    Might try a pop along one of the evenings. I'm only about 20 minutes away after work.

    Who are the 'President's 9' by the way?

    The 'P9' are a Selection of players mostly from the Irish A League, normally selected by the Baseball Ireland President.

    Just back from watching the Netherlands v Ireland. Very enjoyable.

    To be honest I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised with the standard, especially the pitching speed. And although I think he made a couple of errors later on, the Irish shortstop made a couple of great plays and there was some arm on the Dutch centerfielder who threw out 2 guys at the plate (at least I think it was the same guy both times but either way they were great throws).

    I do think there was a bit of home team umpiring going on though. I thought a couple of decisions in the 9th and 11th when the Irish were down by a run were a bit dodgy!

    Impressed with the facilities out there too. I'd love to catch another game in this tournament but unfortunately I won't be able to make it out again.
