Play Ball!
I watched the Pittsburgh Pirates ball game this evening because some of my family members were attending it. I watched it, but I didn't watch every minute of it. I worked outside for a while and talked to my neighbors for a while and did computer stuff for a while. When I turned the game on, it was the top of the fourth and already the score was 7-0, Pirates.
I watched the game then, most of the time, any way. I watered the living room plants during that time. I left the room when each half inning was completed. I refilled the watering bottle and other little things. When I'd get back to the living room, the pitcher would be throwing to a batter.
Finally I settled down to watch the game, --but I read interesting articles in Leadership magazine while I kept in mind what was going on at the baseball game.
Then, when the Pirates were six outs away from winning their game, I put the magazine aside and just watched the game. I watched the game, but I fell asleep! I woke up in time to see the last two outs.
Then I switched channels and saw the last inning of a championship softball game between Canada and United States. I think I liked it better than the big league game. The score was Canada 2, US 1. US was up to bat last. Danielle, an 18 year old, was pitching for Canada. She was very skilful. She executed the third out, catching the ball and throwing it to first. The girls were triumphantly excited. I knew Danielle had done a fantastic job and I was happy for her. Both teams will be playing again. If I get a chance to watch, I would enjoy seeing them in another game.
Now, it's bedtime!
