Chicago White Sox have Chance to Finish Season in Style
The Chicago White Sox went from slightly disappointing going into the month of June to a full fledge fire sale by the end of July. Their chance at anything other than absolute last place seemed gone as did a few of their best players. Something funny has happened since that time however. It's fairly well documented that they have played better since the MLB trade deadline at the end of July than they did all season before that. Their 14 – 10 August isn't exactly a match for the month the Los Angeles Dodgers had but it is very respectable.
If there is a word that many probably figured no one would use to describe any part of the White Sox season it is respectable. Not only is it very possible that they can continue playing well and be respectable but they could also climb out of last place in the American League Central division. That might sound sarcastic but I am dead serious. What better way for a team that has been terrible all season to proclaim their talent for next season by putting someone else beneath them before season's end?
They are only three games behind the Minnesota Twins for fourth place so it is a very real possibility. It appears that the moves they have made were actually as good for the immediate future of the ball-club. There have been smiles on faces in the dugout again and a positive atmosphere around the post game news conference. What a difference winning makes in the attitude around a baseball team.

This song is the EP title
track, and we think it represents the album really well. Full of synth beats,
this slow-building anthem will be stuck in your noggin all day. It's super
catchy, and after the third listen, we can't help but sing along.
"Fallin' For You"
This song has more of a rock
sound to it than the rest of the EP, which shows how surprisingly versatile R5
is. We heart the line, "You like mismatched socks with polka dots, you like
your pizza cold, I think that's hot." This tune is all about falling for a girl
who's a bit different, but totally genuine. Think you fit the bill?
"I Want You Bad"
While we love the whole EP,
this track has gotta be our fave. It was just made for dancing. Just take this
line, for example: "I'm in love with someone else's girl, you rock my world,
but you're the one that I can't have." It tells the story of wanting to be with
the one person R5 can't have—their best friend's girlfriend! Hey, if this band
can make even a sticky situation like this into a lighthearted and catchy tune,
we're all for it.
"Here Comes Forever"
This song starts off with an
edgy and basic beat before the chorus sets in with lines like, "Here comes that
movie scene, one you think is so cliché, that moment when we kiss by the lake,
pouring rain." Umm, we don't care if it's cliché, we'll totally take it. There
are even lines as cute as "Let's grow old together, here comes forever, girl."
Yes, please!
You may know Ross from Austin & Ally and Riker from Glee, but we're pretty confident that
you'll come to know the entire R5 gang pretty well this year. Their music is
awesome and is bound to make them very successful.
After grabbing the EP, make
sure to keep your eye out for new spring and summer tour dates for this hot new

Visited during a business trip. It's a great pub with a good atmosphere and plenty of history. In addition, there are live music nights and friendly staff. The menu is standard pub grub, with plenty of choice and the kitchen seemed flexible to specific requirements.
Rather than cook we decided to go for a meal. We decided on the Dufferin, somewhere we hadn't been in a couple of years. We discovered they do a special Mon to Thurs with a glass of wine. Thoroughly recommend.
Brilliant atmosphere, music and food. Weekend specials differ each weekend. Really delicious. Thanks for a great time. Best guiness in NIreland. Staff so friendly and helpful. Musicians and singers amazing.
Hugely disappointing visit. Food was awful. Steak was ridiculously small and thin. Better chips in McDonald's. Chicken was dry tasteless, rubbery, and the presentation was bland. Looked like a big orange lump. If you are in this area stop for a pint maybe. Don't eat. Drive onto Balloo House a few miles up the road where food is so much... More

I absolutely love this place for a bite to eat. The specials change on a daily basis and everything is cooked from fresh (which is really important to me). The seafood chowder is in a league of its own. Full of fresh fish and flavour. The staff are always so friendly and attentive. Keep doing what you're doing guys.
I was raised in Killyleagh and have spent many a good night and eaten many a nice meal in this restaurant. Treating my daughter and her fiance to dinner for her birthday i decided to revisit the Dufferin for sunday lunch, I ordered the roast beef dinner and my wife ordered a cod dish, The veg was standard sunday veg,...

