There is no crying in baseball, just some rain, at least here in Alaska. We got rained out today and will now play one of the games on Wednesday. Since last Monday(15th) we have had rain almost everyday. Wish there was a way to ship this rain down to the lower 48, at least the Palmetto State. I heard it was closing in on 100 degrees today with no rain in sight.
I talked to a local today who has spent most of his life here in Anchorage. He said it is the worse summer he can remember since 1968. They got some snow in July that year, who knows, we may get a flurry or two before it is all over.
We will now play a split doubleheader against the Pilots on Wednesday(12pm) and then head down to Palmer and play the Miners(6pm). Talk about some creative scheduling. The bad thing is they are forecasting more rain for tomorrow(Tuesday).
The temps have been a cool 50-ish for the last 7-10 days. The low for tonight is set for high 40's. I know that would be a welcome relief back home.
Here is some catching up for all at home:
Kirkland: Is growing out of his windpants this summer. We had to look at buying him some new ones at Wal-Mart the other day. His jeans are okay, but his windpants are slowly shrinking on him. Of course, with all the rain those high waters come in handy. These rainy days are playing havoc with his "energy level". We have to remind ourselves he has cooped up for several days due to the rain. He has enjoyed being bat boy and hanging out with the players. He plays catch each game and gets to know the guys each day.
Kaylee: Has 23 big brothers to hang out with each day and she loves it. Being the only girl she is eating the attention up. Her singing has picked up as she entertains us each day. She is growing as well and getting taller each day. I still think she is going to be taller than Kirkland.
Tammy: She is doing good, getting some good rest and looking forward to meals each day. I can say that since she is pregnant, otherwise, I would be in some big trouble. The baby is starting to cut cart wheels now and wakes her up around 5 am each day.
One of our player's dad was up visiting and told us his family's tradition of naming children. They all start with an "R" and have the same initials. He thought we were doing that with Kirkland and Kaylee and asked what we were going to name our third. We told him we had not really thought of any names yet......he mentioned staying with the "K" name series and since we were in Kenai.........well, you get the picture.
That's all for tonight, going to try and get in bed before 11 tonight. That will be a first.
