"I Love It When a Plan Comes Together"

One of the most well known quotes of the 20th century. Uttered by the leader of a band of renegades destined to help those in need. Usually said when the job was done and justice prevailed. Hannibal Smith, colonel of the A-Team, would say this phrase after saving another poor soul from the clutches of evil. I watched this show dutifully every night it was on and enjoyed seeing them put together ways to beat the bad guys day in and day out.

Well, last night was like the A-Team. It was one of those games when the script was written to perfection and we executed the plan. Our #1 ace threw 8 innings with over 5 strikeouts and only gave up one run. Our defense was solid, making every routine play. We had timely hitting, scoring more runs than the other team. Our closer came in the 9th inning and shut the door picking up another save and extending our winning streak to three and winners of 8 of the last 9 games, with this 3-1 victory over league foe, the Topeka Golden Giants. It was just like you draw it up and one of those game that coaches like to be a part of. You let the game take care of itself, you let the players play, and the win happens.

I love it when a plan comes together!
