Baseball Game – Rock Hounds at the Dodgers
Posted by Chris Noland in Andrew Sports, TheNolands on September 26, 2009
Today was a great game against the Rock Hounds. This was the 2nd game of the season. The Dodgers are really starting to pull together some good plays. Nathanial was great as the pitcher and got some good tosses to Nicolas to get a few outs.
The rest of the team is slowly starting to click and get the ball to the right place. It is good to see the team start to work together, there are still the occasional lapses when everyone runs across the field or lays down to pick up a ball.
Andrew had a few good plays and seems to have good form with his swing but I need to spend some more time pitching to him and doing some soft toss drills. He seems to be having fun at the games and enjoying crushing the ball when he can and tearing down the baseline.
Richardson Corporate Challenge 5K
Posted by Chris in TheNolands on September 20, 2009
The Richardson corporate challenge was today and Stacey actually joined the Tek Team. The weather was still a bit warm & humid for me, but still pulled in an OK time of 20:15, it was 26th over all with the winner finishing at an amazing 17:35 (and he is over 40) Stacey really sucked it up and pushed it to a 34:25 time, next year she is targeting under 30 minutes (she does not know yet) .
The rest of the Tektronix team did really well. The men’s side of the team changed a lot as David left the company and Chris Ulrich was traveling, we were fortunate to have Holger push it a bit faster and a few new recruits to the team added some speed.
The women’s side did exceptionally well with Fiona blazing it in for a silver in her age group at 20:47. Since Ulrich bailed on us this year he sent his wife to keep the name alive in the standings and she finished second for the Tektronix women at 27:23. Anamika wanted to show sustaining does more than engineering and pushed it to a great time of 33:44, beating her 2008 time of 35:01.
Part of the group stuck around for a good picture.
Next year we expect to have a larger team (hint, hint to readers) and need to find a way to get some the executives to run as 3.1 miles is a piece of cake.
Run fast, think later.
Tee Ball – Mets at Dodgers
Posted by Chris in Kids, TheNolands on October 2, 2008
Todays game on October 2, 2008 was against the Mets.
The batting look a strange turn when Korben decided to swing his bat both ways and connecting on the swing back. The other kids decided that look a lot of fun and also tried the new swinging style, luckily Coach Marc was able to help out the team and get them hitting in the correct direction
Andrew was is normal fast self and was ripping up the bases
Blade decided to do some dancing on 1st base as he waited for the next hitter. I think he has a future in a yet to be named reality TV series.
Andrew had one of this friends from school on the Mets, as always he is glad to see his friends.
Tee Ball – Dodgers at Rangers
Posted by Chris in Kids, TheNolands on September 29, 2008
Today’s game on September 29, 2008 was against the Rangers. My photographer decided to travel for business so things are a bit lighter than normal as I need to run around the field first and try and take some pictures second.
The team was excited for the nice evening game again and was determined to listen to Coach Marc.
Andrew is starting to listen a little better and the practice at home is starting to help. The consistency of his swing is just improving, also he is throwing a little better, that is an area of focus for our practice I believe.
The kids just cannot stay away from the dirt and just love to the kick up a dust storm. It does not seem to bother the kids, but those of us with contacts it was a challenge to see what was going on.
Well I am back to trying to clean my contacts.

Tee Ball Tigers at Dodgers
Posted by Chris in Kids, TheNolands on September 25, 2008
Today’s game on September 25, 2008 against the Tigers was exciting… well for the coaches trying to get the team to play their positions that is.
I am convinced Andrew is a complete a ham and any time the camera is pointed at him he is striking a pose. He definitely has a future in professional sports.
There were a few really good plays, the best was by Eli with this gab
It was Zach’s 4th birthday soon, and he brought an extra snack and the kids got some yummy cookies. Great to have these and then get Andrew to bed, hmm geez thanks again.
