Three Losses and Calm

On Friday night, the Rivercats lost the third game of the PCL championships to the Memphis Redbirds by a convincing score, they were swept. That ended our quest for a three-peat of the PCL championship at two and a half-peat. During the regular season we played them four times - in August - and won three out of four of the games. One would have expected that we would sweep through the series, but we did not. I was on a boat in the San Juan Islands during the game and so was forced to endure this rather painful loss via internet updates with only the slowest internet connection on my iPhone.

Then came Saturday. The Trojans were playing Washington. SC always seems to have a problem in the Pacific Northwest. This year it was Washington - who just last week ended a 15 game losing streak. Washington happened to choose to continue their now two game winning streak against USC. They won in the last few minutes of the game 16-13. True, the new coach of Washington is Steve Sarkasian, who just last year moved from SC to a head coaching job. I am glad for Sarkasian, he is a class guy.

Saturday night after we had gotten back to Sacramento, we stopped by our son's team (The Christo Rey Saints) game (our son is an assistant coach) and they were playing horribly against an opponent that won the league last year.

And you wonder how I can be so calm? Look at what we saw in Canada and in the San Juans.
