Detroit Lions Have Pretty Good Draft With Nice Upside
April 28, 2008
This past weekend was the NFL Draft. Its the time of year where faithful fans anxiously await to see who their team is going to select to better their chances in the upcoming season. This weekend was no different for me.
I believe the Detroit Lions had a pretty good draft. They might have reached in a few spots, but at least they were smart and drafted players in the positions in which they had holes. Several of the players have a huge upside and could turn out to be the steals of the draft. Unfortunately, they could just as easily be the bust of the draft.
I have written a complete breakdown of the Lions draft over on my Detroit Lions Fan site. Head on over there and see what I think of the draft.
Sean’s Baseball Season In Full Swing
April 23, 2008
If its Spring time and we seem busy than usual, it must be baseball season. And it is in full swing. Sean wanted to play with some older and more capable kids this year so he is now playing in a neighboring city instead of Sonoita. When I say neighboring, keep in mind we live in very rural America. The city is 30 minutes away.
The busy schedule has him with practices on Monday evening. He then has games on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on Saturday afternoon. This schedule keeps us hopping pretty good. The Tuesday and Thursday games are usually somewhat “local” and anywhere from 30 – 45 minutes from home. The Saturday games are as far as 90 minutes away.
So far this season, Sean’s team is off to a nice 3 – 1 start. After losing their opening game, they have run off three straight victories and are starting to come together as a team. The pitchers are finding starting to get their rhythm and the bats are starting to loosen up. With a planned 18 games this season, we still have quite a ways to go. The regular season is then followed by the playoffs and state tournament competition.
Once again, Sean is playing catcher this year. He is having a hot and cold season at the plate. He is hitting nicely, with a nice amount of doubles and triples. However, he also has some strikeouts against him as he is still learning to protect the plate with 2 strikes. He has taken too many called third strikes to suit me.
So if you are looking for us for the next couple months, we are likely at the ballpark. And just think, when baseball season ends, we get a short break before football season begins. Oh, and Savannah is still taking her dance classes five nights a week.
