Game 9: 2-2, 2xBB, 2xSB
Game 10: 1-2, 1xK, 1xRBI
Game 11: 0-0, 1xBB, 1xHBP, 1xRBI
Game 12: Rained out, no makeup to be scheduled.
Game 13: 0-3, 1xK
**The game started at 10pm(!) and two of the strikeouts came with a tired umpire on CALLED strikes that bounced in front of the plate. Inexcusable--just as sad is that this happened to several players on both teams. Umping summer ball should be done right--not just a question of collecting a paycheck.
SEASON TOTALS: 3-24, 14xK, 12xBB, 2xR, 4xRBI, 2xHBP, 9xSB, 1 outfield assist.
125/447/572
Not bad, considering he was one of only two players on the team playing in only one league and not paying to be on mutiple travel teams. The insane lengths parents go to regarding being competitive at age 10 with sports is unbelievable. Erick had fun--and THAT is all that matters.

Well,
Erick's baseball season begins today. It started 90 minutes ago back in Effingham. I'm waiting for the Mrs. to call and tell me how things went--actually, I hope it will be Erick that calls.
That means I'll get to do my stat totaling again. How anyone can love the world without baseball stats, I have no idea. They are the numbers of the gods. Then again, maybe that explains the math deficiencies of so many junior high and high school students.
For the record, the 2004 Erick stats:
TOTAL FOR SEASON: 1-12, 1x2B, 1xRBI,
11xK, 10xBB, 2xHBP, 1xSAC, 4xSB

Well, it's amazing how marketing can work. Over the past couple months I wound up winning two free songs via Pepsi for iMusic by Apple. Then I noticed on the laptop here that the iMusic software was free. Okay, what the heck--might as well double-click. So I did.
I wound up listening to the radio selection and then my Luddite-self dared to try and figure out how to download my two free songs. I was incredibly surprised to find it painless and easy. So now I've actually downloaded several songs. I think the next project is to burn them to CD.
And I am firmly convinced that the most underrated Rolling Stones song of all-time is "Waiting On A Friend". How this goes unnoticed--heck, it's been that way for twenty years--I have no clue.
For the record, the first download was "Godzilla"--the live version by Blue Oyster Cult.
