Tonight's game is at 6:45pm and I plan to grab a practice field at 6:00pm. Don't let the fact that we are playing a new team get you overconfident. I was not able to scout their game last week but I did do some sleuthing over the last few days.
Last week, the Bombers scored 7 runs in a losing effort against Miller Time, which was their first game ever. Last year, Miller Time, one of the best teams in the league, slaughtered us by pitching a shutout. So the fact that a rookie team scored so many runs is impressive. According to my two sources, Trouter and the umpire for the MT/Bomber game, the Bombers have not played together before but the team is made up of a number of good athletes. With their ability, they will have a quick learning curve especially after last week's lesson.
Lastly, the reason Trouter knows some of these guys is because a few of them live about 1 mile north of us in a place he affectionately calls K-Town. Trouter can't make the game tonight because he is coaching his daughter's Trevian team but hopes to celebrate a Wilbilly victory over his fellow neighbors after the game. Let's send them back to the practice fields at Sears School.
PS: I have attached a picture of Trouter in case any Cougars do not remember what he looks like and you see a strange man walking around the postgame. It was taken a while ago but like a good teammate he is wearing a Cougar green half shirt.
