Practice #21--Nope

See, this is what happens when you go against the blog. With four straight off days between tournament games, the Mudcats tried to hold practice on Thursday night. They should have known better. After all, the blog had already declared last week's practice to be the final practice of the season.

Lesson: don't mess with the blog.

At almost exactly the time Coach Andrew was within shouting distance of Method Road, the clouds dumped buckets of water on the field. Practice could have still been held, but the Mudcats would have had to wear water wings when running the bases. So the team decided to be flexible and reschedule practice for the cages at West Raleigh. And by "be flexible and reschedule practice" I mean, "Ask General Manager Jenn to send out a flurry of emails and reorganize everything."

So everyone rerouted and headed for West Raleigh. At approximately the moment Coach Andrew pulled into the parking lot, the clouds dumped buckets of water on the field. All games at West Raleigh were canceled, and the only game the Mudcats were able to play was a very muddy session of football.

Assuming weather allows (the blog decrees that Friday will be beautiful), the Mudcats will finally hit the field on Friday at 5:30 (pregame at 4:30).
