MICKEY, OUT OF ACTION TODAY



After throwing batting practice four days in a row I will be out of action today with several undisclosed ailments. Let's just say I am hurting pretty bad and I just need a little time to recover from a few injuries, the pitching machine will have to see some action today. The Richmond Renegades will be at home tonight against the Knoxville Ice Bears in which will be a 1 game home stand, the CAA basketball tournament will be at the RC next week so the Gades won't be back at home for another 2 weeks. The AAA sate high school wrestling tournament begins today in northern Virginia, Colonial Heights will have three wrestlers going for state titles. The UVA baseball team begins a three game home stand with Bucknell this afternoon. Were in the world has Keith been, the government must have him working to hard. The Nextel Cup Series and Busch Series will be racing at the California Speedway this weekend. MICKEY

Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
