APD's team won today 3-1. The kids played really great. Our record is now 1-2-1 which sounds like an NHL record. Not sure if we've had any overtime losses. APD got the top of the first started w/ a 1-out single, then scored on an HR by our #3 hitter. APD stopped to see if the ball was going to be caught by the RF (it was a rocket right at him, that he deftly dodged) and our #3 hitter, who blazingly fast, had caught him by 2nd base. Fortunately he didn't pass him. APD made a sliding catch in RCF in the bottom of the first for a pretty nice inning. Our ace pitcher (& #3 hitter) struck out the side in 9 pitches in the 2nd. We got a run in the top of the third when one of our batters who rarely swings got an RBI single. APD pitched a scoreless 3rd. He gave up one in the fourth to narrow the lead to 3-1, but struck out a good hitter w/ runners on the corners. They got runners on the corners again in the 5th (last inning due to time), but our pitcher got a K to end it. It was very exciting for players and coaches alike. We play again on Monday.
Running down my softball performance in the blog must have fired me up as I went 3-3 w/ a (bloop) double. We won to improve to 3-3.
I'm excited about the Majerus hire at SLU. Hopefully he stays healthy & happy & SLU returns to the gravy years of .... well .... hey we used to be good at soccer.
Was glad the Browns didn't draft Quinn at #3, then glad they did draft him at #22.
Looking forward to the Derby!

Congrats to you and Alex on the win.
The Majerus hiring seems good, but I remain skeptical as to what he'll do there. I mean, it's one thing to be able to recruit players to a culturally stunted, backwards place like Utah, what with its desert-like climate and all. But St. Louis is something else entirely. I just don't know how he's going to get the same caliber of player to show up in America's heartland.
Also, the Quinn pick was horrible. We gave up way too much for a player who won't contribute for at least three years, if then. The Browns need a veteran taking snaps, not another rookie project. Quinn never came through once in a big game in college. Not once.
Majerus hiring .... That's great. Good coach, great personality, always has a good one liner. Hope St Louis has a good healthy heart program to put him on. Next few bb seasons should be great fun. Also did you know that Billy Clyde can believe it's not butter?
Looking forward to Saturday, 133 Ky Derby. A few years ago we had a torrential down pour about an hour before the race. We were all huddled under the media center over hang. Quite an adventure. I have the video to prove it. See you on Saturday.
