Hola Michael!

I had no problems with Belgium. Red China 
I'd avoid...probably...unless it was for 
photographic purposes.

Not only would we be proud...we'd like
to have him in OUR lineup!!
Pineda is doing quite well, has one
of the nastiest slider's I've EVER seen.
Throws too many strikes so far, he 
can afford to waste a few just to keep
the batters guessing.  Felix is doing well,
Vargas just got a complete game shutout
(first in his career) and the bullpen has 
been doing great. What HAS changed is that
we're getting some timely hitting and productive
at bats and actually moving the baserunners
instead of just leaving them stranded out there!

All the folks around her thought so

Yep, I think he's  allergic to grass! LOL

I was often one of the smallest guys in my 
grade level, and bullies seem to think that
made me "fair game" for bullying. When I came 
home crying from getting beat up, my dad would
give me a whipping and send me back out to find
the guy(s) who did it and give THEM a beating..
I learned several things...when in a fight, fight 
to WIN, and if you get beat, don't let the old man
find OUT about it. Thankfully once the bullies got
it through their dim brains that I was not going to
roll over and cry uncle without getting my licks in 
first, they generally laid off me and anyone that was
my friend. 
 
chat with you soon!
