Re: 5/22/06 - Beers Extend Losing Streak to 5
Game 2 just further demonstrated the need for changes. Comments? Ok seriously we all suck. No one is immune from this! I suck you suck he sucks WE ALL FUCKING SUCK. I am going to work my ass off this week and do what I need to do to make this right. But One dude can't win it all. Stealing 2nd when the batter has no clue you're running has gotta stop. Yes I did that 2 weeks ago but this week when I got on I didn't go. WHY? Because the situation was 2 outs and a weak hitter up. If I get caught the weak hitter leads the next inning. My thinking is at least let me see if the kid can draw a walk to keep the inning going. THANK YOU!! Now I want my dam brownie point! :wink: But we're all not thinking like this. We all want to be hero. So far Batman and Clark Kent got nothing to worry about there are NO HEROS HERE ON THE BEERS. Infielders make errors, outfielders drop the ball, pitchers walk everyone. and hitters Strike out (yes that's me included with the bases loaded) But the fact I have to defend myself is exactly what I want to talk about. We all signed up because we want to play ball and we want to win. Yes their are people that are better than others at some things but we are a team of 9 or 10 or whatever the hell it is. If one screws up we yell, talk shit. That's a real team thing for us to do! :roll: And YES I TALKED SHIT TOO!!! And right now I apologize for all the shit I talked. ALL THE STRIKE OUTS, ERRORS & YES SANCHEZ THE UNCOOL ACT OF STEALING 3rd! But I'm writting this not to look to be forgiven but because we all need to learn that you may not like me I may not like you we may not like him he may suck they may suck I may suck but yo seriously we are together in this. And if you think we're not then fuck it Give me my money and I'll go home! Winning doesn't come from a one man team. it comes from a team becoming one! So on the post of our Friends and Family debacle I am suggesting: <*>We make signs on when to steal, hit and run etc <*>When we call out the line ups we scream those fucking names out and clap like we just won the world series! <*>We don't fucking ask every ten seconds who's coaching third or first. When the line ups are called after the last hitter is announce we continue with Person A your coaching first. Person B your at third. If thats too much then yo we all should fucking get out money back and go home! We seriously look like asswipes asking every inning who's coaching 1st. Some guys might not know how to read the pitchers feet movment. So why not help YOUR TEAMMATE! If we do little things to look like a team we might play like one! <*>RESPECT & FAITH!! We need to respect each others ability and encourage each other. When a weak hitter is up have faith. "Come on kid, come on Mo, Come on Snachez. Come on Chris get this bastard out etc. With that being said I will apologized to him personally but after Chris gave the Grand Slam I mentioned I knew he was going to hit. I should have said that And that is young immature statement. My baad Chris Maybe My company is rubbing off on me! <*>Lastly we need to attempt to Practice. if not during the week before a game. Again I got to Sundays game a little late. Mainly waiting for no shows. But still late. That shit is not gonna fly from me again! But we need to attempt to meet up. If I can go to Harlem and be there at 7:30 am after working all night coming home at 6am shower change and still drive all the way to pick up Mike S and Lou out of my way and still make it. Come on! Everyone is different but I make sure I do what I got to do because I want to play and win! If you read all this God Bless you because that means you can believe in something's that's here. Those are my Comments. If the Vulgarity got to you sorry but sometimes anger is expressed differently! Now lets F'in win PLEASE. The playoffs HAVE such a nice ring to them!! If there are any comments needed to be said to me personally and can not be posted here you can E-mail me call me you can even Fax me! My feeling is though we are a team and if it could be said to one it can be to all!

Not that it matters because Dave grounded out behind me, but in my 3rd at bat I had a single up the middle to load the bases.. You have me down as 0-4... 1-4 isnt much better, but it isnt 0-4.. Know what i mean??

Damn, my bad Ron...It's easy to miss some things entering the stats. I fixed it on our site but the stats are already into the league site. Next week when we send them the stats we'll add a note to give you a hit in last week's game.

