#01 - I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on the radio, but we haven't had the best schedule the last few weeks
And now today we are in a rain delay again!!
Hopefully we can play so we don't have to play two games tomorrow
I am still hanging in there and the good thing is that I feel really good at the plate
The two 'walks' in yesterday's game help because it lets me know I am "seeing the ball okay"
Will try to get a 'homer' in the next few games - it's been too long since I've had one!!
#02 - It doesn't matter about the "power" - it would be nice but it's not everything all the time!!
What if I had more home runs but only hitting 250?? - I wouldn't like that!!
See how we go tonight
