Rain... AGAIN!

Un-Freekin-Buhleeeevable.  Week 3 of the season, and the third rainout in a row.  Shades of the 2011 season are beginning to come to mind.

With only Griffin having officially started the season so far, things haven't gotten too far behind.  Griffin's Bombers have been able to make up both rain-outs so far, and are currently sitting at .500 (1-1).

The Cincy Heat 'A' team (Duncan & Paxton) is slated to begin its season next week.  And the precise start date for the Cincy Heat 'AA' team (Cameron & Holden) has not yet been determined.

After a couple months of practice for all the boys, we're kind of feeling like a plane all fueled-up and waiting for clearance to take off.  But it'll come.

Bombers Win!

Congratulations to Griffin and the D.A.A. Bombers!  The boys travelled to Harrison, OH yesterday evening to take on the Bearcats.  It was chilly.  It was windy (see picture... that's a view from the outfield, and if you look close enough you can see the infield, obscured by the big dust cloud).  But it was a win!

Griffin got a hit, made it to base three other times as well, and scored 3 runs.  The Bombers pulled even on the season (1-1) with a final score of 12-8.  After two consecutive road games to start the season, we'll open the HOME portion of this year's schedule next.  Looking forward to it!  Congratulations, Griffin.

Play Ball!!!

Griffin got the season underway this evening. The season was supposed to start this past Saturday, but it got rained out. So, better late than never, this evening marked the official opening of 'FiveKelleyBoys 2012 Baseball Season'

The Bombers travelled to Sunman, IN to take on the Outlaws. And true to everything we've EVER seen from Sunamn ball teams... these boys could play. Very well. Although, lots of credit goes to Griffin's Bombers... they hung in for a final score of 5-2. As a side note, this is the first time ever (over 3 years and 3 previous attempts) any KelleyBoy has made the 60+ minute trek to actually make it through an entire game. Dubious, perhaps. But an accomplishment none the less.

Congratulations, Griffin. Thanks for getting things underway. Looking forward to the season with all the KelleyBoys.

Knockin' Off the Rust - VIDEO

Here's a short video of some of the boys' practices this Spring.

Update. And A Blast From The Past.

This is the part of the season that seems to be quite busy while nothing is 'really happening'. All the boys are practicing regularly throughout the week. And it's kind of like the military... a bunch of 'hurry up and wait'.

As great as it is to get back out on the fields and see all the boys in action, everyone is already primed for the official start of this season. Games are scheduled to get underway April 14. Until then, the boys will continue practicing.

For now, to help everyone get through... click here to see a video from last season's spring training.
