Re-calculating

Stuff happens. Doing our very best we can’t always prevent it. As the saying goes, it’s not what happens to you, it’s what you do next.

JJ Putz, the best closer in the American League, is on the 15 day disabled list. Bad news for the Mariners. However, it’s wasted energy to dwell on the injury or write the season off just yet.

Instead, the M’s take a lesson from my GPS when we turn “off plan.” Both immediately re-calculate the best path to the intended destination from where we currently are, not where we used to be.
