We should pay no attention whatsoever to Cat Osterman's recent performances in the KFC World Cup and the Pan Am games. What matters is how she does against real competition: the NPF. Cat has lost twice this season in the NPF, in just 5 starts. Her losses were at the Chicago Bandits on June ... [More]

On some of the sports networks (like MASN around here) there is a weekly show called Softball 360. The continuing focus of this show is to follow the Long Haul Bombers as they perform in home run hitting contests in MLB stadiums. Each show includes a clip called Fast Pitch Focus. At the sta...

On the opening night of our series against the Force (Wed, the 18th), the National Team was in town before leaving the next day for the Pan Am games (and yet another Gold Medal). This was also the night that Monica Abbott threw out the first pitch (overhand). There was supposed to be a press co... [More]

Glory's MySpace blog entry coming soon? I'm not sure if we'll be seeing a blog entry from the Glory for this game, so here is an NPF website story written by the opponent. Game recap. It was Desiree Serrano vs Jamee Juarez for the series finale. We needed ... [More]

Glory's MySpace blog entry. Game recap. This is an away game, so no detailed recap tonight. This is what I've learned from the blog entry and the NPF game recap. (Note: Sorry about the delay getting this posted last night - about the time I finished it, my internet connec... [More]

I heard from Callie Piper's dad and Jessica Moore's brother, so if you start seeing more detailed stuff about those two plus Nicole Barber, you'll know why. I started writing about the games hoping it would help get the word out, and maybe get people interested and excited eno... [More]

I just got a very nice email from Robin Barber, Nicole's mom. She was able to see a homestand here a few weeks ago, and she said she agreed with the "one big happy family" comments. Nicole has not played in the NPF before, but during her visit Robin talked to some ladies who have p... [More]

Glory's MySpace blog entry. Game recap. Tonight's game was long, both because of many runs scored, and some long at-bats by many players (including many foul balls, but most of them remained in the field of play, so not so many souvenirs for us). There wasn't the drama of ... [More]
