BACKLOG OF INFO...

So I know I’m a few days behind, the internet does not cooperate. With being at the field most of the day, and not having internet in my room, it’s tough to sit out by the pool at 1 in the morning when it’s freeezing out. Anyways. Where I left off I think was Thursday. Maybe. I’m on team blythe. We play 8 home games in Blythe, California, which is about 1 hour 20 minutes away from yuma. But it seems much longer because we basically travle through the set of the hills have eyes. Literally. You don’t want to run out of gas out there, because there’s no place to stop in between. Well, except for the little town that’s about 1/10 of a square mile. Haha. The sheriff’s office is a double wide, and there’s only one cruiser in the town. Crazy. Anyways. It’s finally warming up during the day, and we had our first practice Thursday afternoon.

Our first game was Friday, against the silver sox, and we ended up winning 9-7 after they were up like 7-3. We started out hot, we went up 3-1, but then were down 7-3. I came up with bases loaded in the bottom of the first, and hit a fly ball to the wall and got a sac fly. Didn’t get any hits that night. Arcadia did good had a few hits and a couple bags. Our pitchers walked a ton of guys, that’s the only reason they scored 7 runs. We went to sizzler after the game in Blythe, and the drive home was crazy. We were basically due north, but in a different time zone. So game was at 630, but really 730, but really 930. Haha. We got back around 1am yuma time.

We had to be at the field at 2pm on Saturday for our next game, which was also in blythe. We were playing the scorpions. We went up big, 5-0, but then coughed it up and ended up losing 11-6. Our pitchers did better, but we blew it when we had the bases loaded and nobody out: ground ball back to the pitcher, and he MISSED it, messing up a sure double play. Next batter hit a ground ball to the second baseman who bobbled it, and only got one out. Then they got a few hits. I ended up with one hit. Flythe is on the scorpions, he had a hit too. Lingren dh’d for the scorpions, but he didn’t get a hit.

Olsen drove to the game because the night before we took too long at sizzler. So we ate and got outta there pretty quickly. On the way home, we were talkin about what we would do if we saw someone walking on the side of the road, or what about an animal that ran out. Somebody said something about a deer, and we were like, there’s no way there’s a deer out here, because it’s a desert! Not 10 minutes later, olsen started screaming he saw 2 deer on the side of the road. I didn’t believe him. Well, when we got back to the clubhouse, I decided to take a shower, and olsen left with arcadia and boom boom, who got that nickname because he hit a home run against the silver sox. 20 minutes later, kash walks in and says, “did you see me hit that deer?” he apparently slammed into one of the only 2 deers out in the desert. There was still hair on the front of the van. Glad I didn’t ride in the van- that would have been crazy!!


Well, Sunday was an off day for the super bowl, and that’s where I’m at now. I slept till about 1230, and went to hometown buffet with mitch for lunch. Then came back to the room to relax and watch the game. Then played a little xbox with lingren and mitch, and now I’m about to go to bed.

I’ll try not to get so backed up on here because it’s hard to remember details when I do.


Night.
