There's nothing like an updated site to kick off a new Total Chaos ball season! We have a new/old coach (me) and new players & friends to make things just the way they should be. =) A BIG WELCOME goes out to Tina, Kathy, April, Bobby, Justin, Rodney and Carl. I hope you enjoy our team as much as we do!
A huge thank you goes out to Derek and Robert for coaching the women's team again and to Julz for keeping me straight with the co-ed team.
A little update for all of you on Jessica... She was released from her doctor's care yesterday for her torn ACL and is back to 100% with range of motion. YAY!!! She will probably come back this season as a DH, but she needs to work on getting her leg/knee stronger before she can play in the field.
Vicki is still working on her back and will hopefully be able to play some this season. She will (of course) still be at the games, with Lisa at her side, to support us and help base coach as needed.
Speaking of Lisa... If you didn't get my earlier email, Lisa is running in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure again this year. Last year, both Total Chaos teams were able to raise around $100 to donate in Lisa's name. I am collecting again on Lisa's behalf and will take donations at any game through the end of April. Hopefully all of those challenges that were going around will hold true and we can raise more for her this year. =) All donations have to be turned in by the 1st of May, so don't forget to bring your money to the games.
That's all for now! Please remember that you're all welcome to post on the blog at any time. Just email me so I can list you as an admin.
See ya tonight!

The Launch of our Blog
Since this is the launch of our Blog, I'll go ahead and tell everyone what we'll be posting on here and save the game info for last.
We do a lot of things together besides play ball. We're all really good friends (some are even dating), so we all hang out together, have little outings, weekend trips, girls night, etc. This will be where we'll post pictures of past gatherings, info for upcoming events, game information and everything else that comes up. It's kind of a catch-all for our team. All pictures/posts are welcome from anyone on the team. If you're not sure how to work a blog, just give a shout to Jen or I and we'll help you out. If you have any links you'd like added (for your business site, blog, etc.), let me know and we'll get it put up. Also, if you have a favorite widget or piece of personal info you'd like to share, we'll add it too. This is a TEAM BLOG... it's for everyone, so it should have a piece of everyone on it. =)
Now, on to the game...
First off, NSA/Kville Parks & Rec changed the number of foul balls we're allowed to have. We now only get 3 strikes (regardless of whether their fouls or actual strikes), where we used to get 3 fouls (4 strikes). Basically they took a possible hit away from every batter.
We played AAR and they're always a great team to go up against. They're a lot like us... just enjoying being out there, keeping it fun and joking around. But with the new rule, it was pretty tough on just about everyone and every team. I can't tell you how many of us either fouled out or popped up because we were too anxious to hit what was thrown. I think the first 4 innings were scoreless because we just couldn't hit the ball.
It all finally started coming together and we managed to bring in a few runs and win our first game of the season. I'm waiting on Matt to get back to me with the final score, but I would have to say it was around 6-2. As soon as I get it confirmed, I'll post it here and in Our Schedule over to the right.
I hope everyone enjoys this and is able to take advantage of it. If you see anything that should be changed, or if you think it would look better a different way, let me know.
See you all next Tuesday!
