| As most of you know by now, I have made the decision to play with the Shakopee Indians this next year.
Although playing with Midway has been a rewarding experience it would just be too hard to make the 3 hour drive from Chaska to come up there and play part-time.
This has been by far the most difficult decision I have ever made but I think it is the right one for now.
I will always be a Bird and will definitely be at a few ballgames this summer to heckle you guys from the other side of the fence.
Keep fighting to make a run in the state tournament, I will be there to watch!

| As some of you know, I am hanging it up as well. I feel its the right time. Its been a good 15 years of ball with a lot of good memories. I know I'll be at a few games to possibly heckle from the other side of the fence as well. Good luck with the 2010 ball season boys, 5 minutes!!

| With all of this retiring going on, I feel its probably best that "Ol' Twisted Gut" makes a run at comeback player of the year

| Who's going to get the majority of innings behind the plate with Boss out of the mix? Rumor has it Lundy is looking for a house in Menahga for the summer and may be in touch...:)
So were you boys rooting for USA or the Fins yesterday?

| According to the ballplayers I talked to this past weekend there are at least 3 guys hitting 10 homers this season. Lofty goals considering the most has been 4 since the wood bat era.
And of course Shroom is once again proclaiming to lead the state in E.R.A.
I also think you should get an early exhibition scheduled so I can come play at Midway one more time.

| - just looked through the schedule an highlighted some dates i think we should fill:
may: saturday 1st saturday 8th saturday 15th (possibly travel somewhere and play against two teams for this date) thursday 27th (get a night game in menahga)
june: saturday 12th saturday 19th (travel one of those saturdays)
- we have added detroit lakes july 17th and ny mills july 3rd as part of an event where they are having 4 games from babe ruth, legion and amateur games
- there is no getting around that if we are going to play some additional games we are going to have to hit the road and i do not think that is the worst thing in the world either

| Ah, there's nothing better than listening to a bunch of Snurdbirds on Urho weekend! I invited Vergas to come one of those days, waiting for a response. I'm also working on Dent. I am hoping we can get Dent & Vergas to come in one day so we can play 2 games. If anybody has any suggestions of teams tell them to contact me (mike_baso@hotmail.com), or give me their email address.

| The first game, 4/25, is now moved to Midway (unless we get a big snow storm or a lot of rain before then) because Sebeka's field is being worked on this Spring. Still waiting on potential games for Saturday 4/24, Saturday 5/1, and Saturday 6/19. Other than that, the schedule is almost complete.

| I like it. At least one last game in Midway. What would anyone thing about getting games for 4/17 or 4/18? Preferably home but maybe hit the road for a weekend (cities area, hint hint)?
Our first game is 5/2 so I obviously want to play as much with Midway until we start in Shakopee.

| Good question about the jersey. We need to get as many of those back as possible. If people paid for them we will reimburse them.

| I know Peyton has it and when I asked him last year he said he wanted to keep it. Maybe that has changed but you may have to order another one.
I believe Ben is done so #12 could be a number to get back. I"m sure Eino wants to keep his, I do unless you absolutely positively need it.

| - to those that have paid for their uniforms but are not playing any longer we would like to be able to use them for this season only, we would not be keeping them and after this season is over we would return them to to whoever donated them
- i could take care of any unifroms donated if that would help so there would be no worries about losing items or wear and care issues
- like mike said we could reimburse and then after the season is over return the uniforms and for any money in return
- i know the value is more than what was paid for because they are nice jerseys and are good keep sakes so we are only making this request out of necessity for this season only, next season will probably see us order different uniforms

| - a big thank you to floyd (mike, 1e, hey you, that guy etc.) with an assist from cub for going in front of the school board last night and laying out what we would like to do for the region tourney in menahga...
- the board voted 5-1 to give a us a tenative go ahead, there are still a few things we need to guarantee before its a done deal
- if it gets approved we will be asked to do quite a bit to have a successful tourney, not to mention playing, but its something i think we can handle
