Season Opener
Quite a weekend of softball as I competed in nine different games over opening weekend. Saturday started with a win over my former team, Fat Chops, and ended by getting spanked by our local competitor, Harkin. We ended up playing four games and will be battling both of the teams all season.
On Sunday we started with a win over Harkin but then lost two close games as my terrible error in the last game sent us home from the tourney. Then I headed to Bristol to find the games running 2 hours behind schedule, so after 2 swings drove over the bridge to Barrington and closed out the night with an extra inning loss.
Incredible at bat and home run by Big Papi last night, especially because it was against former Sox lefty Mike Myers who NY signed to specifically get Ortiz out. The man is money and I’m sure Gay-rod would give his right arm for just one clutch hit. Other interesting items: Bronson Arroyo is now 5-0 for the Reds; Miguel Tejada already has 44 hits; Nomar hit a game winning Grand Slam last week; Edgar Renteria has a 16 game hitting streak;
Bottom line regarding yesterday is that changing the law, that many generations of immigrants have lived by, is wrong and amnesty is not an option. The Providence “rally for illegals” was put together by organized labor hoping for a chance to get their fingers on money they can’t touch right now. Of course The Taliban Times (where all terrorists go for America’s secrets) had a different take and want to convince the uninformed that a majority of the country wants to change the law.
