(I waited to post this, just in case some readers had recorded the Gold Medal game. By now, I think everyone knows the winner.) Based on some things I have heard about the Olympic Team, I'm left to wonder if they might have been a factor in their own demise.  (By Olympic Team, I me... [More]

How we fare in Wisconsin depends on which team shows up. If it's the same team that was wearing the Glory jerseys in New England, we will go 0-2. If it's the team that won 5 of the previous 6 games before New England, we'll have a shot at repeating. Although the NPF story sugge... [More]

Nicole Barber's mom has asked me to see if any other readers are heading up to Wisconsin to cheer on our ladies. I'm sure the people of Kimberly remember how much fun the team was last year, so we'll probably have some fans up there. But it would be nice to have some home town hoot... [More]

The Glory make their first ever trip to New England this weekend. (We did not visit them last year thanks to the non-balanced schedule.) Both years, we started the season off with a home series against the Riptide, and both times we went 3-1. We also beat them in our only matchup in the champi... [More]

Maybe one day, if softball returns to the Olympics,  there will come a time when the NPF has its own Pete Orr. Orr plays for the Washington Nationals, and he was selected to play on the Canadian Olympic team. But it's the dream of every little league player to play in the Majors, so w... [More]

Everyone reading this knows that Angela Tincher is coming to town. She's the star pitcher of the Akron Racers, the final home opponent this season. She's also the former star of Virginia Tech, so it will be interesting to see if she can draw some of the large number of Tech alumni in o... [More]

I've added a new page, called 2008 Season-At-A-Glance, available under the Pages list (below the Archives at the left hand side of each page). Here is a direct link. The page lists our entire season, and the results. I took this from the Glory home page (though I did have to correct t... [More]

Jarrod mentioned this on the Glory message board. His interview with her aired before last Sunday's game, but it is not yet available in the archives, so I have been unable to listen to it. From what I can gather from the 3-Day site, she lost her Mom to the disease. She is participating ... [More]

Last year, the Force just missed the playoffs. They tied for 4th with Rockford at 24-20, missing a trip to Kimberly by only a tie-breaker. It would appear that history will not be repeating itself, as they are already at 20 wins, against 12 losses coming in to this series. But we may have som... [More]

Last year, we split in Rockford, then swept them at home. This year, we split in Rockford again. Will we complete the pattern by sweeping at home? Rockford does not seem as strong as they were last year. About this point in 2007, they were right with us near the top of the standings, though... [More]
