The Flu Bug has left...Now the Rain Must GO!

The great game teaches a great deal about patience. Working through a hitting slump, or trying to find your pitches again are all lessons. Standing in Right Field when the entire lineup of the other team bats right handed.....patience. But this whole H1N1 Flu bug, and the never ending rain has been enough to drive us all a little crazy.

I'm glad the Flu scare was just a scare, and am grateful that not as many people as was feared got sick. Personally, though, I would have much rather have had the kids outside playing. Of course, I guess the baseball gods could see the week and a half of rain we've had here in North Texas coming. So the Flu was as good as any other excuse for holding us up.

Now, though, we're going to be hard pressed to get the season in, before we have to move into Little League tournament time. That's a big deal. I've been lucky enough to participate in that. As a Manager it's a terrifying time, but very rewarding after the dust settles. I'll save that for another post.

Right now it's time to get the boys and girls back onto the fields of glory. Inside the foul lines where all the magic happens.
