It's Raining so it must be Thursday

I could not believe it when I woke up this morning to the sound of rain, especially when the forecast was for rain later in the day. If the rain keeps up as it appears and we have to cancel, this will be the fifth consecutive Thursday night that has had soccer, softball or baseball games cancelled. Each year it seems that Mother Nature selects one night of the week to pick on. Unfortunately, this year it has been Thursday followed closely by Friday.

For those of you that play on Thursday/Friday, this is the last week of summer leagues for our adult softball program. Once this is week is over, we'll calculate the actual number of games that have been rained out so check back later to see the results. I'm sure the number will set all new records. We have never had this many rainouts.

Anyway, for those of you that play ball (or should I say, "played ball?") on Thursdays, thank you for your patience and understanding. If you're playing in the fall leagues on Thursday night, let's just hope that Mother Nature decides to fairly distribute the precipitation.
