Porta Post-Op

Hey guys- had the surgery and I guess it went well.  Went home and began clearing trees from my property... Then realized I was actually passed out in my bed.  Oxycodone- gooood.  Probably out 3 weeks.  

   Continue the streak!!!!!!

Holy Cow!

The Pirates are on a winning streak!  3 games to be specific and ready to make it four with a meeting this Sunday against the Yankees, 1:00 pm at Clarksville Little League Park. 

We will be dressed in white uniforms for Sunday's game.  You guys getting the pattern down, yet?

Great game last night boys!  John D, great job getting the complete game win.  We had the bats come alive and the defense was pretty awesome.  Mark Ferguson - catch of the night (sorry Chris yours was good too)!

I apologize to Rich and Rick for not getting you guys an at-bat last night.  I screwed up and lost track of innings.  I will make it up to you both.

I need to know a couple things so please let me know so I can make note of it because if I don't write it down I have a hard time remembering.

1. I need to know who will not be at game on Sunday other than David and Rick.

2. Would you guys be able to play on Tuesday July 2nd? If we were able to make up our rain out w/(Orioles).  We are about only team with a single game rain out, not sure we'll play just need to know how many so I can report to David A - yes or no.

3. I am being reminded of vacations dates.  Do me a favor and let me know your dates so I can plan accordingly.

Last but not least lets hear it for Jose' and his great coaching job getting the Pirates on the winning track (Fire Leo!).

Well Boys -

 

I guess you call that an old fashioned ass whipping!  Gotta say we looked terrible and nothing would go our way.  You saw, I saw, the rest of the world saw it - we sucked!

 

But that was only one game and we have 20 more games to play.  So lets put this one behind us and let's learn from the mistakes and move on.  The only thing I still see us needing major inprovement is we have to get guys on base and then move them over and score more runs than the other guy!  So guys lets be patient at the plate lets get good pitches to hit and lets have some fun.

 

The DL list is growing.  Doc Juan is out for the season!  Ouch!  He has a tear in his calf muscle right behind his knee.  Jackson is still out with a shoulder issue.  Brian is out with shoulder as well, but is contemplating a return to hit and run bases only.

 

Guys, this Thursday I will not be at game due to travels out of town for work.  Jose will be in charge of line up and corraling you knuckleheads.  Is there anyone else who can not make the game on Thursday other than me and the guys on DL.  If you can not make let me know and I will pass on to Jose or email him or text him.  Too, I will not make it on Sunday either due to my Mom and Dad are celebrating 60 years of wedded bliss and the family is gathering.  So again, Jose will be in charge and let me know if you can't make Sunday game.

 

We got a good group folks.  We're still along way from finishing the season.  So lets keep it going and keep swinging and the hits will fall for us, too!

Fellas -

Tough loss last night!  We battled a much improved and last year's champion team last night to a one run loss.  I'd hate losing but one run is better than a blowout!  

Good job getting us deep in the game Jose.  Brent good effort trying to hold on.  Scotty as always great job behind the dish.  Also had a great job with the infield effort all away around.  Couple outfield mistakes and we maybe pull the game out.  But hey that's baseball and we'll get another crack at them later on.

Also may have to take Charlie's advice and flip the batting line-up!  Us at the top didn't do so well, but you folks following us, did a great job of keeping us in the game.  

Boys we are now down two players from the original 20 on the roster.  Brian has blown out his shoulder again!  Did it during the Dodgers scrimmage and will not be playing this year.  He will still be on roster and help coach bases.  Too, Mark Ferguson, will not be playing this year due to a family issue with his sister and he needs to concentrate on taking care of her. 

Sunday (6-9-13) we take on the Thunder at 4:30 pm at Memorial in Jeffersonville.  We wear white uniforms on Sunday with gold hat.

I know right now that Bobby will not be at game due to family commitment.  Is there anyone else who can not make Sunday's game?  Let me know asap.  Otherwise, see you on Sunday!
