The cold winter has many things at a standstill, but your intrepid manager and his friends aren't sitting idly. Instead we are actively recruiting, hoping to avoid the forfeits that plagued our forgettable 2008 season.
Last night Tracy, Trish Arena, and myself were at Emmett's Ale House, signing the new roster, and our new recruit Jessica Rainey joined us to introduce herself and to sign the roster as well. We had fun and tried to coax one of the patrons into playing, and while I left my number and email address, I think we struck out.
But we will try again, as a few of our legacy players have chosen to retire, and we need more fresh blood on the squad.
The Captains Meeting is on April 23, and at that time I'll receive the season schedule. It's likely to begin on Monday, May 4. Get ready!

Daman Express 14, Sloppy Joes 8 (but we scared them!)
Tonight we took another loss, this time to Daman Express, who have really turned a corner to become one of the better teams in the league. We were down 14-1 in the middle of the 5th inning, but we rallied for six runs to avoid a defeat by the slaughter rule, earning another inning.
But we couldn't finish the comeback and they prevailed. It was a good effort, and we have more to build on. That rally sure was fun!
For the next two weeks, Tracy and I will be in Australia. (You can follow along at our Escape From Summer 2008 blog.) Then on August 4 I'll be in San Francisco -- so you'll have to endure the next three games without my tutelage. Tracy O'Brien will man the clipboard in my stead, and my friends Rex and Cy will be around to help coach on the bases again. (Thanks guys!)
Next week's game is at 7:30 against Wendt Team -- let's get 'em.