Ahmedabad: A petition has been filed by self-styled godman Asaram Bapu and his son Narayan Sai in the Gujarat High Court seeking quashing of the complaints of sexual assault filed against them by two Surat-based sisters.
"We have filed a petition seeking quashing of complaints filed against Asaram Bapu and son Narayan Sai," said their lawyer advocate Yatin Oza.
The petition is likely to come up for hearing in a few days. Asaram, 72, is currently lodged in Jodhpur jail in connection with another sexual assault case while the whereabouts of Sai are not known.
Surat police had recently registered two complaints - one against Asaram and another against son Narayan Sai - of rape, sexual assault, illegal confinement and other charges.
The elder of the two sisters has accused Asaram of repeated sexual assaults between 1997 and 2006 when she was living in his ashram here.
The younger sister has accused Sai of repeated sexual assaults between 2002 and 2005 when she was living in Asaram`s Surat ashram.
City police have approached a Jodhpur court to seek custody for Asaram in the present case while Surat police have issued a lookout notice for Narayan Sai.

Closed-Minded Bigots Have Decided To Boycott Boycott Houston
Earlier this week Hair Balls talked to Pastor David Grisham, a man of the cloth who was proclaiming the utterly reasonable, open-hearted and accepting gospel that the world should boycott Houston because we have a gay mayor. Oh, and there's a Planned Parenthood outlet mall here, or something.
Sadly, some Houstonians are a little more closed-minded than the good Pastor Grisham.
Boycott Boycott Houston has hit the Faceybooks, courtesy of Ed De La Garza, who is obviously on the express train to Hell.
"Personally, I like the fact Houston is open-minded. You should too," he says. "But we should remember that in the spirit of tolerance, we should understand these people. Understand that they're close-minded bigots."
The group describes itself this way:
Committed to showing Houston isn't as backwards as a lot of other places in the state. We are a blue island surrounded by a sea of red. Houstonians are progressive. Deal with it.
In a short time, more than 180 have joined up.
They, too, are all no doubt going to hell, to sit among baby corpses and be forced into the homosexual agenda.

One bad thing I hate being singlefor a long time is I sometimes say insensitive things toward women. If I had girl friends, they would have given me chance to correct my insensitiveness toward women.

People ask me why I am single.It's very simple. I never knew how to approach girls. I tried, believe me, but every time I just lock up completely out of anxiety.

NEW YORK Revelers gathered hours ahead of midnight in New York's frigid Times Square on Monday for the traditional New Year's Eve celebration that ends with the descent of a huge crystal ball at the stroke of midnight.
Up to a million people were expected in the blocks around Times Square, and another billion people were expected to watch on television, city officials said.
People filled pens in the center of Times Square hours before the end of 2012. Police set up barricades to keep away the overflow crowd. Once people entered the police pens, they were not allowed to leave, no alcohol was permitted and there were no restrooms.
The spectacle erupted at 6 p.m. when the ball rose to the top to the top of its 70-foot (21-meter) poll and fireworks went off.
A few minutes earlier, the cheering crowd turned silent when the ceremony released balloons for each of the victims of the December 14 elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Mark Barrigan, a medical software product manager, traveled from Dallas to witness the ball drop live for the first time this year, fulfilling a longtime wish.
"It was one of those bucket list items," Barrigan said, referring to a list of wishes before one dies.
Asked what he was hoping for in the new year, Barrigan replied, "Hopefully they'll make some good decisions in Washington, D.C."
Elsewhere in America, same-sex marriage becomes legal at 12:01 a.m. in Maryland.
Maryland, Maine and Washington state became the first three U.S. states to approve gay marriage by popular vote on November 6. Nine states and the District of Columbia now have statutes legalizing gay marriage.
The temperature in Times Square was predicted to hover just above freezing around midnight, with a possibility of rain or snow flurries, forecasters said.
The revelers came for the people-watching, for which Times Square is famous, and to see performers such as Taylor Swift, Psy, Carly Rae Jepsen and Neon Trees.
Mary and Phe, two tourists from Montreal, arrived in Times Square at 3 p.m. and planned to brave the cold for the nine remaining hours of 2012.
Mary, who worked for the city of Montreal and declined to give her last name, hoped for the new year to be similar to the previous one. Phe, a therapist who also declined to give her last name, said "maybe (getting) a boyfriend" would be a good new year's resolution.
The illuminated, crystal-covered ball -- some 12 feet (3.7 metres) in diameter and weighing nearly 12,000 pounds (5,443 kg) -- was due to begin its descent at 11:59 a.m. EST and drop the 70 feet (21 metres) in 60 seconds.
One of those crystals was engraved with the name of Dick Clark, the American entertainer who hosted a popular television presentation of the Times Square New Year's celebrations for decades.
He died in April of a heart attack. Clark had suffered a stroke in 2004 that sidelined from the New Year's Eve show for the first time since he launched the annual broadcast in 1972.
But he gamely returned to the program the following year, and had continued to announce the annual countdown to midnight.
As part of the city's New Year's Eve celebration, more than one ton of confetti was to be released from the rooftops of surrounding buildings in Times Square.
The end-of-the-year crowds capped a year in which 52 million people visited New York City, the third straight record-breaking year for tourism, city officials said on Monday.
More than a million additional tourists visited the city in 2012 compared to 2011, a 2.1 percent increase, they said.
The first version of the ball in Times Square descended in 1907 from a flagpole. (Additional reporting by Joshua Lott; Editing by Daniel Trotta, David Gregorio and M.D. Golan)

