We arrived in Williamsport at approximately 4:30 pm yesterday.  Not bad, 10 and a half hours. We checked in and then looked outside and guess what, it was pouring!! Went up to look at fields, everything pretty much sealed off right now. But, the ESPN trucks were there. I will write more later.

It is 5:30 am, August 18th. My family is walking around like zoombies. In approximately 30 minutes we will be south bound. Next stop WILLIAMSPORT!!  Thank you folks for all the well wishes yesterday at the Sr League World Series.

Today is Monday, August 17th. I have a ton of stuff to get done, plus do my thing at the SLWS. We leave tomorrow at 6 am. Should be in Williamsport by 6 pm (I hope). I want to thank all the Bangor people for their support. Look for me on the field.

Well, now that I am back from Bristol and caught up with my Postal duties. I have a thought or two I want to put in my blog.  I left last Thursdat night. My main objective for going to Bristol was to watch Troy Lare umpire. What I saw was about the best sportmanship I could imagne. All of District 3 should be proud, the Bangor East boys represented us all well. They got rocked their first two games and what impressed me is the actions of the boys.  You never saw heads hanging or pouting.  Instead, they were admiring how far the last home run was hit or what a great defensive play that was just made.  Gentlemen you should be proud. Paul (Coach Huston) you should be comended, you had a great bunch of boys and you brought the best out of them. Thank You from the District 3 Umpires.

Well phase two has come to a close. Congrats to the boys from Bangor East.  They will be accompanying Troy Lare to Bristol.  The BEAST came out in the boys and they roared back out of the losers bracket. Congrats again!
