The Washington Capitals season came to an end last night at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers in OT 3-2, after not calling anything in the 3rd and OT the refs decided to give the Flyers a power play which lead to the Flyers game winning goal. I didn't have a problem calling the penalty in OT but when you let everything go for over 28 minutes and then call a penalty in the neutral zone I do have a problem with that. Also the New York Rangers will now face the Pittsburgh Penguins instead of Montreal since the Flyers won last nights game. All CD baseball games were washed out yesterday, the Colonials will now play Matoaca on Friday at 6pm and TD will play there game with Hopewell in May. The Colonials will be at home Thursday night at 6pm against Prince George. The sun did make a brief appearance yesterday afternoon and it looks like it will be out a little more today but it will not be completely sunny and looking at the forecast it looks like it might rain again this weekend. Well we couldn't practice on the field yesterday but we were able to hit in the cage and after having 4 days off my arm was feeling pretty good however I did throw allot pitches so my arm could be a bit sore by this afternoon. MICKEY

DIET TIP, You should be wise on your diet
Weight loss is not easy goal, and you should realize it. You have to work hard to reach your goal.
However, it would be better to work it day by day, difficult doesn’t mean impossible. If you cheated on your diet yesterday, you don’t have to feel guilty or even beat yourself up. You should accept it and add it into your dieting routine. On a diet, it’s not about what you eat, but how you eat.
1789 - Courier De Boston was published for the first time in, of course, Boston, MA. It was the first Roman Catholic magazine in the United States.
1872 - Charlotte E. Ray became the first black woman lawyer -- in ceremonies held in Washington, DC.
1900 - The word, hillbilly, was first used in print in an article in the New York Journal. It was spelled a little differently, as the story said that a Hill-Billie was a “free and untrammelled white citizen of Alabama, who lives in the hills.” The article continued that “he has no means to speak of, dresses as he can, talks as he pleases, drinks whiskey when he gets it and fires off his revolver as the fancy takes him.”
1951 - The Associated Press began use of its new Teletypesetter circuit. The AP provided a perforated, paper-tape message to a news bureau in Charlotte, North Carolina. The message was then fed to a monitor for preparation into a printer. From there, the newspaper copy was completed.
1954 - Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit his first major-league home run on this day.
1963 - Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds got his first hit in the major leagues. It was a booming triple off the Pirates’ Bob Friend. ‘Charlie Hustle’ went on to break Ty Cobb’s all-time hitting record more than 20 years later, playing for the Reds, the Phillies and the Expos.
1964 - Ken Johnson of the Houston Colts will certainly never forget this day. Johnson tossed the first no-hit game -- for a loss -- in baseball history. Cincinnati’s Reds beat Johnson’s no hitter by a score of 1-0. The Reds capitalized on two costly Houston errors. We wonder what Johnson had to say in the locker room..
1985 - The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, GA, made a showy, glitzy announcement that it was changing its 99-year-old secret formula. New Coke was called “the most significant soft drink development” in the company’s history. Yeah, well, so much for history. Fans of the original Coke were instrumental in bringing Classic Coke back. The way they did it was, actually, quite ingenious. They didn’t buy the new Coke and it turned out to be one of the biggest corporate flops ever.
