Team Building Part One.

I think it's coming along quite well I am still working on lining up pitchers for next year, but the rest of the roster is coming along nicely. As for the coaching search it's still a work in progress. It's been a interesting expirience but I am confident the team will get off the ground. And if there is anyone that has coached before, let me know.

Ball, Ball and more Ball

Well where to start, Those wonderful Mount Elgin Mets won't go 0 and 22 this year, they got thier first win last Sunday night by pounding on the Burgessville Bulls 9-2. Three nights prior to that they had to come from behind in the last inning just to beat the Oxford Pirates who happen to be a midget all star team. As for the Mets who now stand at 1-14 are a complete mess, thier starting shortstop has gone MIA since getting tossed in a loss to Ingersoll in mid June. They spend most nights with only 10 or 11 guys and to top it off a team that is supposed to be getting better seems to have regressed, If I'm the one running the team first thing I do at the end of the year is tell head coach Barry Irwin to take a hike and let Lee Hartnett run the team next year, Hartnett seems to know alot more about how to win then Irwin ever has or ever will.
As for other ball notes The Salford Blacksox look forward to making thier debut in the Tri-County fastball league next May a team that is bieng started up by this very blogger. I have the head coach in mind, now I just have to ask him. I have a idea in the kind of team I want, I want 3 or 4 throwers, one vetran pitcher at least, with 2 or 3 younger kids to learn off the vetran guy. Hopefully I can talk my brother into moving down this way when he gets done school in January, if he does he should be the starting shortstop and bat leadoff as for this fellow blogger I am the first baseman and will be perfect in the 7 or 8 hole, or at least it's worked out fine for me this season. Now the fun starts getting sponsors on board, getting the diamond details worked out and then off to scout some midget teams during thier playoff runs and try to get them on board. If you are interested in playing competetive fastball in 2009 let me know.
