Andrew Gets Two Hits In Little League Action

Andrew got two hits tonight in Little League action but his team the Astro's didn't fair as well. I don't know what the final score was beacause the scoreboard wasn't working. The Cardinals the team the played really fielded the ball well. Andrews team has three games next week and they are on monday at 6pm, thursday at 6pm, and sat at 2pm. I got back just in time to see the finish of the Busch race, from the highlights it looked like a very wild race. There were several big ones in the race in which Martin Truex Jr won. Maybe Jr can do the same that Martin did today, I think the race sunday also will be a wild one. Well it never did rain today even though it looked like it was going to rain most of the day, after looking at the radar it looks like Knoxville, Ga got some pretty big storms today. MICKEY

Little League Game

I am going to see Andrew's Little League tonight at 6pm weather permitting. It looks like there is alot of rain on the radar but maybe it will miss us for the most part. The Nextel Cup Series is at Talladega this weekend, if Jr is going to win won this is the track for him to do it. It's not looking to good though because Hermie Sadler had a better qualifying run than Jr, and thats not good. I have sent Lee several invites to join the blog but so far he still hasn't signed up, maybe he is mad at us. MICKEY
