Latest From Leo - 7/10

Well boys last night was a loss but it was the best pitching duel I've seen played in the MSBL!  Jose, great job on the mound. I'm just sorry we couldn't get the bats to help you get a W instead.  I thought for sure the ball that Dustin whacked would be gone and tie the game but that's baseball.

Next up we play the Jets on Sunday July 14th at 1:00 pm at Memorial Park. We will be dressed in whites for Sunday's game with gold hats.  I've been told that we may see some changes to our schedule to help make up some of the rain outs.  Which means we may have a 3 game week coming up.  So I'm letting you know now.

I had Charlie, Chris and Dustin inform me that they will be out the last week of July for vacation.  Mark is going to be taking a leave for the next month to help his family take care of family member. 

Guys, you see now why I decided to carry such a large roster.  We've got guys on DL (4 to be exact), vacations (2 now and 3 to come, plus more), work schedules and life in general.  It will all work out in the long run.

See you guys at the ball park on Sunday!

 Four (4) game winning streak!  Way to go boys!  We are on a roll!  Lets keep it going next Sunday.

Great job and a real team effort to put a smack down on the Yankees!  I promise I will have the past five games logged in on stats program and get to you this week or Sunday at game.

For June, with one rain out our record stand at 4-3-1.  First place in our division and ready to take on the Colonels in our first game of July (7th - that is).  Remember this game is going to be played at Germantown (1 pm) and we will wear white uniforms.

I'm told there is a tournament going on at the park the same time we play.  So if asked about paying admission tell them at gate you are playing in the MSBL league and that and $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee!

We have few folks that will not be at this Sunday's game - Bobby, Brent and Scotty will be vacationing, not together because that would be wierd, right!  Brent and Scotty will also miss the Orioles game that next Tuesday following the Colonels game.

David Porta is recuperating from hernia surgery and on the DL for at least three weeks (team will not call up replacement from minors).  Get well Dave and get back as soon as you can.  Too, we still have Jackson, Juan and Brian on the DL.

I know a few of you guys have Insight email accounts and know that they have been transitioned to the Time Warner system.  My understanding is come July 7th you may need to have other access to email.  If you have changed your email address or about to, please be sure that I know so David S and I can keep up with you.  

I want to wish you all a safe and Happy 4th of July.  Take a moment on that day to remember those who have sacrificed so much so that we may enjoy our safety, our freedom and still get to play baseball at our age!  God Bless America!
