Weekend Series against the Stars

Howdy partners! Another weekend and another series done. Wes wept the Stars in 2 games straight. Game 1 score 9-7. Game 2 score was something like 15-8 and was the longest game ever. Reminded me of a classic Yankees vs. Red Sox game. Not that it was a good, quality game but because of the amount of time. In all fairness, it was a boring drawn out game but we got the win.

Game 1 we were up 8-1 going into the later innings but then they came back 8-6. We ended up winning 9-7. We haven't been playing up to our potential a lot of mental mistakes and walks. Finished the game 2 for 5 with a double and 3 RBIS.

Game 2 we were losing 4-0 going into the 2nd inning. We ended up coming back little by little and then put a 5 spot up in the middle innings. This game was literally like closing on to 4 hours it was so long. Hot day also about 90 degrees.  Out pitching staff gave up 16 walks!! And our defense had a couple errors. I made one of those errors in the later innings on a routine slow ground ball right to me. We ended up scoring 15 runs but against a good team we would have gotten crushed. I ended up being 3 for 6 with a triple and 3 RBIS. We play Tuesday and Wednesday against the 1st place Pioneers, should be fun :) haha.

Well as much of you know the USA World Cup soccer team was 'beat' by Ghana last night 2-1 in extra time. I watched the entire game and I was not impressed with USA. We looked flat and were taking really bad first touches. Our defense collapsed twice which resulted in 2 goals. Thought Howard should have made a better effort at the 1st one but not his fault. We beat ourselves. Two great scoring chances and we shoot right at the keeper within the 18 yard box...unacceptable! Maybe in 2014 we won't shit the bed in the round of 16. The Yankees lost last night 9-4 to the Dodgers. We won the 1st game in the series though! If you watched the game you know A.J. (Yanks pitcher) is in a hugeeeeee slump! He has not made it past 4 innings in his past 3 starts! He better figure it out after the All-Star break. Plus I have him on my fantasy team, which indicates my awful record and why I am in dead last with no hope of moving out! Check back in a few days to see how we do against the Pioneers. PS I will be home soon for good!!!! Can not wait to be back in the dirty dirty Jerz!! Cheers mates :)
