MONDAY JULY 2ND

We here at Coast2Coast Sports would like to apologize for our absence from the Internet over the last couple of days. Some technical difficulties beyond our control (namely: thunderstorm-induced loss of Internet access) have prevented us from putting our blog up. But don't worry - we said we'd last longer than Roger Clemens, and so we'll keep on going.


- The Israel Baseball League survived its first week, and it looks like Bet Shemesh is already running away with it. The squad leads the 6-team league with a perfect 5-0 record, and the Blue Sox - yep, the Blue Sox - are led by 26-year old first baseman Johnny Lopez, who leads the team with four home runs in five games. Unfortunately, he doesn't appear to have a MySpace page, but some of his fellow league members do, and their pages can be found at this link on the league website.



I'LL MISS YOU, METRODOME
Courtland Olson gets all choked up a couple of years early and he reminisces about the Metrodome, which will close up at the decade's end.
