It is noon on Monday May 5th.  Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!!!  I know I have not updated in a long time, but there just hasn’t been that much to do.  However this weekend was a busy one.  On Thursday It was still a pretty slow day and then on Friday is when everything picked up.  Late in the day we ended up getting the pocket schedules.  So I started to put them in the boxes.  I start to deliver them tomorrow which will take up a lot of the day.  After that I had to go to the Airport at 6 and 7 pm to pick up players from the airport.  It gets annoying driving to and from the airport, but it is one of those things you have to do.

On Saturday we had our local tryouts.  there were 6 guys that came out to tryout and we ended up keeping 3 of them and inviting them to spring trainning.  It was a really fun day for me as I first when the registration table.  Then as the tryouts were going on I got to walk around the field and take pictures and when they started hitting I was able to stand behind the cage and take pictures and just be involved in the whole process.  It was the first time that I really felt that I was a part of a baseball team.  I then wrote a story on it and you can see it on our website now.

After that I went back to the hotel and watched the Cubs Cardinals game and relaxed for a bit.  Then at 6 pm I headed back to the field as a local Mexican wrestling promotion was holding an event there and we were going to sell some beer to make some money.  I worked the cash register all night and I worked with the assistant coach of the team as well as my boss.  We had a good time just hanging out and serving the beer.  It took us a while to figure out how to get the draft beer flowing as no one was really experienced in that.  That led to some very funny moments throughout the night.

On Sunday, I had to drive to the airport and pick up a few more players here and there.  That was pretty much it, as I was finally able to relax and watch the Cubs Cardinals game on Sunday Night Baseball.  I was planning on going to bed after that, but I found that the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks game 6 was on the TV and they were tied at 1 in the 3rd.  Little did I know I would be watching a game that featured some of the best goaltending I ever saw.  Because of that goaltending the game went 4 overtimes till the Stars scored to win the series 4-2, setting up a matchup in the conference finals against the Detroit Red Wings.  It was nice to finally watch a good overtime hockey playoff game as I haven’t seen one in a while.

Well that is all I got for now.  Hope everyone had a good weekend and has a great week.  Just want to say Happy Aniversary to my Grandparents today!!! Have a good one everyone.