Fight Child Malnutrition In Eastern Uganda
Roll over image to zoom in
You can help the hundreds of Ugandan children affected by malnutrition and HIV/AIDS.
In the village of Papoli, Uganda, increasing food prices and the HIV/AIDS epidemic are having a devastating effect on children. Children comprise over 65% of Papoli's population, and more than 40% of them have been affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Food insecurity and malnutrition are rampant.
The Robert H. Cooley Pediatric Clinic in Papoli provides a safe house for children affected by HIV/AIDS. There, children in need receive nutrition rehabilitation, medications, immunizations, and treatment for other illnesses. These children remain enrolled in the program until they have returned to health. Clinic staff give daily nutrition and health talks for caregivers, and make home visits to follow up on the child's progress.

Ross Edgar will take to the road in 2013 after 12 years as a member of the Great Britain track team after signing for IG Sigma Sport.
The 29-year-old won Olympic silver behind fellow Scot Sir Chris Hoy in the keirin at Beijing in 2008, but missed out on selection for London 2012.
He said on his new team's official website: "I've been a member of the GB cycling team track sprint squad for the past 12 years and I've loved the success and opportunities that have come along with it, the highlight being winning an Olympic silver medal in Beijing.
"Road riding was one element of my training, which I particularly enjoyed and I've always thought I could make the transition into road racing.
"I am very excited about signing with IG Sigma Sport. I enjoyed meeting the team and look forward to racing with them in 2013.
"My goals are the Tour Series in the summer followed by the Tour of Britain. I look forward to the new challenge, more opportunities to get a race number on my back and also making a right hand turn at race speeds."
Dutch sprinter Theo Bos made a similar transfer and has offered advice, while British Cycling performance manager Shane Sutton has also helped Edgar make the transition.
Sutton said: "Ross will continue to train on the track with the GB squad. The opportunity to ride with IG Sigma Sport next year marks an exciting new stage in his career and I wish him good luck with it."

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer talked about politics during his first public appearance in New York's capital since a prostitution scandal forced him from office in 2008.
Spitzer told a public radio fundraiser Sunday that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton should run for president in 2016.
Spitzer praised Gov. Andrew Cuomo for pushing to legalize same-sex marriage last year. But he panned the governor's handling of legislative redistricting.
The Times-Union of Albany reports that Spitzer did not rule out another run for office for himself. But he said it's not something he thinks about when he wakes up in the morning.

If you've decided to hire a life coach, do your homework to avoid wasting $500 to $1,000 a month on a quack. Here's how:
- Ask people you trust for referrals.
- Check out the credentialing groups. The International Coach Federation (www.coachfederation.org) boasts 6,000 members; four times the number as it claimed when the recession started three years ago. "Coach U" (www.coachinc.com/CoachU) says it has trained 10,000 coaches and, like ICF, offers an online search engine.
- Link to your coach choices' individual Web sites to see if your philosophies, styles and personalities line up.
- Judge your finalists at least partly on their credentials. ICF guidelines call for at least 60 hours of university study and 250 hours of client experience to rate as an "associate"; 200 hours of study and 2,500 hours of experience for "master"certification. Some coaches double as psychotherapists, requiring separate credentials. But if you go this route, make sure the counselor has the coaching end nailed down so you can focus on the future more than the past.
- Search for chemistry. Since coaching typically happens by phone, the "fit" needs to be nearly perfect.

A soak cycle at Inframat, and pollutants come out in the wash
Millions of villagers in Bangladesh were exposed to unhealthy levels of arsenic in drinking water in the 1980s and '90s after the naturally occurring poison seeped from bedrock into groundwater supplying wells. After a decade of exposure, the Bangladeshis began to show skin abnormalities and other signs of toxicity, including cancers. The contamination still plagues Bangladesh, India and several South Asian nations.

