Good and Productive Week

It's been a while since I posted last. Last week was full of good baseball, busy days, good food, and a lot of rest. We played Xalapa early in the week and finished with Cosomaloapan. We took 2 of 3 from both series. I hit a homerun on Thanksgiving day against Xalapa, and tried to steal home against Cosomaloapan. The homerun was big because it was game three of the series, the rubber match, and we were tied 5-5. The homerun put us up 8-5 and we never looked back. Stealing home was awesome! I just felt it and luckily had a veteran player at the plate that protected me. I had been paying close attention to the pitcher all game and noticed his slow delivery to home when he went form the wind up. I started walking, walking, walking, and then he stepped back to start his wind up and I was off. I was movin and I knew I had it. My eyes were fixed on homeplate and all I could see was the ball crossing the plate. I couldn't believe the ball was crossing the plate so quick. But then out of nowhere I saw Macias stick his bat out, putting down a beautiful bunt. I slid headfirst into home. I was safe and so was Macias at first. It was a blast. I couldn't stop laughing after it happened because I knew how crazy and fun it was. Everyone was looking at me with excitement and suprise in their faces. I started asking what happened, and the guys told me the pitcher sped up his wind up and just kind of threw the ball home real quick. They told me the first base umpire called a balk. The play ended up working all the way around, even though it probably wasn't the best time to do it. We still needed another run to win the game, but things like that get you remembered. Hopefully it will help my chances for this summer.
Just like stealing home I have really been trusting and accepting my feelings. I go through a wide range of feelings and emotions through the games and life. Sometimes I feel great, ready, and locked in. Other times I feel tired, out of it and hungry. Occasionally I feel like taking a huge swing. During some AB's I don't feel like swinging. Last night I stayed up till three looking at Graduate schools. I read what I want when I want. This week I have really been in my Bible and listening to the life of Einstein. Even reading a little of Mother Teresa, MLK, and LBJ last night. I am trusting where I am at each point and letting life turn out like it is supposed to. Just becoming who I am supposed to be. It seems to be working. Overall last week was very productive for the team and myself and I can feel it transitioning into this week. It seems things are going well back at home also. Gonna go head to lunch and start another series against Minatitlan in Cordoba. We have about two weeks of the regular season left and then the playoffs start. As of right now we are in first place in the second half. We'll see how the last four series go. We lost Murphy, the big league middle infielder yesterday and are going to be getting some new players. We'll see how the change affects the team. Time to finish strong. See yall in about a month.
