Game 2 preview

Our next game is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday 8/31 at Fort Snelling field #4. Please arrive by 6:45 and bring your $21 if you haven't paid yet. My credit card bill with $360 in kickball charges is due.

Also, we need to provide two umpires for the 8 p.m. game, so think about if you want to get your ump obligations over with for the season.

There is no game next Tuesday because of Labor Day week.

Our next opponent is the veteran Grass Kickers. They've apparently been around for years, but I can't offer much insight into them because they've been pretty Jeckyl & Hyde. In the spring of 2003, they went 7-2 and became the "Minnesota League Champions." Then, in the fall of 2003, they went 0-7. And in the spring of 2004, they apparently didn't play.

So, the question is: Which Grass Kickers will show up on Tuesday?

a) the state champions;
b) the winless wonders; or
c) the team that never showed up at all?

I don't know, but if we maintain our offensive focus from last week and stay smart on defense, it should be a good game.