Have visited Muhibbah several times (have to admit sometimes twice in the same week). If you like pan-asian, Thai inspired food, it's the place for you. Really tasty authentic dishes and a well priced wine list. Would recommend drinks after at the bar across the hallway. Service is superb! Not cheap, but worth every shilling.

Little League Season Ends
Every year it seems like the baseball season just flies by, and 2015 was no exception. I feel blessed and honored that I had the opportunity to coach the Rookie Division Cubs this season. They are a great bunch of kids, and it's always special to be able to spend time coaching your own son or daughter. I'm really proud of Brian this season, as he adjusted well from tee ball to hitting off of the machine, especially since it tosses the ball all over the place. He made some nice plays in the field, and learned about being a good teammate. I saw a lot of growth in our other players, also, and that's always very satisfying. As long as the kids learned the game and had fun to the point of wanting to play again next season, then I'll call this one a success. We ended the season on a positive note also, as the team came back to beat the Yankees 4-3 in the final inning. I really give the Sault Area Little League credit, too, as we're continuing clinics even after the official season is over. Sometimes Brian prefers just working one-on-one with me, so we end up doing that, also. I'm still hoping we'll be relocated by next season someplace warmer so we can get going sooner in the year, but if not we'll make do where we're at.

STAR WARS NIGHT-Episode V: The Umpire Strikes Out
West Michigan Whitecaps vs Bowling Green Hot Rods (Midwest League)
Fifth Third Ballpark-Comstock Park, MI: Oh, it's that time of the year, again, when my little Nerf-Herders and I head down to Fifth Third Ballpark for Star Wars Night. We got to meet old favorites like the Stormtroopers and Darth Vader, as well as a newbie like Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels. The one thing I was disappointed with was that there was no Boba Fett!! How could the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy not make an appearance?
After we mingled with members of the Galactic Empire and Rebellion, we were able to take a stroll around the warning track of Fifth Third Ballpark. Personally, I never turn down an opportunity to walk around on a professional baseball field. Jedi Franky welcomed us onto the field, and was able to get a few good pics of the boys.
With everything going on, we almost forgot we had a ballgame to watch. This was a pitcher's duel for certain. On the mound for the 'Caps, A.J. Ladwig gave up an early solo home run, but settle in and pitched a nice game. He went 6.1 innings, only giving up two earned runs, and striking out two. Gage Smith would come in and earn the save.
Offensively, West Michigan was led by catcher Arvicent Perez, who went 3-3 on the night, including an RBI. Both Rashad Brown and Michael Gerber went 2-4, respectively, with Gerber earning an RBI. Garrett Mattlage scored on a wild pitch, and Zach Shepherd walked and scored on a throwing error. Final: Whitecaps 3, Hot Rods 2.
After the game we were treated to some fireworks, which capped off a fantastic night. Just one more game where I feel lucky and blessed to be able to spend time with my kids and dad. We're not sure when our next game will be, but we'll be sure to make it's a good one.
And one more photo we bought from MI Unlimited Photography. For some reason all three of us look like we were just captured and are about to be brought before the Emperor. I guess we're just tired from travel and fun.

Back To The Loons
Great Lakes Loons vs. West Michigan Whitecaps (Midwest League)
Dow Diamond-Midland, MI: This month is the 30th anniversary of one of my favorite films of all time, Back To The Future. When we found out that the Great Lakes Loons were hosting a BTTF night, Brian and I jumped in the van and drove 88 mph downstate to take in the game. As soon as we entered the gate, we found what we were looking for: the BTTF car; the time machine; the DeLorean. Just to be able to see the car that was in he movie was amazing, but Brian got a special treat. By making a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, he was able to get into the car. 'Future boy' hammed it up a bit, and we got some great photos!
Bri earned his DeLorean drivers license, too:
Also a little video of Brian in the time machine. I would love to take him on a trip back to 1985:
Great Scott!!!! Three generations of baseball fans:
After we were done checking the car out, we headed down to the visitor's dugout to try for some Whitecaps autographs. Brian really wanted to get Joey Pankake to sign his card, but he didn't play this game. He did get his hat signed by Zach Shepherd and Franklin Navarro, though, and they were both very nice to him.As for the actual baseball game that took place, the Loons jumped out to a 1-0 lead when first baseman Justin Chigbogu hit a bomb over the right field fence that hasn't landed yet. He went 2-4 on the night. Great Lakes then went up 2-0 on a Jimmy Allen RBI that scored Federico Celli. Allen was 1-3 for the game, and Celli 2-4.
We also spent some time at Lou E's Lookout, playing on the playground and hanging out with mascots Lou E. Loon and Ral E. Camel.
Whoa, this is heavy, but while we were in the Lookout, the Whitecaps started their comeback. The 'Caps scored five unanswered runs, and needed only two RBI's to do it. Michael Gerber got West Michigan on the board, when he scored on a wild pitch after hitting a triple. Gerber went 1-3 with an RBI, while Derek Hill led the way offensively, going 2-4 with the other RBI. David Gonzalez also went 2-4 with two runs scored.
A view from out seats. There simply is no bad seat at Dow Diamond, it's such a great ballpark. And this moon was amazing, too!
On the mound, Artie Lewicki earned the win for West Michigan, allowing two runs on seven hits. Gabe Hemmer and Johan Belisario picked up the hold and save, throwing just over three scoreless innings. Kevin Guzman took the loss for the Loons. Another fun game, and feeling very blessed to be able to experience this with my son and dad. With a long drive ahead of us, 'future boy' and I made like a tree and got out of there. We have another game planned soon, but we'll see how the weather holds up. Final: Loons 2, Whitecaps 5.
And another YouTube video of the game:

