KINSMEN– I’m not sure how it is on other teams, but whenever there’s a chance of rain, a risk of rain, a rain warning, a drop of rain and/or two or more drops of rain, our team turns into a bunch of really crappy weathermen. It’s not just rain either, if a single cloud seems out of place on a gameday, you better switch your phone to silent mode cause the SweatChat is about to blow up.
On Friday, August 9th, we were scheduled to play the Lumberjacks in our penultimate 2019 regular season game. At 11:58am, it started to rain in Kanata, I know this because Josh Ramage told us all. 35 minutes later, I, Shaun Keay, had to let everyone know that it was not anymore. And it continued…

Final SweatSox vs Lumberjacks Notes/Thoughts:
- This was our 15th win of the season
- The 15 wins + 1 tie (31 points) is the 2nd most points we’ve ever had in franchise history, behind only the twenty three and one 2005 season. And we’ve still got one game to go.
- Cory Bond recorded career strikeouts #498 and #499 during his 2 innings of relief.
- Good job you boys -RH
- You missed an amazing dive in left field Ross -MB
- Let me guess. Liddy fell over trying to catch a cold? -RH
- Good ol toe pick! You would have loved it Ross lol -T
- Did you catch it? -RH
- Wasn’t catchable unless I Pillar’d it, was just running full out. And wiped out lol -T
- Ya…So I wouldn’t have loved it then. Getting the out is more important. -RH
- Would have had a good laugh. -T
- I don’t need a baseball game to laugh at you. -RH
- True -T
