October 3rd Tie

Pouring over the first game in Smyrna that I missed, it appears the game was a tie. Based on Paul’s scorekeeping and Will’s recollections…Curtis pitched the first 3 innings, followed by one inning each of Will and David, then John Fulton for 2 scoreless innings. Will said in the last inning just about everyone walked…then Paul got a hit. Joey led off with his long fly out, then 7 straight walks!? (Curtis, Josiah, Bradford, Russell, Christian, David, and Will). Paul got a hit, but was put out on base? John Fulton and Michael reached base (walk or hit?), then Jonathan struck out to end the inning. Looks like Smyrna had the winning run on first with 2 out when time was called.

Big surprise that Andruw’s agent wants big bucks.

Will has his last practice tonight, though this winter a coach is going to practice on Saturdays, weather permitting. Sunday he may try out for a spring travel team.

Took Anna and Matthew to Moes last night.

Tomorrow night they’re having a retirement reception down at Tech for a lady, so I should see a lot of college friends, if I can make my way through traffic.

Any big plans for Halloween? I see the Avenue has stuff from what, 3 to 5? We’ll be at Will’s game and party. Johnson Ferry puts on a huge deal Saturday evening from 6 to 9, with rides and animals and everything. I’m sure we’ll be there. Tuesday we’ll trick or treat in our neighborhood, unless someone talks the kids into going around another ‘hood.

Had a mole that sneaked in the house the other night while the kids were watching TV…Anna thought it was cute. Hopefully it’s not nesting somewhere in the garage.

Last week he revealed that on the famous photo of Bill Buckner walkingoff the field after committing the World Series error, since he hadtaken off his mitt and was carrying it in his other hand, you can seewhat kind of batting glove he was wearing...one with the Chicago Cubs logo. He had been playing with the Red Sox two years...carrying the twomost famous curses in professional sports on his back.