Mid-Season Report
Brian has had a few more games in this season, and is really adapting well from tee ball to hitting off of the pitching machine. He's getting hits on a regular basis, and has made some nice plays in the field. Most important of all, he's having fun and learning a lot. We give the kids an opportunity to play every position, so he's seen the ball come off the bat at about every angle.
The posted photos are from two different games, all taken by his sister Lily, who has become his official photographer. His brother Trevor has also been helping out with the team, especially with the catchers. It's always good to have us all together, and they can easily be bribed with Dairy Queen after the games. I feel very blessed to be able to coach Brian and the Cubs this season.
Also getting it done in the field:

Rain can't spoil a day at the Beach (Bums)
Traverse City Beach Bums vs. Joliet Slammers (Frontier League)
Wuerfel Park-Traverse City, MI: The summer of rain continues, but we didn't let it ruin our baseball fun over the weekend. Although it rained most of the weekend, the weather cleared up enough to take in our first Beach Bums game of the season. Our experience started off on a good note, as Brian got a game ball from the Joliet Slammers before the game even started. I guess it's good to make the right friends, as he was chatting with the guys in the bullpen.
Here's a video I took by mistake, as I thought that the photo mode was on the phone:
The game was a good one for the home team. The Bums scored three runs in the second inning, and never looked back on their way to victory. Offensively they were led by Jay Austin, who had four hits and was just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. Jeff DeBlieux pitching in with a triple and 2 RBI's, while Jake Rhodes and Greg Harisis each had hits. In the fifth inning, Graham Ramos hit and RBI single, and then scored on a double by Yazy Arbelo. On the bump, pitcher Kramer Champlin threw seven strong innings for the win, allowing four hits and no runs. Final score: Beach Bums 5, Slammers 1.
This is also the first time I've seen a mascot fight break out…
After the game, Brian was able to run the bases of Wuerfel Park.
After he ran the bases, he met up with a couple of the Slammers players to thank them again for the baseball. He was going to stand in line for the Beach Bum autographs, but he was tired and we still had a long drive ahead of us. This was a fun game, and the impending rain kept it a very small crowd. We were lucky that the rain held off for us, and I'm hoping to get back to TC soon. It's a good ballpark to visit since one our way down state one way or another.
Here's another video from the game:

Play Ball!
Things move slowing here with our Little League, but the kids finally were able to get a couple of games in. Their first game was rained out, but we scrimmaged the Angels the next night to make up for it. The scrimmage went well, and we got all the kids through the batting order twice. Brian did well, and made a great play at first base. Last week we got our first 'real' game in, as the Cubs took on the Tigers. Brian got his first taste of playing catcher, as well as some other infield and outfield positions. We try to give the kids a chance to play a different position every inning, so they can experience each one. He also ripped a double in his only at bat, and made a nice play at the hot corner. No game this week, but looking forward to some good practices and next week's game.

