Congrats
Congrats to the Rainbow Wahine softball team for winning the WAC regular-season title. Well deserved.
And also a “nice job” goes to our blog readers, namely Mei Ling, for organizing the “donation” stand at the game; all contributions go to the softball program. Mei Ling has been a dedicated volunteer for Na Koa the past year, and even though she had been away from the islands for a few decades, she has embraced UH athletics since her return.
As always, I had nothing to do with any of the good deeds the readers do. You guys are special people, and deserve credit for your kindness.

It was great to hear — shhh, I’m still in the Bay Area — that running back Chizzy Dimude had a big night in the Warrior Bowl.
It is known that Dimude is quick, a nice complement to No. 1 running back Alex Green. UH had tried to work him in as a slotback last year to get him more touches. But Dimude also is tough He played all of last season with a labrum tear in his left shoulder, an injury that required post-season surgery. He also has dealt with a groin injury this spring.

Rocky Savaiigaea practiced at nose tackle during yesterday first day of the San Francisco 49ers’ mini-camp in Santa Clara. Savaiigaea was a nose tackle under Jerry Glanville in 2005 and 2006, but has played defensive tackle ever since.
Aaron Kia is practicing at right guard for the 49ers. Kia and Savaiigaea did not have to go up against each other during yesterday’s drills.
Savaiigaea said Isa‘ako “Isaac” Sopoaga is the starting left end, and that recently signed Travis LaBoy has been working as a third-team defensive lineman. But Savaiigaea said LaBoy had a great practice yesterday.

Happy birthday to JM2375.

Tomorrow is the last day of The Honolulu Advertiser under Gannett, but several who have decided not to work for the transition company said their goodbyes yesterday. Too many to mention (let alone photograph), but great thanks to all. It really has been a privilege to have worked with so many great people.
first and foremost
so where’s everybody. Too much activities in the quarry tonight, everyone tired out. The adrenaline is still flowing in our Kazz, he can’t sleep, one of the few that’s up.
third team, not a place to be, I hope Travis moves up quickly, because they eventually cut their final roster to 56 total players.
ralphie…we were all at a celebration party after the game. where were you?
Ever go to sleep, think you’ve been asleep forever, and wake up an hour later? That’s me.
Congrats to the Wahine / SoftBows! Awesome performance. I like that they gave Michelle Moses her first defeat. Yes, I know they have 2 other formidable pitchers, but that first game had to have dampened their enthusiasm & gave them a lot of food for thought.
wow top ten…First for me. Great wahine win and keep it up…
Am up at this hour because my three year old grand son who was sleep over to night got a bad ear ache and got the whole house up…I sure forgot these kind of days and really did not know what to do…
top 10!
cheepono out.
aloha.
Top 10?
Hooray,
Happy May Day everyone! The ones who are awake at this 2am hour., and later to the ones who wake up during the regular morning hours. Good job, Mei Ling.
Hello to wafan – you are not up? Love to all the Tsaikos.
Momo, you nudge wifey out of bed, tell her her grandson is calling for her.
Al you must be dreaming, I know you never showed up! 🙁

Leila writes a nice article today in covering the Warrior Bowl. She’s a pleasant reprieve from the regular writer that covers UH football.
~~•~~ ★ ★ ★ Go WAHINE!!! & Go WARRIORS!!! ★ ★ ★ ~~•~~
Warrior Bowl was interesting, met a lovely sportswriter walking the field, she said she was covering for the ‘other guy’ in SF….hmmmmmm, was great hearing the cheers coming from the softball stadium. mahalo for the updates on the blog, that’s how we knew what was going on 🙂
Merry Lei Day!
Very appropriate Lei Day and Wahine Senior Night.
Drape the place with lei!
Congratulations once again to the WAC Champions SoftBows!!!
Bravissimo Wahine!!!
Will the athletic department fund bracelets for the wahine or will some other funding source need to be “found”?
