Getting excited ...

HMom,
And hope you added into your bargain that Oklahoma's win or tie would NOT be against the mighty AJ. Right!!
Good luck to you both

Have a great trip!

Is this heaven?...

I'm excited for you! Have a great time. I hope you have a smooth and safe flight. My son leaves tomorrow for San Antonio, TX. I just saw on the weather that they are under tornado watches today....glad they don't go til tomorrow! My husband will be going down to catch a few games. I'm going to have to listen to it via computer feed. I WISH I WAS GOING!

Spring weather...groan. Good Luck. Mine left today on the bus to Minneapolis, fly out tomorrow to Ft. Myers. 12" snow forcasted for Minneapolis tonight and tomorrow. I feel your pain!

Cntrfieldsmom,

Well, we only ended up with about 6 inches of snow here in Minneapolis, but school was closed because it was still snowing during rush hour. But I'm sure your son's team's flight made it out sometime today. Good luck to them, and let me know how their trip goes. We are headed to Ft. Myers later this month (family vacation)!

MnMom,
They did make it out okay! I don't know what time they get to Ft. Myers (fly by the seat of your pants thing ) Details, details.

Cntrfieldsmom - keep us posted - good luck to your son! Hope he has his underarmour!

Pay attention to the feedback that takes you where you want to go!

My son called from Ft. Meyer's this evening. He said it was warm. They practiced today in shorts. Our first game is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:00 AM. My son does not pitch until Monday evening. This will only be his second start this spring. Anyone else's son in Ft. Meyers?

Very good luck to him! Other than a delay in Chicago, they made it fine. Was in shorts and a t-shirt, what a treat for him! Still in the 30's here. He'll have to break out the underarmour when they get home

Ladies

I'm leaving today for Panama City, FL. Looking forward to warm weather and great baseball for 5 days

Hope everyone else is having a safe and wonderful trip. Fill us in when you get home, as will I

Have a great trip!

Just got in from Norman, OK about an hour ago (and yes, I DO know where my priorities lie at 1:00 a.m.). Have to say that although we were delayed traveling on Thursday due to bad weather in Texas and Oklahoma, AND altho it was a bit chilly in Norman for the series ... NEVERTHELESS, it was the concensus of the UCR fans who attended the series (all 10 of us ) that the people of Oklahoma are absolutely some of the nicest, most courteous, and friendly people we have met in a long time.

When you come from California, it is not unusual to be treated as tho you had a contagious disease ... but we were all thrilled to be treated with respect and courtesy during our stay.

Thanks, Oklahomans, on behalf of the Highlander fans who met you this week-end.

On behalf of Oklahoma, thanks for the compliment. Generally speaking we are a friendly state, except when Bedlam rolls around and then ....

Highlandermom,

Congrats to AJ on the win! Sounds like he pitched a great game!

Just got in from a beautiful week of weather.

We played 8 games and went 3-5, three of the loses were very close games and the other 2 we took butt whippings (ouch!!). The competition was very good and it was good for the team to play tough teams. They had to leave a day early b/c we had a pitcher injured and ran out of pitching. Also our SS dislocated his shoulder and was removed from the field by ambulance. Please pray for him he is expected to be drafted this yr.

It was a great week for baseball... just need our guys to rest and recover from 8 games in 4 days.

Matt played well didn't hit the ball the way he can but .... it will come (I hope). I think there should be a hitters mom shirt also All in all he started every game but one....so I guess the coach knows he will hit.
