We had our first CIF game yesterday, a wild card spot. We won 5-0...son pitched 5 shutout innings. We have a long road trip on Friday to face a tough team.

Oops - haven't been here lately. Thanks RHP05! It was a fun game - always nice to beat the cross-town rivals , particularly when it's the last home game of league... . Actually, I think the game will be on Comcast today, so I need to figure out how to tape it - where's the VHS recorder when you need it... Congrats to your son, too, and to the team for winning league again. Hopefully we'll see you soon --- AND, perhaps Justbaseball in a couple of weeks . Seriously, good luck to both "E's" as we all start post-season play.

Justbb, Congrats on a great season this year! Tough luck on that last game though! Son's team was seeded #1 in the playoffs, so it's a home game on Tuesday. URKMB's team also plays this Tuesday, so wish us luck!

JustBB - thanks for the update on the pitching coach. I agree that he seems like a nice guy, as does the head coach. We (oh sorry - MY SON only, not me ) are looking forward to the 'change in venue' next year. By the way, you know what stinks - I have a client meeting scheduled until 5pm in the South Bay tomorrow and have committed to be out of town this weekend... so, I'll miss most of the game tomorrow and all of the next one, if we move on...

URKMB - Sorry to hear about the work schedule conflict. That's one nice thing about cell phones and text messaging! Just put your cell on mute and get a friend at the game to send text updates. Not the same as being there, but sure beats wondering what's happening at the game while you're sitting through one more meeting at the office!

Our season ended with a CIF run last friday. We lost 13-8, to the number 3 seed in the Southern Section. We had a good season, with mostly juniors and two sophomores who pitched a great deal. The team who won was clearly better than us, and should go far in the playoffs. To those who are still in the hunt, good luck. I don't know what I am gonna do with myself, now that there isn't any volunteer work, or games to see. Gosh, you wait so long for the season to start, and it ends so quickly!

dadchs24 - Congrats on your season! Yeah, isn't that the catch22. For all those days during the season when you find yourself saying "If I only had more time" ..... and then before you know it the season is over..... and you now have the time ...... and you can't wait to be busy again with next year's season (or summer ball)! It's proof you've got the baseball fever, and hopefully there is no cure!

Well we're done -- lost to the #11 seed in first round play. What can I say -- their pitcher pitched great junk and our team just couldn't adjust. Our 05 pitched fairly well -- kept it to 2 - 0 on his watch, which is all you can ask for. Final score was 2 - 1. Oh well - on to summer ball....
RHP05 - GOOD LUCK!!!! Hope to see you go all the way. I'll be 'lurking' at your games, I'm sure (is that better or worse than lurking on the hsbbweb I wonder).