GOOD MORNING TSAIKOS!!!!!
Congratulations to the Wahine Softball WAC CHAMPIONS!!!!!
Re: Bracelets.
I’m not sure how the breakdown goes for each sport. For instance, the football team got rings for the 1992 Holiday Bowl, 2007 Sugar Bowl season and 2008 Hawaii Bowl But I think the 2007 and 2008 rings were part of the bowl-prize gifts they would have received, anyway.
The Wahine volleyball team, meanwhile, will get a ring for a national championship, not a WAC title.
I suspect the Rainbow Wahine softball team will receive rings if it reaches the College World Series.
jm2 – 4 – 6 – 8! Who really needs to celebrate?
You! You!
Happy Birthday!!!
i apologize……..
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WAHINE SOFTBALL TEAM!!!
the Rodney Dangerfields of collegiate softball 🙁
Great Morning All!
Congratulations WAC Champion SoftBows!
Again, great job Tsaikos!
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
I enjoy baseball because it is a slow game and it fits my style. But the Wahine Softball game was so fast. Albeit, 7 innings and it goes like a flash. Was able to catch some of the Warrior scrimmage sitting on the top deck then walk over with the rest of the blog dogs to the field. It was neat to see the interest of UH events happening at the same time. Hopefully, the administration will see how much UH means to the people and plan events that capitalize on creating that fan friendly feeling throughout the year.
Blog dogs, Koakane suggested we crank up donations after every Wahine home run. We need some of you to help feed the till so that the rest of the crowd gets into it!
Bulla,
And she turned out a really good article about the Warrior Bowl!
d1
she did a great job, just her professional self 🙂 you wouldn’t believe who we were sitting next to at the Warrior Bowl………Leilehua HC, coach Tokuda…..memories……..light the corner of my mind………haha, all good. Lua and Ana were right there also.
we gots a looooooooong way to go before we walk under the lights at Aloha as UH Warriors………….obviously painful, but it’s a process.
a birdie told me that the O line was not ‘as ready’ as the D line, so LB’s were told not to blitz, and the D was told to just run a Base, with no blitzes from anyone……hmmmmmm
GO WAHINE………………..CONGRATS ON BEING DA WAC CHAMPS, NOW GO OUT AND WHACK’EM 🙂
Slugger/Annodah Dave,
That’s why I brought up the “Dollars for Doinks” idea. Actually got the idea from a guy I used to work with who played pro ball back in the day. In some minor league parks the custom was whenever you jacked one out, fans would walk down to the backstop and stick money in the fence and you’d come around and scoop up your reward after crossing the plate. He said it would often total to pretty good bonus for them.
Not necessarily just $1.00 bills but I’m sure there were denominations of all kinds….maybe call it “Bucks for Bashes”.
But anyway, it would certainly fit the “bill” for capitalizing on fan excitement/appreciation whenever someone goes yard!
Bulla,
AzOK…I’m sure nobody going run blitz packages against us anyway! 😈
Speaking of HS coaches…you heard, eh?
Interesting posters late last night. 🙄
ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs,
Sorry, forgot mention that it was d1 who also had the idea of “dollars for doinks” in the previous post. Koakane mentioned the idea of home run bucks after the game.
I guess we will need some signs with “$s 4 Doinks”, “Banger Bucks”, “Wham, Bam, Grand $lam”, etc.
Annoddah Dave,
Would need to get the players to “buy in” by running by the fence and picking up the $ (then probably dropping it all in a bucket in plain sight of all) to get all the fans “into” the idea.
d1
yep, got the 411 on that one……..interesting, how would you feel if you were 4th on the list, haha, oh well.
4th?!?! 😆
#28 wafan
Sorry to say that I have been told that they have no $$$$ for any kind of award for winning the WAC. So I guess we do it again, will be putting something together shortly an will post it here an also by email.
