Good morning campers!

All reports indicate that the fields are going to be fine and we will be playing softball this morning.

Have fun out there!

Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody!

Looks like our league season is officially underway.  Somehow, 6 teams showed up and 3 fields and played softball.

Unfortunately there was a fair amount of trash talking going on yesterday and it wasn't all in good fun.

Please understand that we do this to engage in the spirit of clean and sober fellowship.  It's perfectly fine to kid each other -- but at no time should such talk EVER become malicious or intimidating.

At no time should any player be trying to psyche out anybody on the other team.

At no time should any player be trying to yell at or interfere with a player on the other team to cause them to make an error.

This is what we do to have fun.

If there are new players on your team that don't quite get the idea of a sober league, please help them understand.

I don't make any money running this league, please don't make it difficult.

When you least expect it, expect it.

Sadly, the Greenbelt Steppers just aren't going to be able to get it together to play this year so we're back at six (6) teams.

Which means, I'm rewriting the schedule one last time with 9 days to go before we start playing games.

Please be sure to check the online schedule prior to next weekend to make sure everybody knows where to be on Sunday the 4th!

Keep yer fingers and toes crossed!

It appears that we will have seven teams -- I was contacted by Al from the Terminators and they want to play.  I'll have to rewrite the schedule again.

Unfortunately, this means that we won't all get to play each other twice. 

Anyways -- I should have an updated schedule soon.

It's raining ... it's not pouring, but it's raining enough that I would advise that we NOT run our players out there to practice today.

We don't need anybody slipping and falling and tearing/breaking something today.


Also -- I finally heard from Al of the Terminators and they want to play so I will be adding them to the schedule soon.

Alrightie!

We now have 6 teams!

The Greenbelt Steppers contacted me this past week and indicated that they will indeed be playing this year!

Make a point of checking out the updated season schedule and make sure your players are aware that there has been a change.


Also, team managers really should make a point of getting an emergency contact for each of your players in the event of an injury.  We play a real game with balls and bats and running and stuff -- people get hurt.  Make sure you know who to call if one of your players is injured.


The season starts in 2 1/2 weeks!

Everyone!

I hope we all had a fine winter.

We appear to have 5 teams in our league now.

The teams are:

DC Gum (new team from WestSide Club)
DuPont Circle Club
Montgomery Miracles
Rockville Metro
WestSide Club

I have not been able to contact anyone from the Terminators who wishes to take command of their team -- but I am hopeful.


On thing to note --  We have been asked by the County to start earlier in the morning this year so that we do not conflict with the kids who have our fields after us.

Therefore -- games will start at 9:00am.


The preliminary schedule is up on this site now -- check it out!


More to be revealed.
