Never a Dull Moment

Well, it's been a few days since I posted anything because, I never see these boys.  During the week when I am working, they get up after I leave for work and get home from games after I go to bed.  Nick's girlfriend was here for 3 days and I never saw her.  I'm not sure where they go and what they do after games.  I think they must be eating somewhere because they don't eat much here, at least at night.  The weather is warming up, so going to the games is more fun.  We had a great outing against Bend last night with an 11 run inning.  Dutton is not getting any playing time, which is sad and Nick still hasn't pitched since that disasterous first night.  They have invited another guy to stay at out house,  Apparently he is living with an older couple in a trailer park that chain smoke and want him to call them Grandma and Grandpa.  OK, he's in.
They are on the road tonight, tomorrow and Sunday in Longview and will be home SUnday night with Monday off.  Then off to Wenatchee and Bend, back by July 4.  Then it's pretty much home the whole month of July.  Whee!!!!

Season Six

  And so it begins again.  Roxi who used to manage the housing for the team, sold their home in PA, bought an RV and hit the road.  The poor new girl managing the housing was overwhelmed and didn't let us know until the last second who was coming and from where.  We have 3 guys, all from Cal State San Bernardino.  Andreas is a pitcher (really good), Derek is an outfielder and initially the lead off batter, and Riley plays shortstop or 3rd base and initially batted clean up.  They are really nice guys, all over 21.  They don't need a mom like last year's boys did so it has been a little hard to warm up to them.  They like to go fishing in their off time and probably go to the local bars. They don't eat like last year's group. There were ribs left over!   The league has expanded to 6 teams in Canada, so when these guys are on the road, they are ON THE ROAD - and ferry and in the air.  The big news is that Golden Tate, former NFL wide ...

Back to 3

The dudes came home after a disappointing road trip where they went 1 and 8.  They pulled in at 5:10  this morning just as Watson and I were headed out for our walk,  Dutton has his car, so I guess they drove all night.  They looked a little ragged, and yes, there are now 3.  The third guy is another pitcher and another Nick.  They promptly went to bed, but Dean says they were up and out to the lake by 1.  They did not come home for dinner as I guess there is a great party at the lake.  Apparently, it includes some of the local girls which was enough stimulus to get these guys up and at "em.  It's 10:20 and they are still not home, Oh to be young!!!!

 Well Qualified Trainer I have been the unofficial/official trainer again as the trainer they hired quit.  Tonight, on the 2nd pitch, our catcher caught one in the scrotum.  Luckily he was wearing a cup.  It took him a while to be able to stand and walk, and I am told it looked quite comical with me at 4'11"  escorting off a 6'4" baseball player off the field.  After some ice and ibuprofen, I examined him and all was intact.  Poor guy.  Like Stephen says, everyone in the stands was thinking about his junk.  At least this was an injury I am imminently qualified to evaluate and treat.  Parents are in town and since the pandemic, very few restaurants are open on Mondays which is their day off.  We will host the parents for stuffed burgers.  Today at the ball field, we are having a pot luck for the host families, players and their families.  I started making chocolate chip cookies at 0700.  I made 3 batches and luckily we...