What I noticed last night was that before and during the game they (the girls) seem very relaxed and had their game face on, but when the last out came you could see in their faces a big sense of relief an when they announced that they had won the WAC they acted just like a bunch of girls, it was great to see the joy on their faces.
[…] The Warrior Beat| UH football, University of Hawaii athletics … […]
Bravo to another Wahine team. Tennis is in the WAC semi-finals in, of all places, Fresno.
Whoo-hoo!!!
Passing—Shane Austin, 4-7-2-39; Brent Rausch, 11-17-0-92; David Graves, 4-7-0-46; Cayman Shutter, 8-12-1-61; Corey Neilsen, 4-7-0-36.
??? That is a lot of passes. I take it Austin didn’t have a great night.
Pomai . . .
Thanks for the heads up.
I second that Pomai!
All season long we’ve seen them on a pretty even level even when celebrating home runs. In retrospect this team has had a very “business-like” aura about them since February.
But!
It was nice to see them really celebrate something last night.
But!!!
Afterwards… They looked the same as they always did after every game.
Its scary how mentally stable this team appears to be.
Too Good MEI LING!
Great Job Princess!
Congrats to our Wahine softball team!
Chee Huu, congrats to the Softball Girlies for whoopin that Fresno Puppy arse last night and for the rest of the series. Wish I could’ve been at the Warrior Bowl, but I heard good and bad things about it. Oh well hopefully the Coaches will go back to the film and correct the mistakes in the summer, then get ready for pound the Pasadena Pretty Boys! Glad to see Alex Green and Chizzy Dimude getting some shine on, hopefully they can be beasts in the backfield. I think most of our success will depend on the Lineman this year on both sides of the ball, so I hope the boys continue to work hard and take care each other to become a dominating force this year!!!
Happy Birthday JM2375!!! Have a great day Aunty!
PB
you’re absolutely on the money, and we’ve got some work to do….starting today…….a good question would be…..how many Warriors are training today, or did they take the day ‘off’ because they played a controlled scrimmage last night?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, all about choices…………….
Kazz I think the home run by Katie was celebrated with a little more enthusiasm then the others, I guess because she is playing in her last series at home.
Pomai,
Grimes looked a little more animated than she usually does, but hey… Here’s to hoping that wasn’t her last homer at home… Still get two games today yeah? 😎
Having flashbacks to the 2006 season. The best running/passing balance yet.
Media will take notice once the warriors recapture this very important tactic for winning consistently.
That homer by Grimes was kind of crazy too. It had some hang time on it and even the left and center fielders looked like they had chance on it, but you could see hope MELT away from their body language and by then Grimes was already rounding 3rd. 😆
Kazz I think the best play for the whole game was #14 Alexandra Aguirre’s catch that robbed the bulldogs of a home run.
Happy Birthday jm2375!!!!! Enjoy your day!!!!
Pomai,
The outfield was awesome. Pu’u-Warren was solid, and yes Aguirre had the PLAY OF THE NIGHT, actually, as SICK as all the homers have been all year long, some defensive “gems” have been highlight worthy.
The backhanded/”fade-away” toss from Yoshikawa to Tauali’i in the SJSU series was AWESOME and most recently Aguirre’s home run stealing out last night was awesome.
kazz and pomai,
they showed that catch on the news…awesome concentration by the left fielder, feel for the fence, gauge yourself, and WHAPAH…..steal that homer 🙂
think it was KHON had the best angle on the homerun shots, because they were shots……..seeeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaaaaaaa….WHAPAH…..once again
good luck to the WAC champs, now go Whack’em 🙂 🙂
We add our congratulations to the 2010 WAC Softball champions — HAWAII.
Homeruns, defensive gems galore!
2 more today and hope it’s a SWEEP!!!!!!!
Be there or be square!!!!
