Mid season is upon us, and it's not for the weak hearted. If your team wishes to prevail, you must make good decisions, you must play mistake free ball. * (more on * later)
And... I haven't always been doing that. I apologize. Don't know whether it's the years or the mileage. Time (ugh) will tell, I guess, whether I can un**k my game. Seems to get a little looser as the day goes on, but I digress.
Intangibles--like the music mix. A little change is good. Up tempo, please. Because I was once an up tempo and rhythm player, and would like to be one again, Ballchair willing:

Notables. For the second day in a row on the weekend, player of the day is: Taz. Did one of you kill his dog or something? If this keeps up, you should be scared of the Tazzyman:

Next in line for mighty hitters, in no particular order, Dub, Mikey, Scotty.
Sets: New York, New York, New York:

Marcelo and Navy were also very good setters. Circling the commode were me and LJ.
* (see above) So I want to thank LJs team, since he won't, and mine, for carrying us in that 19-17 battle. It was a hell of a game, and we both underperformed. Nate Nightshield, the secret weapon, and born again hard Monkey have been carrying LJ all weekend--good thing they go to the gym:

Usually that's not a good trade, and my suck has been somewhat nonpareil of late. But like I said, the funniest thing happened. The WORST give and go combinations that you could probably think of in your nightmares, WORKED: Chief to LJ, LJ to Chief, LJ to Nate? Really??? No, really. That did comprise a good part of our offense!
Emphasizing that's why we play the games, and let bygones be bygones when you're on the same team!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZEdDMQZaCUWhen the suns up, suck it up. Play. I was kinda done, but with good music and good fellowship, why not play summore? Paid for that one. Got cracked. I think I hit Nate the same way yesterday. Injuries are down, and we all know the risks. All good.
Ws? Had a few. More than yesterday. W-L? I'm a gonna try for the former rather than the latter. But sun of a gun, I'm thinking about Rule #1. Sure did enjoy playing today, Pandas. What round is it?
