Bruin7089 (5:25:54 PM): put it on a nametag
lindseydown (5:25:58 PM): lol nice

So as not to disgrace the family name or any of our own, I think it would be wise if we each came up with a fake name to use for our stay in Vegas. So what's everyone's fake name going to be? Need to know soon so we can get everyone's name right.

UPDATE::Looks like the guys are going to use names from Ocean's Eleven. Get to picking:

* George Clooney as Daniel "Danny" Ocean
* Brad Pitt as Robert "Rusty" Ryan
* Matt Damon as Linus Caldwell
* Don Cheadle as Basher Tarr
* Bernie Mac as Frank Catton
* Casey Affleck as Virgil Malloy
* Scott Caan as Turk Malloy
* Shaobo Qin as "The Amazing" Yen
* Carl Reiner as Saul Bloom
* Eddie Jemison as Livingston Dell
* Elliott Gould as Reuben Tishkoff

Well we met a couple of the goals I thought we could reach. The highlights were the defense of the outfield (especially Jason's running catches and Jade's near perfect positioning) and Brian's big night at the plate which elicited this taunt directed at him, "Well I'll always be better looking than you, make more money than you, and you're a dork." Ahhh, lame insults are the most sincere forms of respect.

I updated the wiki with information on my Mom's and Dad's anniversary party happening on June 14th. The information can be found here. Expect me to spam the blog with updates.

The thing of note is the dress code is business casual. NO JEANS and NO HAWAIIAN SHIRTS

Tonight we begin the second of three rounds against our opponents in the league. The goal this time through the schedule is to show improvement. 22-4 was the score of our first meeting with the Red Hots. We got mercy ruled in 4 1/2 innings and after only about 35 minutes of play. So I suppose if we just finish the game tonight we will have shown improvement but I think we can set some higher goals than that.

• Score more than 5 runs


• Give up less than 20


• Lose by less than 15

Personally, I'd like to win tonight, and think we can, but any improvement shown will be a step forward that our team can take pride in.

As for tonight's batting order:

Sara
Louis
Jason
Brian
Jade
Mehran
Wayne
Annette
Austin
Faye
EJ

We're so doing this next practice... if Brad Hawpe and his forearms are available.



Don't be afraid to get hurt.
