So we weathered another holiday time, and ushered in the first game of 2009. In between Xmas and NYE we managed an abbreviated game, in the form of Caracas 5, a game from the old days. However, this past Sunday was a tip to the harkened old days, 19 players, and a day full of sunshine.
I am happy to say that Mr. Paige as well as his match on the bump, Noah, threw complete games to open this year, and crafty they were at times...however it was a team effort as usual.
Particulars aside, it was a ground ball kind of day, and I was happy to see everyone of them. The days off were nice for the shoulder, but the back is still on vacation I think, or at the least, still suffering from a holiday hangover.
Highlights of the game:
-Six double plays attempted, four achieved for the day
-A great catch when I needed it from John Carey, keep it up!
-Noah's slider change that managed to screw me and Mitch up all day
-Greg's digs of wayyyyy too many balls in the dirt
-Gaspar, for providing the scouting report and going the extra distance
- Adam, for showing up after another time under the knife, and managing hits and a amazing defensive play
In the end though, it was just another Sunday, in the never ending season.
A side note to all those involved:
Remember when playing that we're all out here for fun, if your aggressiveness increases the chances of injuring a player and inhibiting his ability to make it out next Sunday, chances are, it's too aggressive.
Get Well Soon Johnny!
Yours Humbly,
S. Paige
