Season is Underway

Sorry that I haven't posted in a few weeks. On the opening weekend we played the Wanderers a rematch of last years finals. We lost game one and won game two. But the next day they said we cheated by using three foreigners, since Jake DH for me. The rules were written very vague, so you could have taken it either way. Now we are on our second protest about the ruling. So with the rule being unclear I get to hit in games until a decision is made. In week two of the season we took on the Metrostars. In game one Clemens threw well and we got the win. In the second game I felt like I threw well but I had a throwing error on a come backer that allowed the go ahead run to score. So we ending up losing that game and I put that on me for making that error. In week three we were played the Cubs 4 times in three days since we had to move the games so guys on my team can go to some concert. Since we had to move it it put us in a tough spot. That's a lot of pitching needed in a short time. The first game was a slugfest and we lost 12-9. Wayne started the second game and had 18 strikeouts but it wasn't enough, we lost 4-2. So on that Saturdays our home opener they were calling for rain and it did. It pretty much rained the entire game. It was a drizzle the whole time. Just that annoying rain. We had to stop the game twice to fix it and try to make it playable again. Which is difficult here since they don't have quick dry for the dirt. We won the game 14-4 in 8 innings. It looked like they were running low on pitching. So to get the field dry for the second game, they poured gas on the dirt and lit it on fire. I personally have never seen this but it worked really well. The mound was in really good shape, a lot better then game one. So the umpires let us get ready about to take the field and said they were calling the game. They said it was unplayable due to the gasoline smell on the ground. Which was absolutely ridiculous. I was pretty upset they let us get ready then called it. You could tell the cubs didn't want to play since they had no pitching left. So we have to make the game up at a later date. This Saturday we play the A's at their field, which I am excited about since they stream the game over the Internet so people back home can watch it. I hope everyone has a great week and remember to keep God first and he will never give you more then you can handle.