First post on this blog. First off, you Tsaikos are some of the most creative, innovative, action orientated fans. To come up with the idea of a donation box and to put it in action in so short a time is a testament to you all. Second, I’ve been reading this blog a long time, and you guys and gals always crack me up, sooo funny. Always makes my day brighter. Third comment, about Katie’s home run. I was sitting next to her dad (and family), and when she hit that homer, he was so proud and happy. He’s a very, very nice, down to earth person.
LiteTsaik(o):
WELCOME! Introduce yourself in person next time, and hopefully today!!!
AUWE to Hawaii News Now!!! I could have sworn I saw them interviewing Bob Coolen last night after the game, so I go home to watch the news to see what coach had to say and NADA!!! NOTHING!
i suggest LiteTsaiko introduce themselves to KK first…..anything with a Lite nomenclature needs authorization first!!! haha haha 🙂
Re-UH’s teams senior nights
Nowhere in the country do other athletic programs show as much homage to their departing seniors on “Senior Night” as Hawaii does.
I’ve seen departing seniors covered with tons of leis, flowers and mostly smiles.
I’ve seen them run around the bases, take a last shot of the basketball or take a lap around the field. Or take a bow at court side.
The reputable sendoff is so captivating that visiting teams have at times asked permission to watch.
When the introductions are made of the departing seniors you see them accompanied by their parents, relatives, love ones and friends and you note the smiles and tears of joy merging together by all.
It’s a moment to treasure. It’s engraved in pictures and memories. And it finds a place in everyone’s heart.
Some parents and relatives of the departing seniors travel from far away distances in making this pilgrimage that it’s touching to see, also.
In addition to the senior night sendoff, I’m also seeing how the school’s athletic site makes a video sendoff of the seniors, too. Similarly with the school’s newspaper with a composite of each of the seniors.
Also the media, newspapers and blogs send the seniors off in style, too.
Only in Hawaii.
Tonight it’s senior night for five of the members of the UH Wahine softball team. They’ll have the stage. The spotlight. The sendoff. And in the shadows, seemingly, will be the well wishers, including the coaches, administrators, relatives, friends and fans with a deep appreciation towards them for making this journey to Hawaii. And representing themselves, school, team and state very well. Best wishes and Aloha to the five, Katie Grimes, Tasha Pagdilao, Kanani Pu‘u-Warren, Amanda Tauali‘i, and Traci Yoshikawa.
Good morning Tsai-kos!
Happy Saturday! Great win last night by the Wahine and thanks to all who attended the game and donated!
Thanks guys for the birthday wishes. I get to start out my birthday by taking keeed to her doctor’s appt. 😈 Oh, well, supposed to go out to dinner tonight. Gonna brave the tourii in Waikiki.
Good morning everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM2375 !!!
Wie at -14 thru 10, one stroke ahead of Lincicome who just finished the 10th hole.
If Wie holds her lead thru today, this tournament is winnable. In the past, she usually had a bad 2nd or 3rd round, followed by a sizzling finish in the 4th round.
D1 we got to have 8 foot players to retrieve any money left in the fence surrounding the dugout and home plate. The design of the field is the pits, poor sightlines even after they made the correction by adding several feet of dirt to raise the entire field. And I’m sure they were 80% locally designed and the workforce was at least 80% local.
Go SoftBows!
Go TenniBows!
Go PoloBows!
Go TrackBows!
Go SailBows!
Go BaseBows!
Go Warriors!
Go UH!
happy birthday JM, see you at the sb stadium, go Na Wahine
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM!!!!
Slugger check your email.

adding mahalos to the Fresno state parents who donated to the cause last night.
caught some of the scrimmage. at times both o and d looked impressive but they still have a way to go. back to the intangibles such as working out on their own or in groups to improve their skill and techniques while building some muscle strength. you can do it imua warriors
warrior bball team bounce back today if can can if no can still can
dahl disregard
JM the perfect birthday would end with a sweep of the fresnecks!!! Have a good one.
