THE OCCASIONAL ORBITER


    Hi and hello, after a long hiatus, it's once again time for your 
occasional reminder.

    The Space Cowboys will be taking the court this coming Tuesday, July 24, 
at 9 P.M. at Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  In what is bound to be a 
"titanic struggle" the 'boys will take on the Sports of All Sorts "thugg e. 
thuggs".  No information is available on the "thuggs" but we're sure they 
are a very "solid" basketball team.
    The home team will be searching for rare "back to back" wins after 
defeating the "whiney thuggs" last week.  They will defintly be looking for 
a better shooting performance from "good" guard Ted Arlinghaus.  Also, don't 
be surprised to see "big man" Ben Keene battling in the paint, as he is 
expected to make his triumphant return to the lineup this week after being 
MIA in the victory.
    Don't miss out this week when special guest Luis Quinones will be 
holding an autograoh session before the game.  Mr. Quinones will arrive at 
the "arena" at approxamately 8:27, and begin sigining autographs immediatly. 
  The only stipulation is that your name must not be Jonathon Rasp.  Luis 
has already agreed to these terms and claims te only thing he wil sign for 
Mr. Rasp is a restraining order.  he also asked us to pass on this message: 
"Stay away from me you stalking son of a bitch.  I had one hit in the 1990 
World Series "wire to wire" run, that is no reason for you to keep watching 
me from afar."  So don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity to 
meet the one and only Luis Quinones.  That's this Tuesday at 9 P.M. at 
Sports of All Sorts in Florence.  Doors will open at 8:23 with pregame 
festivites beginning approxamately 8:49.

                        **** News and Notes ****

    Don't expect to see longtime fane and "emergency replacement" Keith 
Lubbers at Tuesday nights game.  Some might call for his loyalty to be 
questioned, but we wil have none of that.  Mr. Lubbers will be headed to 
Cleveland to welcome home his girlfriend of three years from her year long 
volunteer work in England.  This is one time when even us here at the 
Occasional Orbiter have to agree Keith is making the correct decision in 
skipping this weeks game....Still speaking of loyalty: The big question this 
week is whether Ben Young will make his first appeparance of the "young" 
season.

                **** Space Cowboys Softball Update ****

    The Space Cowboys Softball Team failed once again in their seventh (7th) 
chance to notch the first victory in franchise history.  The 'boys went down 
fourteen (14) to one (1), keeping the number of game to have gone the full 
seven (7) innings at two (2).
     The home team will have twice as many opportunities to get taht first 
win next week when they play a double header.  They will be making up one of 
their "rain outs" at Meinken field, this Friday, July 27th at 6:15 and 7:15. 
  So don't miss out on what could be a historic day at the big ball park in 
the hood.
