It's nice to see some pitchers struggle in a Major League Baseball
All-Star Game. They usually dominate the best hitters in the game, but

Rushing from the state tournament in St. Cloud, traffic made me late to the first game in Blaine, but for the second time this year, I trotted into the outfield in the middle of a game.

Boy, was it tough to pitch in that wind last night! It was even tougher to hit in it, though. 

In softball, less hitting usually means less winning. No surprise there.

I wouldn't say that baserunning is the strongest point in my softball game, but I'm not bad. And I can slide with the best of them.

News flash! I've started hitting.

After a 5-for-7 day on Wednesday, I went 4-for-7 on Thursday. For Hoggsbreath, I pitched 13 innings, got two runs batted in, and scored twice.

Hey, at least after 3-1/2 hours, they're still playing.
