Cricket vs Baseball


Friday was a rest day for the team, and we got to go to the Baseball game and watch the Springfield Cardinals. They are the local team and play in the AA League. They made it very special for the team, introducing us to the crowd and we got to pitch the 1st pitch and hit signed balls into the crowd. People say cricket is boring but nothing comes close to baseball.


On Friday I was running around trying to find out where we can watch the 3rd test between the Boks and the Lions. I was not going to miss this test match and Raven and Myself went to John Cooper our team owner's house to watch the game. It was so disappointing to see the Boks play below average rugby. It is such a talented group of guys and it is a sin for them to loose. I compare it to a coach that shows up at Wimbledon coaching Federer, Nadal, the Williams sister and Roddick and can't win one title. I can't see how we can beat the All Blacks playing like that.


Tomorrow night we play our 2 nd match of the season against the Kansas City Explorers. Vania King our doubles specialist will play her 1st World Team Tennis match . It will be nice to play again after we had 2 days off. It is suppose to rain but we are very fortunate that they have great facilities at COOPER stadium with 12 indoor courts. I will be back tomorrow.
