– Yesterday’s no-shows: Kevin Ghalambor and Wright Cole. Not cool. We had eight players. One of you two must be educated enough to make a call. Maybe not.

– Tim Evans told the waitress last night at the higher thought sessions at Bambino’s that I had come out of the closet that day. What Tim didn’t tell her was that I came out of his closet.

– Immediately following next week’s game, I will send out invoices for the Strikeout for Beer Keg Fundraiser. You will have thirty days to render payment. After that, someone will be paid to kill you.

– I wanted to take a brief moment and discuss the spam email issue. It has come to my attention that a few players, if not all, were on the receiving end of spam directed to superbas.org. I have been receiving this spam all along, but I didn’t think much of it because of the large number of spam email I receive everyday. I failed to recognize that it may have landed in your inbox as well. I first want to ensure you that, no, I did not sell your email addresses for a penny or two, nor do I run an insecure website. These emails are generated by automated spam programs, or “spambots,” that crawl the web, much like Google or Yahoo! do, but instead of culling search keywords, the spambots cull email addresses. So, every time I post coach@superbas.org on the blog, which I do every week in the “next game” post, these spambots pick it up. And that is what happened to the team email address (team@superbas.org). I created the team email address, as well as other email addresses for the east and west sides, etc., so I could send an email to everyone without cherry-picking through my address book. But now that almost everyone is subscribed to the blog, and that I communicate almost exclusively through the blog, I have no need for the team email addresses, so I eliminated all of them. That should take care of the problem. However, if you do get a spam email directed to superbas.org, please forward it to me at coach@superbas.org, and I will investigate. Once again, I apologize for my shortsightedness on this issue.

– We have only one more game, so let’s end the season on a good note.

– Who is interested in the fall league? Wednesdays?

– Tim Evans is thinking late August for the Superbas summer banquet.
