This week's collection of miscellany
A few selected thoughts on relatively random items:
The readers have spoken: Over the last three days the votes have come in with 30 people suggesting that the Caveman original story was worthy of submission to the Softball Ontario contest and not one vote dissenting. I'll send it in and I'll let you know if I hear anything back.
Rules quiz: Mrs. Fastball's question about the Ryan Shannon shootout attempt in the Sens-Rangers game tonight (asked seriously): "Are they not allowed to raise the puck in a shootout?"
Friday night action: Speaking of hockey rules, I'll be enforcing some (or at least trying to) at Game 4 of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Junior B Conference Finals with the Athens Aeros visiting the Winchester Hawks at 8:15 with the home team up 2-1 in the best-of-seven. C'mon out and watch, Jr B hockey is great at playoff time. If you can't make it no worries - they are live streaming it online. (I'll be the slow old guy in the striped shirt.) The Hawks are managed by a familiar name to many GOFL'ers - "John Boy".
In the other series, the Metro-Valley Conference finals, the Clarence Castors are up 3-0 on the Renfrew Timberwolves. The game at the Ma-Te-Way Arena in the 'Frew starts at 8pm - if you can't make that one, it will be on "MyFM Radio" and you can listen live online to another name familiar to local fastballers - Larry Regan, former organizer of the Renfrew Merchants fastball team that used to play in the Upper Ottawa Valley league does the play by play.
Fitzroy Junior Hockey Update: Fitzroy Jr's West Carleton Novice team is currently in the Novice B Championship Final against, you guessed it, Edgy Jr's Carleton Place team. Loser leaves town grudge match on Thursday in CP - we'll let you know how things finish.
The Twitter: Originally, I thought it was kind of stupid. But actually I'm getting to like this Twitter thingy. Check it out and if you sign up follow Fitzroy Fastball.
A site to bookmark: If you haven't already, be sure to bookmark Fastpitch West and check it out regularly. Very professional layout, especially when compared to this ugly thing and it always has interesting articles from across the world of fastball, edited by Jim Flanagan out in sunny Cali. And I'm not just recommending it because he's giving this blog props!
