The Championship....

It was the night of not supposed to be like that, or the night wasnt supposed to end like so.... The championship game for the 2nd president's cup 2008 between The PLK Zombies X and The Gunners. It was the clash of the titans some says, but for the Zombies, the winner has won the game right before the start of the game. The Gunners won the game eventually 8-6. Congrats to them, but a very well done to the X for them played the game good that night lead the game by 4 runs right up to the 5th inning.

Oh well, some says that, if it was meant to be, it was meant to be, but it was meant to be the X's night. Some says you just cant blame the umpires, the men in blue, just to throw out the frustration, but then again if the umpire was nervous, right before the start of the game, and tell the contestants about that, you'll have the thinking of his inconstancy calls. Of course we knew that we dont have a pro ump, and I have read an article about dont blame the umpire if your team have a bad game, the things were, X doesnt have a bad game, they played well, but just that the umpires make a little too many mistakes. For me it doesnt really matter, if the plate ump call it ball, even if the pitched ball is right in the center of the strike zone, but the thing was 1 of his mistakes...... He already called ball after a pitch, then a few seconds later and after the Gunner's catcher stared at him, he changed his call to strike.... How can that happen in a championship game? I am NOT blaming the catcher, he has every right to give the ump a lot of pressure, everyone does, dont they? or is it just me, but in my opinion, an ump should stand firm,pro or not. I can add up more but I think I better not....... it will become more unpretty.

Winning isn't everything. The champions are the ones who received the championship trophies, but the true champs are the one who is trying hard to make the best out of the bad situations... and that is why I'm proud to be a zombies..... Not trying to find excuses. Being there in the tensed dugout, they managed well. I'm a winner myself, and hate losing very much, at least I knew that, they really trying hard to win the fight against themselves and win the game, to control their emotions/feelings, to not let their teamates down, and they still can smile knowing that everyone can see how hard it is to break their spirit.

X lost the game playing a very good game, for me everyone can see.... Congrats again to the Gunners, for the X, you guys are definitely not the titans but certainly you all are the best. Keep enjoying things guys, we enjoyed watching.

Who is that bold lady in green...? "She" is hot....hehehe

Good thing comes to those who wait...

Been waiting for this shoes, since early Feb, now its with me. What a wonderful week for me so far, I've got to admit, having received my beauteful glove, and yesterday came the shoes. I may not as happy as when I received the glove but in the final game, at least I have 2 new items to wear or show off :) . If only the underarmour batting glove fits me, but unlucky for me that it doesnt. But still I'm glad to have the 2 items to wear for the Championship game held for the first time at the Taman S.O.A.S. on the 1st of March @ 2000 Hrs.

Good thing... really does... come to those... who wait...

For the love of the game....

This morning I received the long awaited text message from my brother, saying that my new glove has arrived. Like a teamate said, the new glove is waiting for the final game to arrive. Well it is here with me now, and I love every bit of it. Well I was fell in love with it the first time I saw it, even more the first time I touched it, and when I felt the nice skin, wow.... fireworks everywhere... heheh. Cost me BND$520 plus the tax, but for me it is not that expensive, not that I'm rich but to have seen it, feel it, I just know that it should be priced more. You know what, the Custom Glove, they really up to the tasks. They really mean what they said. I am really happy to have purchased this glove. Testimonials HERE.

Well ofcourse many will envy me. But its not the envy that makes me happy, I've been dreaming of having a customized glove since I played softball, there was one time that I painted my glove red, illegal you said, but by then nobody cares it was in the late eighties if it wasnt in the early nineties. All in all, I'm really happy about this glove, every single bit of it, really worth every single penny.

The luckiest ball to be the first caught by my new glove, a special mizuno 150, given to me as my birthday present. By who, well they know who they are :)

I really love it......

Gunners Vs Wanderers

The final was postponed till next weekend, but the game between Gunners and the Wanderers commenced yesterday afternoon, which in my opinion should be postponed as well, but who am I to say, reason for that is this game should be played in the morning, but postponed to the afternoon. Might have effect the mindset of the players.

The Gunners won the game 8-1 and take the final spot in the final against Zombies X. The Wanderers gave a good fight early in the game held tight, making every play but being the rising stars is one thing and not enough experiences is another, they lost their concentration in the 5th, making errors, and slowed recover from it. Congrats to the Gunners.

President's cup semi

PLK Zombies Y was up against the experienced Gunners while PLK Zombies X was against the Wanderers young rising stars. Different result in the end, Zombies Y played well in the first 5 innings, they even lead the game and held the Gunners firm. But a game was not only based on determination, their mental part of the game is still need to be fix, though the chance for them to fix it is still widely available. In the end the Gunners won 8 - 2.

The game between Zombies X and the Wanderers was a bit different. The Wanderers fielding their rising stars was a very good strategy. They were good in fielding and their batting was very impressive. Zombies X lead the game all the way though the Wanderers try to make a come back. But Zombies X held firm, and won the game 6 - 4. Well done to the PLK Zombies X, the final will be tomorrow. Good luck to The Gunners and Thne Wanderers, the winner will meet PLK Zombies X in the final.

The only pic I took using my camera phone, while I was base coaching... shhhhhh....

I took this pic, before he hit a bunt homerun, I wonder.... what will happen if I took all the Zombies Y players pic, will they hit a homerun? Not being superstitious am I? :)

Congrats G'amat, you are very lucky.....

Sunday The 17th Feb

Sunday... it was kinda judgement day for PLK Zombies X & Y and the Black Arrows, all three have to win their respective game. The X was up against the JAGs, X won the game 12-3. While B.A won against Zombies Y 13-4. All 3 teams won 2 game each, with same points gained, the runs for was taken into account. So in group A, top of the pile is PLK Zombies X, followed by the B.A, PLK Zombies Y and JAG.

All of them hold the catalyst bat, can u spot the differences? apart from the inner shirt, the knee guard and they arent brothers. A lunch treat for the right answer with the right reason. Oh btw each have one chance ;)

Looks the same, not brothers, play different teams, are they cloned?

Sunday The 10th Feb

The start of the President's cup second round yesterday, Sunday 10th, Both PLK Zombies X & Y played two games. PLK Zombies X won their first match against the Black Arrows while The Y won against the JAG. As for the X, they played well that morning, made zero error in fielding. Their batting meanwhile may not at best but it was something to be proud of. For the Y, I'm sorry I cant comment their game since I was busy with the X. Anyway the Arrows did well actually, but then again there must be only one winner/loser in a match.

The X mascot. I wonder who. Perhaps Loosing his mind.
So priceless.........

In the afternoon, The X vs Y, the Y won that match. Though many thought that it was supposed to be an easy game, it was actually set for no mercy type. The Y won it because they were very good in batting, while the X must have left their batting somewhere. Anyway congrats to Y for their best effort and strategy.

The 4 B's. Black Big Beauty Boynezzz.....

Sorry Boynez.......

Sleep late or woke up early, or.... too much Dim Sum MJ? ;)
