[NU Sports] Womens' Softball Team

Last night I went with my son to a brand-new (opened on 6/5) "Buffalo  Wild 
Wings Grill & Bar" in Port Chester, NY, a couple of miles from my  home.  The 
place is a veritable "heaven" of TV screens tuned to sporting  events.  Of 
course, when we arrive, there are more than a dozen screens  tuned to the 
broadcast of Yankees-Red Sox, as well as TV's showing Indians-A's,  Cubs-Astros, Poker 
(on ESPN), etc.  But nary a TV is giving the 'Cats vs.  'Cats Softball game, 
so I ask my waitress if they can tune one screen to  it.  To my happy 
surprise, they do so, and we get a giant projection screen  full of Purple and White 
and 'Zona.  To my even greater surprise, I  couldn't take my eyes off the 
screen, even with great Yankee-Bosox action in  competition with it for my 
attention.  When we failed to score with the  bases loaded and nobody out, I knew in 
my heart that our dream season was not  going to end happily.   You just can't 
miss that kind of opportunity  against a great pitcher who was on her game.  
Nonetheless, I want to salute  our gals for a tremendous achievement.  I became 
a big 'Cat softball fan  this past week and will continue to follow them in 
years to come.
 
I plan on going back to the "Wings" restaurant during the next month for  
World Cup action.  It should be awesome and loud, as Port Chester is home  to a 
large and quite vocal Latin and Central American population.   Of  course, if 
the Senate majority has its way, they'll all be arrested, thrown in  jail and 
deported.  And then I'll be watching alone.  Uh oh, there I  go again with 
political stuff.  Sorry.....
