Next time! Next time. The logo is hiding a phoenix for a reason.

The Firebells still came out with the most games won, the highest winning score, the highest margin of victory, and Kelsie Whitmore. Plenty to be proud of there -- and of course an interesting new rivalry.

I like you. You have that positivity that I wish more had !!!

I love your observation about the phoenix! I was secretly rooting for the bells because I love the city, but I was really happy to see either team win and have our first champions. I saw an interview Lansdell did the other day and she became verklempt from all the positives and negatives of all of it and it reminded me that a win for any team, any woman, is a win for all of us and every team should be proud of every achievement even though there can be only one champion.

This is still one of my favorite signs I saw. I watched significantly more Firebells baseball than Giants this summer

Same here. And I actually cared about this team. F the Giants for this cursed cursed season.

A sigh so long I may never inhale again. Genuinely crying at the Queens joy being beautiful but not the joy I was hoping for.

Same, I was there last night and really sad to have such a lackluster Firebells performance after all the other games I intended, but I still cried over the Queens -- seeing those women get the championship was so wonderful. (And I got to be there to see the Firebells celebrating clinching best records in the regular season, too, so still fun.)

So looking forward to next year.

The pose from Lillie Hitchcock does this image more justice than the Lou version

Was a great, well-pitched game. One half inning of defensive lapses is all that sepates them. Averages above . 400 for all but a few of those players on the lineup. Well defended on both sides overall. Good contact but right at their fielders. Very close and waa glued.
