Took a half day yesterday to go with Kindra and her boss to an Indians game, it looked like balls out rain all the way until the point I got there, and then the sun came out ( Read more... )

This week was not as disheartening as last week. We fielded "ok" but we weren't able to get anything going offensively. Bad bats. Our error prone infield could take some of the heat for this too. Bad throws to first, second, grounders biffed and laterals thrown in the outfield... oh well. Final score was 14 - 3. We lost by the 10 run rule in ( Read more... )

CROM.

I am more excited about the post game... SPACE MOTHER FUCKING OPERAS AND WHISKEY!

My shoulder was wrecked last week... I may or may not play this week.

New team chant. "7 full innings, No MERCY!"

Team Secrets:
