Short Night for the Rangers

Indeed it was a short night for the Rangers. The beautiful sun-filled day turned dark and ominous as the evening progressed. The Rangers were poised and ready to take their third win of the season, but fickle Mother Nature would have none of it.

The Rangers took the field to start the game.

Fowler took the mound and prepared to face the Cardinals.

As the umpires took the field and shouted, "Play Ball!", the announcement came over the ball park that all games had been cancelled. I thought it was a bad call at first, but the rain clouds opened and a marvelous thunder and lightning storm ensued that that would not have been safe to play in.

I guess that is what happens sometimes when playing baseball in the Spring in the Great State of Oklahoma. Beautiful days go south in a hurry, but they also turn back beautiful very quickly. You know what they say, "If you don't like the weather around here, hang around a minute -- it'll change."

Don't forget practice on Tuesday and Thursday at 6:15 at the field. The place may change on Thursday so watch your emails. We also have a tournament this weekend at Hafer Park. I will send out the brackets as soon as I get them.
