Glad to have you aboard!

Welcome aboard!

I just wanted to throw out a Happy Birthday wish to JFrancho! Hope you have a great day JF!

I was gonna suggest a VLOG, but who the h311 could understand him with the exception of maybe Rhino?

Welcome aboard!

Glad you're here!

Glad to have you aboard!

Thanks guys, much appreciated. There was a runner on first and 2 outs in the last inning and the batter hit the ball to the shortstop who made a really nice play, we were instructing "2, 2, 2, 2", meaning throw to second base. Well a slight bobble of the ball and over it went for a close play at second. It seemed like an eternity, both sides of the diamond quiet, you could hear a pin drop in the stands, finally, the ump yells "you're out!" The kids went wild, throwing their hats and gloves in air, the parents clapping as hard as you could imagine and it was like this collective exhale came out from everyone. I've been receiving some really nice text and e-mail messages the last couple of days. I guess I really didn't know how badly the kids really wanted to win or how bad team morale was. Oh well, the game on Friday has been cancelled due to the Holiday weekend, so we don't lace em up till Tuesday. Wish the boys luck!

Good question...LOL...I think we posted within seconds of each other.

And they didn't ask why are you pulling wire if you have a masters from MIT? Man you must be good at twisting nuts, both wire and human! LOL How long you think you can keep this one rolling? And BTW, use an irish accent in Boston, you'll blend in better.

And you were getting away with that story? And don't you think you talk weird to a person in Cambridge attending MIT! Alright, I'll come clean, I live 30 miles south of MIT and I can't figure out what they're saying!

Glad to have you here!

Welcome aboard, glad to have you!

Hey Chris, with only 2 years experience, I'm not sure we can let you in? Oh, what the heck, come aboard! Great to have you here!

Well the kids played their hearts out tonight and beat the best and undefeated team in the league. What a bunch of happy kids at the end of the game!

At breakfast, the husband says to his wife, “What would you do if I won the Lotto?” “I’d take half and leave you,” she says. “Great” he says. “Here $6. I won $12 yesterday! Stay in touch.”

Right now they're not ready to make a trip to the Astrodome to play the Bears...LOL

Nice to see these guys on their way up to the bigs huh MCS? You're right, you watch raw talent in the minor leagues and you watch them grow into, in some cases, all stars right before your very eyes. Really is a special thing to see. You wonder about the Marlins and why baseball just doesn't take down there. Year after year they roll out all this young talent, they get really good in the bigs and then they leave for free agency. Imagine if they could keep a core group they could be in the running year after year after year. Then you get a team like the Rays, year after year they're in the running and they can't even sell out the stadium in the playoffs. Makes you scratch your head.

Welcome aboard Gregg, glad to have you here and hopefully that fire keeps burning.

Welcome aboard!

After witnessing the Detroit Tigers absolutely demolish the Red Sox this weekend, I've come to the conclusion that these Tigers just may break the record for wins in a season...Yeah, they're that good!

Great post Maico1. It's all good with me. You're a respected member here and your opinion is always welcomed. Well, the kids are playing tonight and I'll be helping them out the best I can. If we can go 2 - 2 in the last 4 games, then I think we can restore some confidence back into the kids. Wish us luck, we'll need it!

Man, those look really good! Nice job with those Bud!

ROFL...That's funny! No, Dillon has no aspirations of pitching...LOL I have to coach now...I'm getting e-mails about it now...LOL

I hear ya Root, but politics in these sports gets ridiculus. My son missed the first 2 games this year cause he played for this coach last year and didn't want to play for him again. We're talking about 8 yo last year and 9 yo this year and kids are supposed to play all over the field, bat every where in the lineup and what happens, kid get buried in the outfield picking grass and dandy lions, some kids hit the crap outta the ball only to bat nineth and get skipped in the lineup so the the inner circle parents kids get more at bats and infield/fielding ops. I'm telling Root, I was a hellion growing up and loved to party, but I never puked in my mouth more until I witnessd this sorry scene.
