What t...I have to say that the Dutch impressed me. What they managed to do by humiliating the Dominicans was nothing less than fabulous. (Sorry, Edison, Johnny and Willy.)<BR/><BR/>Sure, it was a short Series, and over time, the D.R. would surely prove to be the (much, much, MUCH) better team, but this is a microcosm of what the 2009 season can be for the Reds. <BR/><BR/>They enjoy little respect. They're a bunch of kids with a lot of heart. I hope they can surprise somebody in the 2nd round as well.<BR/><BR/>-Gary MaloyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21666786.post-57783021014512273192009-03-12T10:05:00.000-04:002009-03-12T10:05:00.000-04:00I played in a softball tournament in the Netherlan...I played in a softball tournament in the Netherlands back in 1984. About the only thing eventful was the beer and a friend of mine who managed to chat up the daughter of the guy who owned the bed and breakfast where we were staying. The two of them snuck into the kitchen in the middle of the night to get some privacy. She heard her parents come out into the open area (outside the kitchen). They snuck out of the kitchen onto a balcony, and the girl forgot that the door would lock automatically behind them. So there they were, half naked, no way down, and needing help. One of those stories you never forget, haha.<BR/><BR/>Aaahhhh, the memories of youth.<BR/><BR/>C.L. if you read this and I inadvertently changed anything about your Dutch girl story, please feel free to correct me!<BR/><BR/>-Gary Maloy (ex-USAF)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
