The Winking Lizard

The Winking Lizard is a local Cleveland eatery and is the sponsor of a men's baseball team that I am playing on this summer. The league is for those of us at least 38 years old. The Lizard is off to great start this season as we won our third straight game to start the season. We are 3-0 and tied for first place.

The league web site with standings is here: http://www.clevelandhardball.org/2009%20standings%20and%20results.htm.

We have a great bunch of guys that enjoy playing together. Each week I will try and give some highlights to our game and tell you about one of my teammates.

Quick update on our first three games:

Game #1 - May 9th vs. Ballparkers - we have three solid pitchers on our team this year. Unfortunately, none were present when our opener started. We found ourselves down 9-2, only to be rescued by when Ray Carr showed up to pitch. We then went down 12-2, but came back to win 14-13, rallying for 4 in the bottom of the ninth. It was a great comeback.

Game #2 - May 16th vs. Brewers - we won last week 9-6 in a tight game.

Game #3 - May 23rd vs. Lightning & Lumber - today we won 9-3, I think. We played well and won pretty easily.

Go Lizards