What? The Fresno State people donated? Hmmmm…
A different breed of dog fans for softball than those thugs for FSU football I guess huh?
[…] Tһе Warrior Beat| UH football, University οf Hawaii athletics | honoluluadvertiser.com… […]
Oh GAWD… expect the LARGEST crowd to ever attend a Wahine softball game EVER to be in attendance today.
kazz no forget no can accept credit card
Nah, cash is bettah. The ones I had out last night were MAXED out anyway!!! 😆
BTW, I realized I missed my 10 year HS reunion last Saturday.
Someone I haven’t spoken with in a long time got my # somehow and asked me, “are you going tonight”? To which I replied, “you crazy? IT’S THE MPSF PLAYOFFS AND WE’RE HOSTING!!!”
😆
What, JM2375 get B-day 2-day!!! How come you neva tell us las nite?
and, you goin miss tonite? OK, a most Happy Birfday to U!!!!!!!!!!!
An internet Mahalo, that’s thank you, for non-Hawaii folks, to all Fresno St softball fans who donated last night to the UH Wahine Softball program.
Truly, thank you!
whew,
congrats to all including Michelle Wie, for anyone who has golfed, it is a challenge to say the least.
ralph, you really are Cliff from Cheers reincarnated…..that guy cracked me up just like you, he knew ‘everything’ and was unashamed to share that with everyone….. haha but you know so much….. from golf to softball stadiums….really impressive…..how many years did you coach collegiately? with your wealth of knowledge i am sure those institutions are all too grateful. your analytical abilities to the most minor detail would impress a NASA engineer….but hey, this is sports……
love your comments, makes me grateful to work for a delivery company with 3 letters, not too much i have to remember.
hope to see everyone at the Wahine game…..maybe a little red jacket and some little cymbals for Ralph by the collection point might bring in some BIG bucks………or DPK in a malo…….or Bulla in spandex…….or Ajoe in a thong……..or KK in speedos………ouch, now i wish i were blind………haha
The Wahine will probably face FSU’s Morgan Melloh today at 4pm. Her ERA has sunk a bit but still deadly.
Me thinks Majam will join her senior teammates in some of the glory tonight. 😎
I dunno… Michelle Wie is a pro and gets paid pro kala for being a pro. No need to defend Ms. Wie. You make all that money, get prepared to take in all kinds of comments good or bad.
I still wanna know what she did with that giant purple and white urn though.
The humidity is kicking and and taking effect.
The clouds LOOM overhead. 😯
I was a coach on several little league and basketball teams where parents and grandparents rewarded the player with $$$ for home runs or baskets.
Result in each case was a player who cared only for himself and disregarded any coach’s intructions on team play.
Hate to see the “chemistry” broken with the UH softball team.
Hope “mother nature” blesses the Wahine softball team with good weather so they can pound dem doggies/froggies into the ground and complete their season undefeated!!!
Slugger:
Midori will take the first shift (game) and I will take the 2nd game with the “donation” bucket.
Sam Owens:
Thanks for posting here…REALLY! I did gag a little at the visual! LOL You fit right in with the creativity on the blog…
Go SoftBows!!!
Stuff the donation box and the pups!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM!!!!Ah…to be born on May Day! EVERYBODY in Hawaii celebrate your special day.
We wouldn’t able to do such a thing for the individual Wahine softball players or ANY student athlete anyway due to NCAA regulations.
But I see what you mean.
Ain’t gonna happen with this squad!!!
They say we gotta hold on to what we got, it doesn’t make a difference if we make or not!
We got each other and that’s a lot of love, WE’LL GIVE IT A SHOT!!!!!!!
WOAH!!!!!!!!! WE’RE ALMOST THERE!!! WOAH!!!!!!!!! BULLDOGS BEWARE!!!
WATCH OUR SWING, WE’LL CRUSH IT WE SWEAR!!!
WOAH!!!!!!!!!! BULLDOGS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!
