Anyway, I hit pretty well (probably close to .700) but blew a chance to win the last game with a runner on second and two outs by not getting a hit. Crap. Though I made some plays in the field, I also made some bad errors. Our entire team did actually. We haven't been as sharp defensively since our 15-0 tournament start. In four games I played 3b, 1b, middle infield and then back to 3b.
For you Cubbie fans out there, you have heard about Ron Santo's comments during the recent Astros series. Apparently this fan was holding up a sign and it just happened to block poor Ron's vantage of home plate. Boy did it irritate him. At one point he talked about going down there and punching the guy!! And this is on the radio!!! When the guy leaves in the 8th inning as the game is in hand, Ron says something to the effect of "Yeah, good night. Sorry to see you go." Too funny. Cubs won 7-2. I was at guitar class so I didn't hear any of it or watch the game on TV. Here's some pics though:
Perfect shot of what Ron saw. He really got worked up!
Apparently he could hold the sign by either end. Too funny.

You mentioned the cold weather but you forgot to mention the HEAT. And then the cold...again.
Balancing the right load of competition so a team doesn't peak too soon is always a delicate art. It's very easy -especially with amateurs - to get peopole burned out.
that sign is HILARIOUS. Almost as good as the shock that the cubs are doing well again. My (only) cubs girl friend told me and I said "no. I don't believe you." I guess this is their 100 year or something?
100 years of futility and near misses. Ugh. They're doing well, but the stats are skewed by their 7-2 record against Pittsburgh who is a essentially a perennial minor league team.
And the weather HAS been screwy here. Freaking March weather today. Ugh.
A delicate balance indeed el supremo. Nobody is paid to manage our team, so I appreciate the effort. This weekend's event seemed somewhat unnecessary though.
