News and Announcements
Just a few of Coach's observation and highlights at this year's WS:
* Stiggy should get heart pains more often: hitting .607, 2 HR, WOW!
* Shannon can do all the chattering he wants after 3 Complete Game Wins - 2 in ONE DAY !!
* Mickey's BACK! Even talking about new pants for '04
* 2000 MVP Frank Arnold can still "represent" (.615 OBA, 9 RBI)
* Dougy hits the quietest .410 you'll never hear about (and only 1 error in a full 81 innings at 3rd base)
* My brother "Scrote" is crazier than I thought - flying down twice at 3 AM to be there if the Cobalts needed (atta boy JD)
* Thank you Lord for prayers answered for our boy Spriggsy
* It's just too damn weird taking the field without Capt. Bo (much better timing needed on the conception next time #10)
* We need more "10 RBI Guys" like Hatfield and Hiler
* Willy is still funny just before his body shuts down
* "Situational Hitter" Burgy can be on my roster anytime
* I've got to get more sleep on these trips if I'm going to still be around doing this for Timmy Lit'l Balt's boy in 18 years
* Thanks to Mrs. Coach who allows all this nonsense to continue - 15 crazy years of Cobalting !!! ![image](https://photos-images.active.com/file/1/75/750358/original/128eca32-055b-4f83-ab99-1f159eee9d0d.jpg)
