Memorial Weekend - Sunday 8:00 AM
Game has been changed to 10:00 AM (and is now a practice, not game). Here's who I have coming so far: Mike D Pete Mike N Mike Mo Andrew Andy Lou Clark Here's who can't make it: Simon Chris Steve I'll update this list as I get responses. UPDATE: I just saw the manager of the Heat at the managers' meeting and he said that they would not have enough players this weekend. This means that we either have to reschedule, or accept victory by forfeit. It's up to us. We already have to make up a game against the Renegades (1-9). It will be a single 9-inning game (Date TBD) as voted by the league. According to the schedule I was given at the meeting, the only slot available for a makeup that doesn't coincide with another double-header in the same weekend is July 1st (because the All-Star game is July 4th). There are other make-up slots open, but it would mean playing 4 games in a weekend and I'm not sure we have the pitching to do that. I know Andrew has a rubber arm, and we have some un-*test*-('")ed relief pitchers, but we've lost Chris Adamo until July. So what do you all think? Should we take the wins by forfeit or try to reschedule. The Heat mentioned that July 1st would probably not be good for them either and that they don't have enough pitchers to play 4 games in a weekend. Either way, we will have a practice Sunday from 10 AM to Noon at 145th St. It's one of the few times we have a guaranteed field and can have a meaningful practice. I now have copies of all the permits too. Plus we can sleep an extra 2 hours. Remember our goal is to take the next 4, so the first 2 may be too easy, but that doesn't mean we should rest. Practice Today (Friday): I know that some of us are planning to go to Central Park again today. I will be there at 5:30 or hopefully earlier (I might get out of work at like 3 since it's Memorial Day weekend). Practice Wednesday was pretty good. Me, Andy, Andrew, Pete, Mike N and Clark had a good work out and had some good luck with fields.
