Practice at Tamanawis.

It was a fairly uneventful practice until close to the end. A certain second baseman was having a tough time in the field, with groundballs tipping off the end of his glove that some say would have been in his back pocket last year. He was understandably angry when he began to take BP, and this anger only intensified after he swung through the first pitch. He basically lost it. Then with his neck muscles bulging, his face turning red, and his mouth struggling to contain the growing amount of foam, he ripped a line drive so hard that the ball literally exploded.

In other news, it was my first practice of the year, and it seems obvious to me that what was missing from the team is now back. Just one man's opinion.

We was rained out on opening day. No actual precipitation at game time, but there had been enough wetness in the days and weeks leading up to the grand event that playing the game would've meant destroying both the turf, and, more importantly, our precious cleats. Plus our toes would've gotten a little chilly. You don't want our toes to get chilly do you?

Make-up game is scheduled for 4pm, Sunday April 23rd at Unwin. It's sure to be a doozy. Do us a favor, s'il vous plaît: do a sun dance every morning this week. We sure would like to get our season started.

Update - 8:40pm.
We have intercepted an email that contained the following information: Unfortunately we aren’t able to field a team next Sunday to play the makeup so it will have to wait until later in the season. At least 6 of us are unable to attend.

We know what you're thinking.. should I still do a sun dance every morning this week? Well, it's up to you. But you should know that we will still be doing them. The sooner all of the fields are dry the better; after all, we also have to practice on them.
