"The only thing worse than a Mets (P&W) game is a Mets(P&W) double header." -Casey Stengel

Our first double header for the season. The first game was rough due to just a bad couple of innings, however, we played the entire second game. This is progress. Here are the highlights. Robert pulled a muscle taking one for the team but in order to compensate for his unusual slow running pace, he hit the ball even further. He also did a stellar job covering CF and did a great job as pitcher. Loved those first fake pitches to throw off the batter! Steve felt the aftermath of using his legs for running instead of his arms for throwing. Even for Steve, he made some remarkable plays in the field and (per usual) hit a home run! Also a homerun hero, Todd knocked it out of the park in addition to making some phenominal plays in LF. Steph sustained an injury while at bat when the rules got to complicated for her to find a sub batter. Only to find out she has a broken bone in her hand and is out of commission for the rest of the season, we will miss her athletic prowess and team spirit but she will still come to cheer us on and will heal for next season. Genay had a fabulous catch in CF and hit the ball like she wasn't going to see it again. Rachel also hit the ball well and also did some great fielding by getting the ball back in quickly. We are always in awe of Michael's arm because, he too, knows how to throw a ball back into play. Tim corrected an error demonstrating that we need to never give up - his follow through helped get the batter out at first! Kelly's repenting last week left her a bit rusty on the lead-off rules but she did a great job at fielding and hitting the ball. Jeff's final game left him going out in a bang as he did a great job stopping the ball in the field. Drew did his usual magic when he pitched and had some great hits. Kyle hit the ball well and her speed served as a fan for cooling off the opposing team because she made them work so hard at getting her out. Shari made some great plays at 3B including a miraculous line drive catch! And, finally, Rachel will kill me if I don't include this one. The opposing team used their psychic powers to start heading in from the field after 2 outs. Apparently they got to a point where they were over confident about their ability to get the 3rd out....especially when I was at bat. It's off the batting cages!

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but rising every time we fall"

A rough one last Friday night. Here are the highlights: Mega-hitter Michael was responsible for the only Run Batted In! Kewl Kyle came so close making it to first as she ran the fastest I'd ever seen her speedy legs run. Spitfire Steph did a great job at 1B. Terrific Tim pounded the ball out to right field. Raving Rachel made it on base twice. Dazzeling Drew pitched awesome. Sassy and savvy Shari covered short center. Jumpin' Jeff ran fast and furious. Glorious Genay was great at trying to get those homeruns in right field. Twisting Todd made some great stops at short. Bouncing Bill made his usual magnificent catches. And finally, Jewish Julie who sinned by playing on Yom Kippur is going to hell.

Although we endured a tough loss last Friday, I think we are all pretty optimistic that we have the ability to win big. It's just a matter of time. Until then, we are all having fun. Here are the highlights. Ensuring that Parks and Wrecks did not leave with a goose egg, Tim scored our only run. Classy catcher Kyle is on a t-shirt escapade so that we will be all stylin' and matching this Friday. Don't forget your $21 for her! Roberto rushed to get to his post on time yet only to find he was subbing out for the first half as the capt anticipated a late arrival and made an emergency plan. He did a great job striking several Big Shot's out. Shari didn't have as much action during her game #2 in the field but she hit the ball far and hard. A warm welcome to newest male player, Drew, who did an excellent job pitching and hitting. Kelly's killer catch at short center had the fans go wild. Jeff played a challenging game at 1B very well. P&W inaugurated Stephanie by challenging her to play infield and outfield positions during her first game. She did a great job at both! Steve's unstoppable fielding at shortstop was awe-inspiring per usual. He also ran the bases faster than I drive. Also making her debut, Rachel had a great game at 3B. Out in left field with the family cheering for him in the stands, Todd made some great catches and got the ball quickly back into play when needed. Genay was on fire during inning 3, as she was responsible for 2 amazing catches shortening up the inning. We are the home team playing WTPA this Friday @ 9:45pm. See you out there! -Julie
