<title>Softball Tournament in July 5th and 6th</title>
<link>http://wuxilife.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=229</link>
<description>The guys from the Wuxi Baseball Stadium will host a softball tournament on July 5th and 6th. It will feature 3 teams from Shanghai, 1 from Suzhou and 4 teams from Wuxi.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The team assembled via Wuxilife still has a core of players, but a few people are gone for summer vacation so we need more. The weekend will feature atleast 4 games - 3 on saturday and 1 plus maybe more on sunday. Price per player will be 200 RMB. We will start out playing Saturday morning with 2 games and we then have a game in the evening also (with all the lights on)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The rules will be slow pitch sofball rules - no sliding or stealing. So it is a hit and field game.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You do not have to be a retired major leaguer, but we like it best if you have played the game before and if you know how to drink beer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact me (Niels) or Andy on 13861864912 to sign up.&lt;br&gt;</description>

<description>I am in delighted, happy, horny, high and feel like I drunk a big glass of that nice long island tea. It is well underway and Holland is the surprise package having beat Italy and France.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3rd and final round of the group stages started last night and Turkey beat out the Czechs. All games now are at 2.45 in the morning, so that requires ultimate dedication.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Gigi's Bar and Blue Bar Cafe is showing the games, so head down to one of those two for some football fever. Tonight the German might get kicked out? or not.. we will see.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;204&quot; height=&quot;251&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://www.stadiondienst.ch/images/maskottchen_euro2008.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
