Luck
- Good: It's good to have luck if you believe in it. It seems as if it's a friendly happening. For instance: Winning a jackpot at a casino slot machine, hitting a go ahead home run off of a dominant pitcher(Youre my boy koon...more heart than Brian Pettway...7-5 Wave), hitting a buzzer beater in the NCAA Basketball Tournament(Special shout out to Bryce Drew from Valparaiso), finding your favorite food item on sale at the grocery store. These are all things that can be thought of that might have happened because of good luck.
- Bad: I try not to dwell on having bad luck. For the most part I think you make your own breaks, but bad luck is so related to sports that it's hard not to think about it when it affects you. Example: Last night, Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers threw a 27 out perfect game.(28 really because he got the next batter out)....Except the first base umpire called the very last batter of the game safe when he was clearly out at first base. I don't know if you'd call it bad luck or not, but it sure seems as if Armando is chalking it up to that. Maybe he'll throw another perfect game later in his career, maybe he won't but for one night he was nearly immortal pitching a baseball, but he'll never go down in history.(For what it's worth I blame Commissioner Bud Selig for a)not giving him the perfect game and b)not going to a full replay system for America's greatest game.
- Funny: It's funny to me how people are so superstitious. I mean I understand why they are that way, but I'm gonna wash my socks even if my favorite team has won 11 consecutive games.(This guy used to brush his teeth between innings)
Short blog today(sorry for that), but I've got to get ready for my church softball game tonight. Thanks for reading and WISH ME LUCK...had to do it.
