Baseball and life
Sometimes your big hitter comes up with a huge home run at the bottom of the ninth to win. Often though you need to amass the runs, fly balls, walks, men on base early on in the innings. Both methods work, unless you are too many runs down in the ninth. What innings am I in? Is it too late? Are none of my hitters on form?
There is no "recover post" button in real life is there?

I'm more of a compare hockey to life kind of person. I think the only comparison in base-ball is pitcher vs hitter. Awesome battle there.

you can alays stage a late inning rally and win
Remeber, even if you are only tied in the ninth, you just have to keep it up and get ahead in the tenth, eleventh...it's never too late.

HUnker down low in the batting box and you can get nailed by the pitcher -- then just take your base!
Baseball is, lulei demistafina, the most Torah-dikeh sport. After all, the Chumash begins, "In the Big Inning..."
More important, unlike other sports where once you are behind by a certain amount, it is difficult-to-impossible to recover, baseball allows the game to stretch on as long as necessary to get back the runs you need. Similarly, the Torah allows you the same leeway: "Yeish shekoneh olamo besha'a achas." In life it is never too late for a grand slam to win the game late.
On a practical level I find that I am re-evaluating and regretting my life only during those times that I am not doing what I should be doing CURRENTLY. If I get on track--despite past failures, missed opportunities, and years of my life I will never get back--I'm not depressed. I find this is true of most people. As contrarian as it sounds, regret only creeps in and festers when you are not getting it done NOW.
What the HECK is, lulei demistafina, GOING ON???
I am now showing up on several Blogs as "Unknown." I'll have you know, O Great and Mighty Blog Administrator, that I am very much KNOWN.
