If we would get rained out tonight, we would try playing tonights game tomorrow morning at 11 and then push every game back one time slot and have the last game played at 5:30. Meaning 4 games would be played Saturday at each field, instead of the 3 that are originally on the schedule. If we would get rained out Sat too, well then we are screwed I guess.

I believe that may be the goal of many players on several teams this weekend.. to get "screwed" that is....

I remember a young Freddy Factor that tried in vain a lot of summers too....Still wondering what drug has a strong enough effect that you succeeded once. Must be strong considering it's side effects has lasted about 3 years

Our game was pushed to 1. By the looks of the radar, it will be tough to play then as well.

Sure be nice if someone could post the brackets and if and what time they are playing today, it is really frustrating for people to know if they should make a trip to Freeport if they are playing or not. If you going to hold a event as such, please keep the people informed.

That time of year again.... Any predictions?
Sounds like Spring Hill and the Jays will both be short on numbers Friday... enough guys for the game, but post game beer sales might be down a little!

We're trying to get 9 there by 6:30 but we have reinforcements coming later to help with the beer sales.
Looks like rain in the forecast...wouldn't be a Black Sox tourney without it.

I stopped by the field last night as I saw a few cars in the parking lot and figured a few of the Freeport boys were around, and the field looks GREAT! Looking forward to watching some ball over there tomorrow night!

As of now it looks like most of the rain will be overnight and the days look ok on the hourly forecast. Lets hope that we can get the games in.
My prediction on weather are for personal gain though so they might be a little off!

Well the lights were finally on lastnight for a test run/practice. As long as the rain holds off a little bit, I think we should be in for a weekend full of some good ball and good times.

I think the games are a side note. To the more important things. Did we get a beer shipment and will it be cold? Also make sure to have enough raffle tickets available. Rumor is you get a free hot dog with the purchase of ticket. That deal has not been confirmed but I am in negotiations with the important people.
