I've not been at the last 2 away games since I was out of town but the same old story this year...it's time for that part of the season where we start noticing how really bad some of the umps can be. Seems some very bad calls both at the plate and in the field were made on Sunday night and one of them would have changed the game from a loss in 11 innings to a win in 9! Monday night's game wasn't as bad, I listened to it, but the strike zone was not at all defined. At least the guy was consistently bad for both teams, neither our players nor their broadcasters thought too much of that. There was also a play that sounded very questionable ending in a player being thrown out of the game and for fun...Kevin came in to play 3rd base. I bet he enjoyed that! So that's the story for those 2 games, back home finally tonight. We also looked at the schedule for all teams and we're the only one that has so many away games back to back on a regular basis, combined with very few home stands. Ours are 3 sets of 2 games in a row while McKinney for example has a run of 5 and more games that are every other day home and away. It's gonna be a tough season, but we have the best team no matter what happens!
