Guys -
Another
classic between the Pirates and Senators! I don't know what it is but
these games make it ok to lose (naw, I hate to lose) to a good group of
fellas.
David P, I feel bad that we
can't seem to wiggle out a win for you buddy. You pitch a great game,
just needed a little more run support from our bats. For that I'm sorry
we didn't help. Our defense was stellar again and it just came down to
them getting more runs than us - right Chris!
Next
game is Sunday against the Colonels at 4:30 p.m. at Memorial. Please
wear your whites. Jose', Scotty and Rich will return and Charlie and
Dustin head out for vacation so we will be missing them. Jackson and
Chris may or may not be able to play depending on work.
Couple
of things coming up. We have three rain outs - Dodgers, Colonels and
Wolves. According, to Dave Allison he is going to look at schedule and
most likely we will not make up the Dodger game but we will make the
other two since it may affect the standings on our side of the division.
However, these games may be made up on those dates that we have the
upcoming younger team games scheduled for. WTF! I will have a conversation with Dave on Sunday so let's not get wound around the axle just yet.
Next
Tuesday Aug. 5th at Germantown (vs Wolves) Mark has invited a few of
his rehabilitation patients and some co-workers to come out and cheer on
the Pirates. They will have their own transportation and medical staff
to help them. I ask that we be at the ready to assist anyway we can.
Too, I plan to have a few extra new balls for us to sign so that we can
give to them as parting gifts. Let's call it Nursing Home Night! No.
How about, Bring Your Patients Night! Naw, REHAB Night!
Too,
Mark has a contact in the Terre Haute 50+ MSBL that has asked if we'd
be interested in playing in a home and away doubleheader. I've said yes
and details will be forthcoming.
Fall Ball - Right now
I'm told there is two divisions. An 18+ and 50+ division. I asked
about a Pirates team coming in as a team and was told all have to be 50+
to play in the 50+ division. That makes me think we should then either
play 18+ (I have two sons who would like to play) or maybe play just
match-ups against the Senators (who want to face better than what was
the 50+ last year). Or have two fall teams one 18+ team and 50+ team,
then those who want to play for one or the other or both can then
decide.
More to come. See you Sunday!
