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!
