How about you come on over and call some games with us! I'm sure someone here will gladly let you stay with them.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Oh man, I would be already on my way if only...
The compay I work for is getting all plants in Europe connected on SAP. The Neth.'s will be connected in Sept. I have 44 day's off this year BUT... I'm allowed to take two weeks off this summer! I can't work on any European Competition, like European Championship (Inter Nations) or EuroCup (Inter Clubs) held by the ESF...

Just another 3 nights working (at this moment it's 05:00 13th July in the Neth.'s) and then my vacation starts. Two weeks camping in Normandy (France). I'm really done working right now...

Maybe somewere in the years I'll come over to most softball-minded country in the world: Here we have about 5000 people playing ball (16,5 mil people living in the netherlands), it's a little sport. Most are soccer-lovers! Yuck...

Have you've seen any CanadaCup? Team USA is playing the final against Canada; the Dutch lost almost all the games. Beat only Venuzuela twice, got eliminated by Venuzuela in the 3rth match-up...
Next week they play in Oklahoma City at the World Cup of Softball...

Started to rain last night's game. Teams asked me when I was going to call the game because of the rain. "When the water running of my cap is clear." Stopped raining, field was fine, and I still need to wash my cap.

Andy, Jim Weir (the coach you met in Colorado) and I were shivering on Sunday and comiserating over the heat down there and knowing how tough you had it. A little later, we decided that 100 was better than the almost 60 degrees in which we were damn near shivering.

But...we'll keep the 60s over any 113 or 114.

The link to the post on hot weather was a nice walk down memory lane when Wade was still confrontational. Advice in the post still holds true, now if only we could find some hot weather. I am looking at 75 as a high on Weather.com for my tourney this weekend. I actually am packing a jacket and may use it just to make myself drink water.

And by "warm weather gear," Larry's referring to this.

I actually wouldn't mind getting one of them. I figure that if someone took the time to create something that makes life more comfortable for us, why shouldn't I partake?

This is actually a pretty good thread about keeping cool in the heat. Talks about Florida Water (water + spirit of ammonia), the right chest protectors and hydration.
