CSI at TVCC - 10/28/06

CSI won both games this weekend, even though they did not officially keep score. The TVCC team did not play in their usual Blue/Orange teams, but instead wore a unifying "grey". Landon caught both games because the other catcher wasn't feeling well. He threw runners out at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and tagged one at home. He also went 2 for 4, however he was not pleased with the "passed" balls, and felt he could have done better.

Red Birds Win !

Roger and Landon are smilin'
Way to go Cards !

Good Lookin' Kid - Gotta LOVE him !

Are you ready for some baseball?

5 games , best of 5 wins
Orange team = St. Louis Cardinals
Blue team = Detroit Tigers (Roger is hating this !)
No coaches - each team chooses a captain, pitcher rotation, starting positions, etc. When the final out in the final game is called - the losing team MUST WEAR WHAT THEY HAVE ON AT THAT MOMENT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK! Everybody root for the BLUE so Landon doesn't have to wear his catching gear for a week :)

Thanks for all the support !

Thanks to ALL of you who traveled to see the game !!
The Chukars lost to CSI, but Landon had a good game, going 3 for 4 and throwing a runner out at 2nd. His last game of the fall schedule is next Saturday at Ontario.

CSI Update

Landon is feeling much better - The blue team will play at approx. 3 pm (Second game of double header) Hope to see you all there. He called last night and wanted to make sure I tell everyone that he might not be able to talk to any of us (they are really strict), but I was to let everyone know how appreciative he was that you would take the time to come and see him play !!

Especially those of you who are missing games of YOUR OWN, and PARTIES !! You are the best !!

Sick Sick Sick

Landon went to a walk-in clinic yesterday at 5pm, with a high temp, horrible sore throat and swollen glands. They did a test for strep and mono, which were negative. He was given a prescription, and was told he should feel much better in 24 hours. Haven't talked with him yet this morning - will keep you posted.

Surprise Surprise

Hey Dad, I just saw a sign that said - 120 miles to Ogden!

Guess who came home for the weekend :)?

P.S. He's packing on the poundage - can anyone say.....185 !?! Hard to believe that 2 years ago, he was wrestling fifty *5* *0* pounds lighter - no way !!

Practice and MORE Practice

In preparation for the games against CSI on the 21st and 28th, the Chukars have been stepping up their usual practices. Yesterday, Landon said they broke into units of (4), and were asked to lay down different kinds of hits, i.e., hit and run, sac bunt, squeeze bunt, etc. If ANY of the four missed the hit, then ALL were penalized by either running "the poles" or pushups. Landon said he did 200+ pushups ! - what a night !

Tonight, the blue and orange teams scrimmaged for 9 innings - Final score 0 to 0. Coach Baumann called the game, with no umps, and had the players running the bases in various ways. Landon had two strike em' out, throw em' out at 2nd, and one "block" up the line, when a runner from third plowed him over, trying to vault OVER him. Landon held on to the ball !!

Havin' a ball in Ontario

TVCC blue team won both of their games again Team Montana, and Team Idaho, 23-2 and 11-0. Landon went 4 for 8 with 7 ribbies, including a THREE RUN HOME RUN !!

Finally - New Dorms !

Landon LOVES the new dorm !
