Big Fish Recap 2/4/10 - Win One For The Gipper

Strike First, Strike Hard, And No Mercy. The New and Improved Cobra Kai took the field this past Friday after a one week hiatus to celebrate their favorite First Baseman’s Nuptials. Well, the Team never looked so focused and dialed in as we did Friday as we actually batted through the line-up 3 times in the first inning.

“In all my years of playing I have never seen a team so in the zone at the plate as we were Friday, right from the start we were mashing the ball even the old man Spragues recorded his first double and Sully was bashing it” Said the Swami whom once again set the pace with his feverish attack at the plate.
The Cobra Kai were up 14-0 after the first inning. Needless to say the game was called within another inning when we battled through the line-up twice in the second and were up 22-0.

A game like that reminds me of a great Zen Masters words: “The wolf is only as strong as the pack, and the Pack is only as strong as the Wolf.” As on this night the entire pack came together and we were absolutely unstoppable.
However, there was a greater sense of purpose on this night besides Victory. We were playing for our Friend, teammate, and pack member Spragues. Just before the game our rock at 2nd base announced to the team he was taking a medical leave of absence for the next few weeks and was going into a different battle, one that would still require his teammates help but not on the field. This rallied the team around Spragues and we are eagerly awaiting his return Feb. 19th. Until then the team will keep him in our thoughts and prayers and will do just what he told us before he left Gators Friday night.

“I’m not much for big speeches but all I will say is exactly what Adrian told Rocky once……Win, Cobra Kai…..Win! And, to borrow another famous quote……I’ll Be Back.”

And Back he will be but until then we play for Spragues and it all starts this Friday night against the Swim N Fun.

As, I reminded Sprauges:
Fear Does not Exist in this Dojo!Pain Does Not Exist in this Dojo!Defeat Does Not Exist in this Dojo!

Thus Friday February 19th will mark Spragues return and our unblemished record will make him proud as we journey together towards a Championship.
Good Luck Spragues, we look forward to a safe and speedy recovery Buddy!
See the rest of you under the Friday Night Lights!
