Hey guys...I got more bad news today about the relative that I had mentioned before, and I may not be able to play a game for a few days. Thanks for understanding.

[ljshorty89]

Okay. Right now, where I'm at, it's technically Wednesday morning. My uncle who had been battling cancer passed away Monday night, and the funeral is going to be later this morning. I'm going to be out for the vast majority of the day. Been a rough couple days for me, I can't promise a game....but if you guys want, I can try to do one either late tonight, or maybe tomorrow.

Best team ever.

I would have stomped the royals if I were running the angels.

[ljshorty89]

Haha. Due to all the complete games, our starters are tired. So, we signed our new spot starter/long reliever. His name is Mike Hock. He is 7 feet tall, 300 pounds, and a young asian reliever who throws a 100 MPH Fastball and a 38 MPH Eephus, but has very little control. Welcome Mike. Lets go!

[Doppelgänger]

Sounds like a winner to me.

[cjkalt]

when's our next game?

[ljshorty89]

I go back up to 'Cuse tomorrow, so I wouldn't count on one tomorrow. I'll try for this weekend, but no promises.

[cjkalt]

no problem I'm on the road to ND now so I get it, just making sure it wasn't forgotten

*cough cough*

[ljshorty89]

Yeah, I knew someone would give a nudge eventually. I have a long day tomorrow, 6 hours of classes....I'll either have a game up late tomorrow night(probably after midnight) or otherwise, sometime during the day Friday.

Update:

The next game will be played following tonight's Mets/Phillies game. Thanks for your patience.

...That is, if anyone is still paying attention.
