes while driving, i (or my mind) play word games. being ADD, it just sorta happens. for some reason, i got to thinking about childhood games and for some reason, “red rover” popped in my mind. i had a real red rover (you know, the SUV) pass me and i thought the whole thing was kinda cool. makes me want one with a vanity plate. anyway, remember the game? “red rover, red rover send (insert a friend’s name here)”. and then we would join arms and whoever we called would come running and try to break our arm-in-arm grip. but there was some other game and i can’t remember much about it except for “ollie ollie oxen”. anybody out there, please let me know.
this series was our worst road trip this year. we went 1-4 against a team in last place in their division. as a matter of fact, they had a 9 game losing streak until we arrived. we won’t discuss this series much further except to say our next road trip is a 6 game series against the same team so stay tuned. we leave in 10 days!!!
overall, this trip was odd. losing 4 games, i put some scratches on the coach just after it got repaired/painted from where another driver scraped a retaining wall at dollywood. we had a 27 mile shuttle to the ballpark one way which means with 3 trips daily, i was doing a lot of driving. most road trips, it is 1-3 miles from hotel to park. gives me something to look forward to!!
at this writing, we are still 4 games above .500 so overall we are not doing too badly. i still believe in these guys and i am confident most will go on in their careers and achieve great things. they are talented and well coached. they have always treated me with respect and courtesy and never been rowdy on the trips. i can’t say enough good things about these players.
until next time…