Funday Sunday in West Michigan
West Michigan Whitecaps vs. Dayton Dragons (Midwest League)
Fifth Third Ballpark-Comstock Park, MI: After a fun night of baseball, we were back at the ballpark the next morning for more of the same. Sundays at the Whitecaps games are the best, as the kids are able to get on the field before the game, run the bases after the game, and get some free eats. We started off on the field, with Brian getting to meet his favorite player Joey Pankake. Since we missed a shot with Franky the day before, we got a pic with him, as well as PBS Wordgirl. The boys even hot a chance to hang out in front of the dugout for a few minutes.
The game went a lot better for the home team this time around. Pankake hit an RBI single in the first inning, to put West Michigan up 1-0 early. On the mound, Jeff Thompson worked effectively, even getting the Dragons to hit into an inning ending double-play with bases loaded in the fourth inning.
There was more fun stuff for the kids, as Brian was able to make his own sign to cheer on his Whitecaps.
We had a little rain, too, but not enough to stop play or ruin our fun. We took turns with some rain ponchos, but maybe we should have gotten some umbrellas.
The Whitecaps would add on some more runs, as Zach Shepherd doubled in a pair in the bottom of the fourth. In the fifth, Austin Schotts hit a RBI single, and Garrett Mattlage squeezed home a run. So cool to see a squeeze play live. Forget home runs, that's baseball! Thompson continued his dominance, pitching six innings and striking out a career high nine batters. Final: Whitecaps 5, Dragons 0.
After the game, Trevor took Brian back onto the field to run the bases. He had fun showing off his speed burning around the bases. He was a little tired, though, as the bases are a little further apart than they are in Little League. This was a great day, and a great holiday weekend with family. We are all very grateful for this time together, and thankful for all the brave men and women who gave their lives so we can enjoy days like this. We really wanted to see the game on Memorial Day, but things didn't work out (it was a good game, too, as the 'Caps won in extra innings). We'll be back downstate in a couple of weeks, and will try to see more baseball then.
And here's the YouTube video you've been waiting for:

Pink in the Park
West Michigan Whitecaps vs. Dayton Dragons (Midwest League)
Fifth Third Ballpark-Comstock Park, MI: Our holiday weekend started on Saturday night, with the Whitecaps hosting Pink in the Park to raise money for breast cancer awareness. We didn't originally plan on attending this game, but with rain looming the next few days, we definitely wanted to get one in that was guaranteed. This was Brian's first game of the season, so he was excited to get to…the playground. On our way there, though, we came across this beauty, which I signed up to win:
While Brian was playing, I snapped a couple of pics from the outfield area.
The game itself was a very rough one for the Whitecaps. West Michigan actually drew first blood, when Will Kengor doubled, scoring top Tiger prospect Derek Hill. The Dragons stormed back, though, blowing the game open with a 10 run fifth inning. Ross Seaton, who was 5-1 coming into the game, was lit up before getting the hook.
Brian was happy, though, as he was able to see his favorite mascots, Crash and Roxy.
Dayton would add on four more runs, to make it a disastrous night for the Whitecaps. It just seemed the Dragons were able to drop about everything in, while the 'Caps hit the ball hard, but just to the defense. Win or lose, it was fun to get our game in West Michigan this season. We'd be back the next morning, to get another game in for the holiday weekend. Final Score: Whitecaps 1, Dragons 14.

MLB Pitch Hit & Run
Last night Brian's age group of Sault Area Little Leaguers participated in Major League Baseball's Pitch, Hit, & Run competition. Of course it was a typical Michigan day here in late May, with the temps barely above 40, and that 'brisk' wind pouring off Lake Superior, blowing the kids' hats every which way. The kids up here are tough, though, and they all did a great job. Brian didn't win any of the categories, but he made a strong showing at each one. He's playing for the Cubs this season, and really looks good sporting the blue and red! Our first game is next week, but the competition sponsored by MLB was a good experience for the team.
And who didn't pull up a little grass while 'patiently' waiting our turn?

Let's Get This Going…
The Little League baseball season is upon us once again up north. The kids have been working the indoor clinics (which most of the kids hate), but on Friday they finally were able to make it outside. In most parts of the country baseball has probably been played for a month or two, but up here we usually get onto the field in mid-May. It was another long and brutal winter (we had more snow than any other city on the country this year…), so Brian was thrilled to be outside and playing baseball. He's moved up from Tee Ball to Rookies (coach pitch) this season, but he's been hitting live pitching for a few years now, so this shouldn't be anything new to him. They had a pitching machine at the practice, but I'm not sure if it will be used though out the season at the games, or just at these practices. I'm a coach in this league, on the board of directors, and they still don't tell me anything. Brian has been wearing his Angels jersey from last season, but we're not sure what team we'll be this season. I requested the Angels again, but who knows what we'll end up with. At any rate, I can't wait to get my team set and do my own thing with the practices. I have so many fun things planned for the kids this season, so let's get this going…
