Bad News: Welcome

       Well fellas, there is no need to recap what went on, all of us know that the season didnt end in the fashion that we would have liked or grown accustomed to in the previous two years. This season was perhaps my most difficult season since year 1 with regards to managing. Every week was a chore to get guys down to the field, I understand that we lost guys and that stuff happens unfortunately, but in order for this TEAM to be successful going forward(and I define successful as winning a championship) it is going to take a FULL COMMITTMENT from the guys who want to play. This was a tough year getting that from guys and I dont hold that against them, as I said $hit happens.

       I look forward to the task at hand with regards to making sure that I dont put this TEAM in that position again going forward. Taking all things into consideration, it wasnt a total wash this season. We learned that you just cant go out there and show up when you think it matters the most, we got into a bad habit of thinking that the bats would just turn around at the drop of a hat, it doesnt work that way. I hope that each and every one of you guys learned something form this season that you can bring into next season. I know have, and I believe you guys have as well.

       It will be very important for me and this TEAM going forward to know who can make the COMMITTMENT necessary next year. As I will be looking to seek out new players for this TEAM throughout the season. I would like to have EVERY SINGLE GUY BACK, but I also understand that might not be the case. Please let me know early enough so that I know what I am up against. It isn't easy to find talented players who can the COMMITTMENT necessary to bring us back to the championship. If anybody has any ideas please feel free to bring them to me and DO NOT POST IT ON THE SITE! It will be a little bit of a challenge but not one that I am unprepared for.

       Fall ball will start up here tomorrow, and I hope most of you will be participating on the TEAM. Kevin will be running the TEAM and hopefully the fall season will jumpstart us for the spring/summer season. I believe it will.

       I have said it before and I will say it again: ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE LIKE MY SECOND FAMILY. YOU ARE A GREAT GROUP OF GUYS AND AN EVEN BETTER GROUP OF FRIENDS. I AM WHAT I AM BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS! LETS LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT FALL AND AN EVEN BETTER SPRING/SUMMER SEASON IN 2010! HAVE A GREAT FALL FELLAS AND I WILL SEE YOU GUYS DOWN AT THE FIELD!
