Lock him up...

Well, since the rain has kept us from playing any meaningful softball this year, let's talk alittle nfl draft shall we.  This is who we need....  Your thoughts?  Post comments below...

"In his final 2011 NFL mock draft, Kiper has Locker back in the top-half of the first round. From what we've seen in the past few days, it appears Locker may be destined to come off the board when the Washington Redskins pick at No. 10 or the Minnesota Vikings pick at No. 12. Kiper agrees with the latter assessment and has Locker heading to Minnesota with the 12th pick, though he hints the Vikings may trade down with the belief Locker may still be around in the No 16 to No. 20 range."

Or should it be Andy Dalton??

He sounds promising except for his red hair....
Red hair is a Red Flag

Chocolate Rain

Update 2:  The games were moved to the July 5th slot.

Update:  Just recieved an email... games are cancelled.  She will let us know when we are making them up later...  See you next week.

If I may steal a line from the Dereks favorite song...

Some stay dry and others feel the pain.  Chocolate Rain.

It is not looking good... they haven't officially called the games yet, but it will happen.  The rainout line says call back at 3:00...I will post official word then.  I am not sure when they will make up the games...In my opinion it would be smart to just slide the whole schedule back a week and extended the season.  But they will probably try to cram the games in on a day when half our team is out of town...  We'll see.  Later.

Tourney Recap

It was cold out there.  The rain wrapped up just before game time...but out of the 7 hours we were there, the sun came out for a total of 8 minutes...   Regardless, we got off to a great start.  A home run from Tom and 2 triples from Brian got our offense going.  We ended up winning the first round game 15-10.  2 hours later (and about 2 cases later) we were on the field against Jet Black (otherwise known as the New York Yankees).  I think they hit a total of 8 home runs.... luckily 6 of those were for outs.  Every ball was absolutely crushed... and our bats cooled off.  It was never close. The first game was alot more fun.  Final Score:7-18.  Moving on to the losers bracket we got the team that lost a tight close one to Jet Black in the first round. Our cold bodies started out slow and a bad first inning put us in a hole that we tried to claw our ways out off..  we were fighting to score runs to keep the game going...and did manange to make it to the 7th... but it was never close.  Final Score: 16-26.

Overall everyone had a good time.  The beer went down smooth and it was alot of fun swinging the sticks.  If the weather Saturday would have been more like this Sunday it would have been an absolute blast.  Everything was well organized and it will be fun to get back out there in May with the full squad and see what we can do.  Thanks to everyone who came out and played... it was fun.