For our departing seniors tonight:
“The Memory Will Never Die”
Written and performed by the band “Default”
I whisper in your ear
The words you want to hear
You feel the wind and it reminds you
It happens everytime
You stop and close your eyes
You can’t deny what lives inside you
Well I know it’s hard to see
What is meant to be
When yesterday is so far behind you
Deep inside your soul knows I’m always there
You made me believe the day you surrender to me
The memory will never die
The love that you gave
I’ll never throw it away
The memory will never die
The tides take a turn
Another lesson learned
I’m right here but still you wonder
Would you say that you need more
And it’s not what it was before
It was before your on your own and going under
Deep inside your soul knows I’m always there
You made me believe the day you surrender to me
The memory will never die
The love that you gave
I’ll never throw it away
The memory will never die
“Live To Win”
by Paul Stanley
Frustrated, degraded, down before you’re done
Rejection, depression, can’t get what you want
You ask me how I make my way
You ask me everywhere and why
You hang on every word I say
But the truth sounds like a lie
LIVE TO WIN!!! ‘TILL YOU DIE!!! ‘TILL THE LIGHT DIES IN YOU EYES!!!
LIVE TO WIN!!! TAKE IT ALL!!! JUST KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL YOU FALL!!!
Obsessive, compulsive, suffocate your mind
Confusion, delusions, kill your dreams in time
You ask me how I took the pain
Crawled up from my lowest low
Step by step and day by day
‘Till there’s one last breath to go
LIVE TO WIN!!! ‘TILL YOU DIE!!! ‘TILL THE LIGHT DIES IN YOU EYES!!!
LIVE TO WIN!!! TAKE IT ALL!!! JUST KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL YOU FALL!!!
Day by day, kickin’ all the way, I’m not cavin’ in!!!
Let another round begin, live to win!!!
Live to win!!
Live to win!!
YEAH!!!
LIVE!!!
YEAH!!!
WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not exactly eloquent, but hey, it’s the guy from “KISS” so what do you expect? 😆
BG
i am honored to be able to jump from the shadows of those that lurk into the bright light of notoriety with the likes of yourself. you have always been to the point, on the point, in making a point but never to the point of being pointless….sort of like why is there a true north only, if that is the true north, what happened to the true south, or the 1/2 truth east/west….. see what i mean?
back to lurking, the boss is coming in the door…..(creeeeeaaakkkk slams shut)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JM2375!
Happy birthday, JM2375!!! Enjoy the dinnah! Thanks for sitting with us the whole game & walking the box around.
Thanks to all who donated last night, Fresno St. fans, too! You know, there’s a LaTech alum who sits up in the third-base corner who also supports the Wahine since she moved here.
Pomai, I checked my email. Reply in your inbox.
Hot & humid today. Yuck! Wish they served shaved ice at the stadium.
I can’t believe I’m headed out to the last home game this season…
It’s gone by too quickly. Time flies when you are busy keeping track of yellow orbs flying out of Manoa I guess.
Awesome season… Nothing more I can say that I or anyone else has already said.
It will be an emotional night, hopefully NONE are bittersweet, and hopefully ALL are wonderful.
Slugger,
Under Armour = best choice of attire for a day like today.
BTW, does this LaTech alum sit all the way at the top of the 3rd base side? Older caucasian woman? I see her alot both this season and last. She sometimes wears a Punahou shirt though. I thought she was with the Punahou softball program or something.
Anybody work at Oceanic? Can you guys please fix your programing menu? Mine shows White Fang is playing at 4:00 today. Could be a dentist movie or a Dracula movie – can’t tell cause no mo program description either.
But I rather be watching the Wahine B-ball playas as they finish their outstanding season and celebrate it with senior nite!!! 7 out of the park?
Everyone remember to take five lei. Show the seniors your gratitude and show the pups what real aloha is all about.
Go Wahine!
Kazz,
Yes, the LaTech alumni-UH fan is all the way at the top.
