Just like you, I was a little bit before title nine. I always loved tennis and tennis courts were few and far between. My Dad, (I love that he was kid who never grew up) used to take me to a warehouse on the week ends and using chalk, he'd chalk off half a court on the asphalt (he'd measure it)
and I would hit the ball against the warehouse wall. He'd run around and retrieve all of my errant balls. He knew nothing about tennis. As I got older, and still loved everything tennis, two tennis courts were built not too far from our house and he'd take me, and he'd stand on the other side of the net and toss me balls. Because he was a fierce competitor, those balls were not tossed right to me, i had to run and actually work to return a volley. Finally, when I was a Junior in High school. Tennis courts were layed and I made the tennis team, turned out I was pretty good! All from my basterdsized training from my dad. I still play occasionally. It's hard to find someone who likes to play. I love what the Williams' sisters have brought to tennis. Tremendous athletes, both of them.

Back to baseball. Here we are, almost at half way baseball mark and the Pirates are 2 1/2 out of first place. Thank you cleveland for continuing to beat down those reds! Because I love the battery of baseball (pitching and catching) I tend to be a little myoptic with the pitchers. The poor AL pitchers having to bat and oh my goodness, RUN, is just pittiful.....Cleveland lost Fausto Carmona as he was running to first and he tripped over his own two feet, did a belly flop and had to be removed....(sorry, I had to giggle) Baserunning is such an important part of the game and the AL and the DH makes it a bit harder for us National leaguers to get that part of the game being remiss. (You may recall, how we Booed Ortiz for not running out a weakly hit ground ball to first ~Bo Sox~) well, again DH. And then seeing the Indians pitcher who couldn't bat and then couldn't run....can anyone tell me why AL games are almost an hour longer than NL games on average?

Go Pirates! It's so good to not be the basement Bucs!
