Juulie,

You are no doubt correct. And I'm pretty sure that I agree with Larry 99.99999999%. But his exact words were

Quote:
Every game should be view as the most important game you will ever call.

My reply reflects your comments, I think, Juules:

Quote:
I agree that you should view the game as your job and do the best job that you can in that game. View it as the most important game to the kids at that moment. They deserve your undivided attention and your best effort.

The emphasized part above is pretty much what I think you're saying Juulie. I was only taking issue with the "most important game ever" phrasing. The game is important to the kids; but that doesn't make it the most important game I will ever call. The point is miniscule and entirely besides the main -- and truly important -- point that Larry was trying to make. I only made the distinction to comment on how I attack my games.

Chuck
