Well, we lost. That is, the Trenton Thunder lost. It was a tough Championship series and we just couldn’t pull through and win three out of five. The loss was emotional for most because it meant going home. It meant leaving new friends and a team that we may never play with …
It’s Monday, September 10th and it’s a travel day. The Trenton Thunder won the first series of the post season in four games against the Reading Phillies and, I am not trying to jinx us, but we are now three wins away from becoming AA Eastern League Champions. It has been a very long season …

Throughout my blog I have touched on my lack of interest in social media. Having moved this year for baseball season to be by David’s side has opened up my eyes to things I wish I never knew. The expression ignorance is bliss is so utterly true yet with everything out on the Internet, being …

The other day a very interesting article about the wives of NBA players and their fashion was brought to my attention while perusing twitter. After reading the article it gave me an entirely new appreciation for baseball games and made me only more grateful that David chose to swing a bat for a living as …
Since this is my first year living with David during baseball season I have become increasingly aware of what goes on in the stands.
