Baseball

I've played recreation baseball for years and this year decided to take a stab and try out for my school team. I MADE JUNIOR VARSITY! I'm actually the starting 2B! I'm batting 9th, but that's okay with me. I stole two bases in the first game of the year! Of course our team sucks, we got beat 19-15 (yeah no defense) the first game, and lost 15-4 in the second game. Oh well. The idea is to try to improve, right?

I'm also playing fantasy baseball for the first time this year. My draft is tonight. I have no idea what I'm doing, but hey, gotta start somewhere. I'm going to cheat and have a baseball nut help me out with the online draft. I'll post my roster on here when the draft is finished.

The Indians sure got pounded last night in their first game. Cliff Lee stunk. Once again we're gonna see the Indians hopeful season turn out to be a disaster. I still have no idea why they traded away so much talent in the past 3 years. If they had kept everyone around they would dominate the AL Central.

On the upside, the Indians AAA team this year is our own Columbus Clippers! FOUR Central Ohio guys are starting for them this year. And all four are elders of the Saints of America. I actually should say they are four guys who help found the Saints of America! Wait until opening day, the stadium will be packed with about 1000 Saints of America members. TV last night mentioned that opening day will be the largest crowd ever for a Clippers opening day. Gee, I wonder why! It's gonna be great to see people I know playing AAA baseball this year!
