A few housekeeping notes...
First, and most importantly, I need all of you to send me an email with your status for tomorrow night's game. Are you in, out or on the DL. This will help me with the lineup so we do not forfeit and I can schedule equal playing time tonight and over the long haul.
The game is at 6:45 so we can be there early to warmup on one of the fields. I will be there by 6:00 or 6:15.
We play the Brown Stars who are 0-2 and also who lost to Walter Keefe 15-1 last week. Good defense should help us get a victory. Keep the ball in front of you at all positions and don't make that extra throw. Cutoff men and other infielders can help with this by yelling out the base to throw to, which is usually second base. Otherwise our adrenaline will have us throwing it over the backstop and the runners will take the extra base leaving us without a force out. It is rare that we will make a successful tag out - it is too difficult in 16".
Our final official score last week that was posted on the website was down to 35-1 from 38-1, so we have that going for us. Our comical score coupled with a kid bedtime-friendly start has tickets for tomorrow night's game almost sold out. Wives and children will be rooting us on and we can't let them down. Ignoring the advice from the "Marriage for Dummies" book I was given at our wedding, I will not be taking my lovely wife out for a birthday dinner tomorrow night. Rather, I have invited her to the game and told her that if she leads some cheers, then maybe I would offer her a postgame beer.
Speaking of beers, Mr. Danielsen - you are up on the alphabetical list for postgame beverages. We will most likely have a few in the left field picnic area of Field 2, which is also commonly referred to as the Washington Street alley.
Lastly, a few years ago the headline in a WSJ center story was "My Tivo Thinks I'm Gay." Well, my current headline would be "Gmail Thinks I'm a Young Stud Looking for an Older Woman." You see, Gmail is free because they post ads to the right of your email. The ads are based on the text in each specific email. Well, it turns out a cougar is not only a cougar but is also refers to an older woman, usually in her 40s-60s who pursues younger men in their 20s or early 30s. I must give thanks to Wikipedia and dateacougar.com for this information. The upside of this is that I learned the "half-your-age-plus-seven" rule for socially acceptable relationships. Backing into this for Melchiorre, Dave can date someone who is 90. Sweet.
