July 15, Bianca Cruz Released From Contract

According to this story,  she is leaving the team to pursue other interests. She told the Sports Junkies that she has modeled in the past, and her picture got the station over 100,000 hits that day. Perhaps some other opportunities came doing that show. Bianca Cruz joined the team durin... [More]

June 29, Serrano's Perfect Game Gets Noticed by Local Paper

The local Chantilly/Fairfax Times, which is a free weekly tossed into driveways around the area, had a tiny blurb on Desi's game last weekend. Here is the story.  I guess it takes perfection to get noticed around here. The game also got a mention on SpySoftball.com and OurSpo... [More]

June 22, Results from Last Night's HR Derby at Westfield

I arrived a little before six PM, since we were told it was going to start at 6. With Team Venezuela still warming up all around the field, I had a feeling that it might be a little later. The Derby eventually got underway around 6:12 or so, and it was later announced that the start time would... [More]

June 11, Glory Trades Stephanie Best to Rockford

In a surprise move (at least to me), Best has been traded to Rockford for future draft considerations. (I just found this out thanks to a comment to my previous post, from the Knoble family.) The story says that she will be a starter for Rockford, so it looks to be a good trade for her. I'm ... [More]
