Today's just a weird day. We're not moved into the new office suite yet, so there's no action there. I did go in the suite and it's OK. It'll be tighter than before, but it's a place away from home to work.
This is the first day since Naomi's surgery that I am away from home for a full day. It's eerie how quiet things are here.
No rest for the weary. Recover from the last ten days, now pack for St Louis.
Champion: Janesville (3)
Runner-Up: Tosa (first WS appearance)
Records Broken?
Season: 126 singles (Steve Robinson, OC)
Career: Andy Waite is now the new hits and HR champion!
On the verge: Cameron Stuart could set new wins record in the next couple seasons
Notable: .
Last Day in the 2300 Suite.
Morning in the office. Glad I didn't have to deal with the stupid hyenas on YouTube and getting Levi ready and hear Naomi's whining.
Anyway, 45 minute playlist:
Have to fix Busted Stuff
Champion: Sheboygan (1st title!)
Runner-Up: De Pere, who had the worst record of a division winner in WBL History
Records Broken? RBI all-time record broken by Andy Waite. HR and hits all-time record may be broken next season
Notable: 2B Levi Frets was traded to West Bend.
Overall pretty snoozy. I did like a couple of songs, but found myself getting restless midway through.
