Back by popular demand...

It has been over a little over a year since our last post on the WW blog. After that last post we have received a steady stream of mail demanding that we activate the blog again. Through time the requests have become a little more desperate and in some cases threatening. We have also seen internet traffic reports for the site and we noticed an increase in site traffic since the last post. We would like to give in and start the site back up but if we were to do that, the terrorists would win. Instead, we have opened up a new siteand imported the old posts in so it's like we never left... Except for the fact that there hasn't been a post in over a year. I would like to thank all of the loyal fans who have waited patiently. Hopefully, we won't let you down.
Now it's time to get everyone caught up on the past year for WW softball. If I remember correctly, we lost the very next game after the last post. That loss demoralized the staff at HOTG and contributed to some of the factors that led to the shutdown of the old site. Despite the loss WW still won the league to make it 4 straight Friday A Championships. WW played well through the fall and summer but took some difficult losses and broke the championship streak. Since we won the spring league we were eligible for the end of season Tournament of Champions, but due to some paperwork issues WW was denied entry. There was an investigation into the rejection of the WW team and the official result was a technical glitch that affected the WW roster. An unnamed source (We can't say his name cause he was our lawyer and we wouldn't want to do him like that) close to the investigation said the problem was due to the mishandling of some paperwork at Plano P&R. We ended up settling out of court but it was pretty crazy.
The 2009 Winter meeting was a success. We picked up a full time player in Chris Heinrich, a power hitting infielder with speed. ZB was promoted to full time duty and is currently patrolling the outfield. Jay Jamison has committed to the team full time after spending a season with Austin Ave. Jay is an infielder that has been contributing in a utility role and is what we like to refer to as a 'softy'.
WW kicked off the season in the Pre-Season Tune-Up Tourny. Despite the 50 degree temp and winds of 30 MPH WW managed a 3-2 record. WW is currently 6-0 in the spring league. With two games to go WW is two games ahead of the 2nd place Budweiser. WW will face the queen of beers along with DHR next Friday (5/15) in a double header. WW will wake up early the next morning to play in the A league End of Season Tournament. We are still trying to decide how to handle the bye week this weekend since we don't play this Friday(5/8). There is some early talk of having a light BP session on Saturday and then recover at someones house nearby to discuss strategy and rehydrate.
