A Little Motivation

To the team:

Walt's Auto thinks we are joke somewhere between the
1996  Tigers who went 53-109 and the 2003 Tigers who
went 43-119.   A close second would be the 1988
Baltimore Orioles who lost 21 straight games, eerily
similar to the 20-0 loss we had at the hand of Walt's
Auto. 

Do you remember that feeling you had after we lost
20-0 in the bottom of the third inning?  Remember when
they were up 19-0 and tagging up and going from first
to second on fly balls? Remember when they were
laughing at us and making fun of us?

I do not know about you guys but  . . .  I wanted to
knock their heads off with closest bat. 

Trust me they will not be ready for us on Tuesday.  A)
they think we are an absolute joke.  B) we have a
better bat C) We are much improved defensively and
offensively D) We have developed good team chemistry

I am not saying that we are going to beat them but we
should make it a close game. They will be on their
heels and they will not be taking us seriously.  The
surprise factor is our best bet.  We will jump on them
early. 

The defensive show they put on us seemed like an
aberration when Gary and I witnessed them making 4-5
errors vs. Total Fence LLC. 

The bats were on fire today during batting practice.
Gary, Robby and Matt Calderone were all sending the
ball over the fence or off of it ( The fence is
roughly 315 to 325 at Jarvis). 

Those that did not make it to practice should spend
some time swinging a bat at the cages before the game.


If we do defeat Walt's Auto it will go down in
CTSportsplex folklore.  It will be remembered by all
of us as our Chaminade (Division 2) defeating number
one Virginia and Ralph Sampson in the 1982-1983
season.  Or our Miracle on Ice (1980 Olympics USA over
Russia- Hockey). 

Stay focused and remember that we can win.
