Finally Back

I feel like I have neglected my blog and my readers. I hate that feeling. I have been extremely busy this past week. I left TCU last Friday and since then I have unpacking, organizing, and job searching. I am happy to say that all three of those were successfully completed.

Now, onto baseball. Unfortunately, the guy who usually does the write ups on the Hawks' games has been inactive since mid-April so I don't have any full game writes for you. I do have the box score from Kameron's last start, though: 5/4 Start

I can tell from the box score things didn't go too well but, if we all keep thinking positive, I know great things will come from Kameron and the whole Softbank Team.

A neat thing I found while I was surfing the Softbank site was that they list all of the songs they use during a game. From a certain players walk-on song to the victory tune that is played after a win, it's all listed on the site. I know a lot of people (including me) that have heard songs at ball games and can never find the song title or artist. That's just one of my random findings on the Hawks' website.

Once again, if you're on Twitter, my ID is rain_holly. If you follow me, send me an @reply so I know you read my blog. Also, for the Facebookers out there, there is a Softbank Hawks fan page. Just put "Softbank Hawks" in the search bar and it should come up. Join the group and show your love for the Hawks!

Have a good night - or day if you're in Japan :)

P.S. I will be updating more frequently now that it's summer! Woo - no more being nocturnal to study for finals!

I Have Failed...

I completely forgot that today (Monday) was kameron's next start. Usually, the team has off on Mondays so I was expecting him to start tomorrow.

As usual, the Hawks are the visitors when Kameron starts. Next week though, he should get his first at the Yahoo! Dome. That should be really exciting!!

I might actually try to stay up and watch his start tonight because I don't have a class or a final tomorrow to wake up for! I also have an Economics paper I really, really need to finish, lots of studying to do and I just promised my roommate I would pull and all-nighter with her (oh the joys of college, right?). If I do stay up, I will take screen shots or something for those of you who can't stay up.

Speaking of finals, this week is finals week at TCU, which not only means lots of studying, but it also means that it will be my last week in DFW until August. I'm so sad. My Dad already came on Saturday to take most of my stuff back to Austin. My side of the room is bare as it is missing all of my baseball decor.

Next Start:
Hawks (V) v.s. Buffaloes (H)
Time: 6:00 p.m. Japan time, 4:00 a.m. CST
Look for the Orix Buffaloes feed on TvAnts

I don't know why I didn't say this earlier, but I have a twitter. I love twitter and I have the most random tweets. If you want to see my goofy side, following my twitter would be a good place to start. www.twitter.com/rain_holly check it out! Oh, and if you have a twitter, feel free to follow me and I will follow you!

Woo! Go Kameron!

Start

Just a quick reminder that you can watch Kameron's fourth start for the Hawks live early tomorrow morning - 4:00AM CST. The Hawks (9-11-1) will be facing the Lions (9-11-1).

All Sorts of Confusing

So, in my last post, I said Kameron's last was at home. I'm pretty sure I was wrong. For some reason, I saw Tokyo Dome and instantly thought Yahoo! Dome. Woops. So actually, Kameron didn't start at home last time either. That means his first three starts have all come on visiting turf. Not cool. Even his next start looks to be scheduled for away. In fact, if the rotation and everything stays the same, he won't get to pitch for the home town crowd until May 12th. Of course, he pitches on Tuesdays too, which means if you want to watch him pitch, you have to get up early on a weekday. Very frustrating...

In other news, if you are interest in reading actual write ups about the Hawks' games, you can go here. To make it easy, the following are the links to the games Kameron has pitched in:

1st Start - Hawks v.s. Eagles Box Score
3rd Start - Hawks v.s. Fighters Box Score

The guy didn't do a write up for the second game so you can go here for the box score from the second game (I can't remember if I have already put the link up for it or not).

Next Start Alert:

• Japan Date and Time: Tuesday, April 28th at 6:00pm @ The Seibu Dome (Seibu Lions)
• U.S. Date and Time: Monday, April 27th at 4:00am CST on TVants (Look for Saitama Seibu Lions feed)

I can't believe it but, two weeks from tomorrow will be my last day at TCU until the Fall. Everyone said college would go by fast - I believe them now. For my summer I will be at home in Austin, watching lots of baseball and, my personal favorite, sleeping until noon.

Game Day

Once again, Kameron will be pitching tomorrow morning at 4:00am CST. For the first time this season, Kameron will be starting at home, in the Yahoo! Dome. They will be playing the Nippon Ham Fighters. Have fun if you're staying up! Good Luck to Kameron!

New E-Mail

I give up. I give up trying to figure out how to work G-Mail. It is impossible. I have created a Yahoo! account where I can use their Classic Mail service. Basically, the first part of the address is the same. The only difference is the end: instead of "gmail.com" it is "yahoo.com".

keepinupwithkam@yahoo.com

Tomorrow I will have a write up of Kameron's outing from earlier Today.

That is all.

Game Day/Morning

If you have nothing to do tomorrow and can stay up late or wake up early, Kameron will be pitching tomorrow morning at 4:00am CST. The Hawks will be the visitors once again so, your best bet to find the game on TvAnts will be to search for "NPB", and to locate the home feed of the Seibu Lions.

This will be Kameron's second start for the Hawks. Currently, he is 0-1 with a 5.68 ERA.
