Darn ... we lost tonight.
The Fresno State Bulldogs, the cinderella team, played the Georgia Bulldogs tonight in Omaha, Nebraska.
Since we lost tonight, we have to win tomorrow to have a chance. Whichever team wins 2 of 3 games is the National College Baseball Champions. We have already made the record books by being the lowest ranked team to ever make it to the Championship Games.
Even if we lose tomorrow, this team has gone further than anyone ever imagined they would go. Fresno is proud of them.
I guess they’re showing it on one of the ESPN channels?
I don’t have cable anyway, just wondering.
Go Fresno State Bulldogs!!!
Underdogs are my favorite kinds of teams.
I must share my greatfulness with all my FRiends, here.
Today, I took a good friend to Flagstaff for an emergency doctor’s appointment. It turned out she had a huge hematoma from surgery she had two weeks ago, and the doc had to remove it. She should do better very soon.
The ride home proved to be a very close call. The canyon is two lanes only, and goes from 4,500 feet altitude to 7,600 feet in just 25 miles. There are cliffs and thousand foot drops, with constant sharp curves and switch-backs. There is no where to pull over. Elk and deer are known to jump right onto the ‘highway’, in front of oncoming cars, and it is a ride to take with extreme caution.
About two thirds down, as I rounded a switch-back, a large truck crossed the double yellow, and was heading straight for my car. It was either be hit head-on, or run into the cliff on my right. I threw the steering wheel to the right, and low and behold, there was a rare but welcome ditch and a couple feet of off-road space. I hit the ditch and the rare couple feet of ‘unused’ sand and gravel; the truck missed me by probably an inch, and a head-on crash was averted.
With my heart in my throat - I realized it’s not my time yet. I am so thankful that I can still come to Amy’s Place, and read all the great posts, click on to the wonderful Power Point Presentations, see all the beautiful pictures and graphics, and savor the stories and poetry.
Not one of us knows when our time will come - and we should consider being greatful for every moment we have on this beautiful earth. Hugs to each and every one of you! ~yorkie
