It's settled. Finally. We will make up Tuesday's rainout v. the Hot Rods this Saturday 2:00 at Greene's. We won't have a full squad for this one, but it looks like we will have enough to field a team. The Hot Rods currently occupy third place in the National Division and have put up impressive numbers offensively so far this season.
Saturday's game against the Hot Rods begins a stretch of three games in three days for the Red Wings. On Sunday, we face the Durham Bulls, the league's other unbeaten team. The Bulls are an excellent ball club, very well-coached with some of the league's best pitchers and a lineup that can do some serious damage. Sunday's game promises to be our toughest challenge yet.
On Monday, it doesn't get any easier. We face the Diamond Jaxx, who at 3-1 currently sit in second place, one game behind the Red Wings in the National Division standings. This is not the same Diamond Jaxx team we scrimmaged at the end of spring training. They will have their ace pitcher and their two hottest hitters--all three of whom were absent for our last meeting in April. Do not be fooled. This is a very, very good team.
Three games, three days, three tough opponents. This will be a challenge, but we're ready for it. Now all we need is some sun.