Correction to ST’s note: I have not been volunteering all year with Na Koa. I offered last year & no one took me up on it till Don Weir became Exec. Dir. of Na Koa. But I’m still volunteering to do anything they need.
Ideas for this donation collection came from all of the Tsaikos who’ve been to the softball games. I just helped get it organized.
I’ll miss going to UH games….till the fall….
JM = happy birthday!!!

exciting sball game…what a way to finish the second game. How about them baseball bows taking two today..What a great comeback in the sfirst and what a way to win the second…See you all when I return from my class reunion (57). We have about 50 of us who still make it to vegas. We golf two days, bowl one day and have tours and night club activites for all…
Stanford wins in a sweep of Northridge
momo…”night club activities” eh?
hmmmmm.
Mayweather wins in a 12 round unanimous decision.
WOW!!!
Great season for the Wahine Softball team! The first game I watched was their 2007 Regionals game against ASU. Now that I’ve been able to watch more of their games through a season, it’s apparent that these women have talent. Congratulations on winning the WAC title!
Good going by the BaseBows tonight! Amazing!
Big hand to the Tsaikos tonight! We covered all of the bases from first ‘n third base to homeplate. We had three donation containers and collected $2400 during the three games. Mahalo nui loa to all of the fans who pitched in.
Mahalo to the UH athletes who came to sit with us at the home plate donation bin! Lewis Walker, Ric Cervantes, Josh Walker & Hiram Thompson.
I feel blessed to have watched this team evolve to what it has become.
Mahalo softballers for giving us all these memories with the hopes of more in the weeks to come.
Wafan,
You’re welcome. Glad it got to you. Hope you enjoy it.
That line drive homer was unreal.
congrats to the Wahine.
Not much else to say other than great win girls, and we won’t let you down.
Your fans
hats off slugger and to all who stepped up to the plate for the softballers.
Now that I’ve had some fuud, I can catch up on the blog…
Mahalos to the Tsaikos who were there to support! BG & Kekoa handled the first base side, Ralph & NorthShoreFan hanging on to the huge jar (thanks, Pomai) in the third base stands, and the A-House clan behind home plate. Annodah Dave provided his big raffle drum again & kept trying to pass homerun bucks to the jar, but there were so many people in the stands between NSF & the korner krew.
Next project: Pomai is organizing the WAC champions bracelet donation, so stay tuned…
jm2375,
Belated Happy Birthday wishes! Were you in Waikiki? Was there for the 1st day of the HSTA Convention. Was strolling around the Yardhouse & G. Pastrami, contemplating dinner. Lousy radio wasn’t working in the parking structure.
congrats to te SoftBows & BaseBows!
protector – went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner… what a madhouse, but we had gift cards from Christmas 2008, so I wanted to use them…
Sam Owens,
#88 ~ That was funny…in a twisted sorta way… I don’t think I want to see that come to life… 🙂
Hats off to Slugger for taking the lead on this drive. Ralph, Pomai, my pahtna Koakane did a mighty fine job of arm wrestling the fans into submission and getting that extra dollah!
BG made some friends in the Fresneck section and I think he might have gottn a whole $2.99 from them and an IOU.
The Warrior Women of Manoa did a great job of coming back when the chips were down and did what they do best. Win by knocking the ball out of the park!
…and with that, I say G’nite all.
protector: I’m curious, what happens during the HSTA convention? I saw on Facebook that lefty was there as well.
nytal! Thanks for the bday wishes. Hasta manana. ST & the TOTs arrive home tomorrow.
great post as usual!
Still watching the replay, but I have to go to sleep soon…don’t want to mess up my recording. The first SB game tonight was loooonggg.
See some of you tomorrow at the BaseBows game. Night!
Ok, Midori7, I saw the ball that Tauali’i caught on top of the fencing…it did hit the fence when Amanda tried to catch it. Correct call… Night!

Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
