Season is almost here!
 
Girls are throwing in AL. District clinic is next week where I get to explain 3-man mechanics after working exactly 5 3-man games. Ready to get it going!

YYYAEEEEAAAHHH - GOOD NEWS !

Workouts only, no practice here until March, but clinics galore.

Sometimes the newest learner of a subject can be most focused on the right way and the thinking.

I am jealous, here in Alaska we hope to start HS games April 25, if the snow is gone.

When are your first games?

derwil Sun Jan 23, 2011 10:26pm

First games are scheduled for 15 February. Better pack your long underwear....

Had a college scrimmage here in Georgia yesterday, 1/22; freebie to get some rust off (it has been 17 days since my last game 1/5, mind you, although that was in warmer Florida). First scheduled (paying) games are Friday, 2/11. I believe there may be games 2/5, but I don't have them due to the ASA UIC Clinic.

My first games are a JC DH next Tuesday, Feb 1.

Haven't been on the field since Thansgiving weekend...so I plan on being a bit sore.....

HS kickoff was a week and a half ago...training classes throughout the rest of the month. First HS games around Feb 24th....

ASA kickoff was Saturday, ASA tourney this weekend....

Not much happening around here for quite some time. With 4' of snow on the diamonds, it's hard to get games in. :eek:

I miss North Dakota!

Bill Baker Tue Jan 25, 2011 07:44am

Games today
 
Here in South Texas, we've been doing games 2 days a week since January 6. Have a triple header today to make up for a rain out. Kinda chilly with the forecast only in the upper 60s! :)

Actually, housing in Minot is at a premium with the oil boom going on. In a triangle from Minot to Williston down to Dickinson (now draw a line from Dickinson to Minot), housing is hard to find. Bismarck/Mandan hasn't felt that pressure....yet.

Okay, so maybe I'll just come up to ND for the McQuade tournament? :)

txump81 Wed Jan 26, 2011 07:31am

Clinic on Saturday and scrimmages start on Monday for HS.

Congrats on your ISF, BTW. :)

All the WA and OR guys (Brandon, John, Don and Don) got theirs also.

See you in a week...

Think Chisholm's is carrying Sam Adams?

Well, maybe they have Shiner. First one's on you.

Congratulations.

I remember both you and Darrell looking for a brand to "school" me on beer; we ended up drinking Bud Light, as I recall, because you couldn't find anything you preferred.

Buy you a beer?? Well, it's happened before.

I don't remember that. I know Darrell harassed me in OKC for drinking light until he saw it was Sam Adams Light :D

But I am adaptable to others and supply on hand. But I'm pretty sure Shiner should be an option in OK.

If we ever started keeping track of who bought what, we may need to hire an accountant. ;)

I know a guy who got so tired of travelling from the East coast to ND for softball, he moved to NE. :D

Yeah, but working the McQuade tournament is well worth the once a year travel there. Get to possibly hang out with old friends from North Dakota too!

Thanks - I didn't notice your answer here, but have received an answer.
Still trying to figure out why they "closed" the original thread...

I'll see him at the end of June and hopefully get to work a game or two with him during the tournament.

Either none of this forum's concern or because it was covered or because I posted their email addresses.
