Adventures in Trespassing

Good times at soccer today. Went to play at the high school and there was football practice, so we went up to the soccer complex. Turns out thats not allowed. After playing for like an hour, two guys drive up and ask us to leave the field. It's apparently too much wear and tear on the fields to allow us to play, because they're trying to keep kids off the mean streets of Strongsville. But don't worry, we had Counseler Justice with us, so we gave them a good little fifteen minute argument. My big thing is this. First, who decides that, upon seeing five guys playing soccer on a field, they should call the trustees and get them to come out here. Second, at 8:30, about half an hour before sunset around here, is it really worth the effort to come out here and make an issue out of this. Of course, these guys couldn't actually confront us and ask us to leave. Nope. They just beat around the bush for half a hour. Very nice. Look, I understand where you guys are coming from. I understand that you leased the property and have the right to decide who can play on it. But this is ridiculous. And it least be straight with us, instead of making all these moral arguments to justify a point that you just leave hanging in the air.

Indians blew the game today. Wickman is going to blow some games. He lets balls get into play and sometimes they get some luck strung together. It'll happen, and he, at least, let us have a chance to win the game. Too bad it didn't get done. The bigger problem is that the offense continued to blow chances all game long. You've got to score baserunners to be successful in this league. That's about all you can say about the game today.

Tommorow holds promise of being an interesting day. Golf in the AM, apartment in the PM.

Peace
