Technologically Challenged

Having a web meeting with colleagues in Japan - they can't ever figure out how to get this working. Spend the 1st 20 minutes trying to get their audio to work.

In the Zone

After another really great game last night, OSSS asked me a question on ride back home.

"Do you think I was playing better at 13U or now at 14U this season?"
"I think you are playing awesome all season."
I think I'm playing better now. On 13U, I always felt pressure to do everything or we wouldn't win. On this team, I can just play baseball, no pressure, just rip".

I think he's right. Proud. I. Am.

Mental Toughness

Some got it, some don't. Hard to learn. It is one of life's biggest accomplishments, as it helps you in everything you do.

I have more to say but not right now; you know who you are. Audi.

Mets-Yankees

Always a big rivalry here in the greater metro area. Unbridled passion for baseball makes Mets-Yankees must see. SoulSlam and family and some of OSSS's pals went last night.

Game ended not so good for the Mets. That's what happens when lefty swinging Raul Ibanez gets an 85mph FB from a RHP. Bad pitch. Tie game.

Citifield was packed...with drunks. Lots of finger-pointing and Jersey Shore style taunting for fights. And in the truth is known dept. - SoulSlam hisself had some words with a madras-shorts wearing D-Bag. Harsh words at that. Have another big can of suds big mouth.

Late home, up next day for OSSS 14U Baseball Game. Now I am watching the Evil Empire beat the home team again.

Champeens

Congrats to the megalithic Miami Heat in winning the NBA title. Unlike you haters, I like LeBron. SoulSlam was rooting for OKC, but the Heat played better basketball, and certainly got the calls in G2 and G3.

Champs. South Beach is rocking for sure. At least tonight.

The Grad

OSSS graduated Middle School tonite, along with the kids I remember forever...SoulSlam is bursting with pride. Gold tassle is correct!

It Certainly Does Look One-Sided

When you consider the calls the Heat are getting in the NBA Finals.
