A Few Random Thoughts

I've had a few thought rumbling around that are fit to write, no matter how far off base they may be...

-Seniority should mean little.  Experience can be a great teacher if it's used.  However, one year's experience twenty-five times is less useful than five years experience.

-The athletic line between goat and hero is razor thin.  Sometimes the goat executed well, but had a great play made against them.  Sometimes the hero messed up in monumental fashion and got helped.

-PGA Tour golfers are among the most mentally strong athletes in the world.  The serious practice is done after the practice rounds, and the days can be 12 hours or more six days of the week.  And they might have to compete at 6:30 am on three of the four competitive days.  So much for the days of "Play golf, Eat Steak."

-Chicago Cubs organization should be worrying about building a minor league system, not JumboTrons.  How about getting a real closer?  Maybe a proven bat in the middle of the lineup?  The fans are gonna come out anyway: 105 years and counting.

-Whatever happened to the Los Angeles Thunderbirds and the Bay City Bombers?

-Ten years around Little League and the atmosphere is the same.  We get to see the absolute best and the absolute worst of both kids and parents.  The former gives hope, the latter gives pain.

-On my best days, there are players I could never beat.  On my worst days, there are players who could never beat me.  Enjoy the day and the game, you never know when the injury could take every bit of it away.

So...am I off base?
