What are the warning signs of a sinking ship? Unwanted/unneeded weight, untimely faltering and sputtering of the engine, unwanted holes in the middle of the boat, and taking on water.
What are the signs of a tug boat? A Tug-boat is slow, loud, smokey and ugly. It will never win any beauty contests, boat races, or "boat with the most silent motor" awards. It appears unsafe, but the Tugger always gets to its destination, no matter what. Not always on time, but it gets there when it gets there. Slow and steady.
Final analysis: We made some mental mistakes (again) continually stranded guys on base, hit the ball at defenders all day and failed to move people over. A sure sign of a sinking ship? The reality is this, we won the game. Was it pretty, was it the definition of solid softball, was it easy? No, no style points, no "great game" awards, just a victory. Despite the struggles, at the end of the night the tug boat is docked. Sure we had chances to blow the roof off of the game, but we didn't. We struggled, but we won. To me that is NOT a sinking ship, that is a rickety old boat that just simply hung tough and found a way to win when they had to = DOCKED BOAT. Could this tug boat make a few more waves before the season ends? I think so

I hope we can! We can ram the pretty "ships" of course with our tugboat! Go Teal!
Sounds like it was a typical game for us. The good news is we played really well against the best team team last week.
That's a pretty long post. You've been hanging out with Justin, eh?
