We had our first softball game on Wednesday in the upper division. If you remember, I said we only lost one game last session and easily walked away with the trophy. But this session, we moved up to the more competitive division. Well, we won our first game 12-9 in extra innings... and we didn't play that well until extra innings, so I think we belong. The other thing was, we didn't have all of our players, so that really made me feel good about it. Next week will be the big test, as we will be facing the team that normally wins this division.
The Lions just got done playing their first pre-season game of the year... AND THEY WON!!! It was actually pretty thrilling. They were losing 26-10 going into the 4th quarter to the Cincinnati Bengals. They scored 17 unanswered points in the 4th to win. They also kicked and onside kick, blocked a punt and a field goal... all in the 4th quarter. Now, this game didn't mean squat, but it was fun to watch especially at the end. For a Lions fan who hasn't seen any hope since Barry Sanders last donned honolulu blue and silver, that was pretty therapeutic. Calvin Johnson, the Lions first round picked looked very promising hauling in some very nice receptions. I hope he and Roy Williams can both stay healthy and be productive, because they can be DEADLY.
On a sad note, the Tigers are habitually losing again. They lost 8-1 in a day game to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of all teams. With the loss, the Tigers ended up tying the Tampa in the series 2-2. Tomorrow the Tigers host Oakland and me, so hopefully they will start pitching better and get a little bit of a roll going. Young Jordan Tata is pitching for Detroit, who is one of the bright spots in the rotation right, so that should bode well for the Tiggers.