Good points Mo! I mentioned some of those on my segment on the podcast. Such as stealing, signs and the need for more action on the bench (action not involving the opposite sex, :? . I would have to agree with Keith Hernandez's controversial point of view). When we're playing badly, as in the 2nd game, it's easy to try to blame anything but oneself. As Mike N mentioned in the podcast, it was not the sun, lack of sun, umpires, etc that messed us up. We should definitely cut down on the negative energy. Negative energy is: - Whining - Complaining - Annoying the manager about certain positions we want to play (which in turn annoys everyone else and creates discontent) - Excuses - Errors (Errors are very demoralizing, especially to a pitcher) And we need to pump up the positive energy. Positive energy is: - Cheering - Making noise (it gives the other team the impression that we believe we can win) - Telling the oposing pitcher what kind of Chinese chicken you want (good one, Ozzie) - Dutifully playing where you're needed without complaining - Putting the team ahead of yourself Most of us understand this concept, so I encourage those of us who have a firm understanding of what a team is to try to educate those of us who don't. We should all be comfortable enough with each other to give a friendly "shut up and sit down" when it's needed. :)

How about everytime somebody strikes out, they put a dollar in a pot and then at the end of the season whoever has the highest OBP (to be fair, it's the broadest measure) gets the money?

To save time should I just hand $20 to my brother right now? Nah, I guess I'll just go to the cages more.

Peter, you are so funny. See you tomorrow

I didn't read all of Mike Mo's thing because it was too long. I'll assume he talked about what he likes about my podcast and how I am inspiration to all. I did read simon's because it was much shorter. I think that the most efficient way to do it is like it's done everywhere else, performance based. We have to try and win and field the best team every game in order to do that. I covered this more on the show so listen, it's the tigh-*test*-('") 40 minutes in radio. And people who don't give results have to cut off a finger each time they do badly.

my thoughts on our play as a TEAM
hey every1...i know i havent been playing to my potential..ive been striking out left n right and my pitching sucks...str8 up...i admit idk wats wrong with me but im definitely busting my ass off trying to make things better...im working on my hacks n blah...anyway...mo has some good points and when 1 player sucks we all suck...were are NOT going to win by playing as a 1 man team..we have to work together and once we do that things will fall into place. 1. we really need signs to let batters now when the runner is going to steal, hit n run, etc. itll make our gameplay as a team that much more effective. 2. the teams errors: I havent been on the field much and im hoping i do now, but when it comes to team errors weve all heard it b4 but we seriously have to cut it down..we look rediculous out there dropping loopers and misplaying fly balls bcuz of mis communication. thats 1 thing we can work with at practice. when we get put out on that field were there 4 1 reason and thats to make the play. if u have to get dirty doing it so be it. u look down at ur uni n say hell yeah!! thats wat i do..n i love it! my point is, when that ball is coming your way, do everything in your power to catch it or at least stop it and make a play. just like ozzie sr told me (when ur out on that field..playcwith your heart and good things will happen) :) 3. batting: we are all getting better at the plate. even me..even tho it may not look like it...my swings improving...with that said...we are all capable of getting on base and producing when needed....but we all need some support at the plate..especially the weak hitters....pump em (me) up and scream lets go kid u got this etc. u get my point...every game ive been to/ team we have payed hype up theyre batters. wat happens? they tend to get on base. lets do wat we see works! TOGETHER!! :wink: 4. pitching: we have decent pitchers...we now have to train em im saying this from my personal experience..we cant jus throw em up there n hope 4 the best anymore. pick offs at the right moment wat to throw fielder positioning and pitch speed/location....practice is the spot for all of this beers, lets go and make this happen. finally im sorry if i bored you but i hope this post helped out our hopes and got us motivated to make it to these playoffs...im gonna go out there and give it my all jus like i have every other game do my very best to produce especially when needed. i may be one of the youngest players on our team...but dont think im outta the game jus like that...im going to be as into it and motivated as every other player out on that field each and every game!! if any1 wants to comment me about this just email me. let me know what u think and if this motivated u in any way. lets go out and get our sweep this week beers!
