My comment is a little different.  I think you are not only the best athlete in the olympics but you are also the prettiest.  I dont know why but when you are on your game you become the sexiest woman on earth.  I love the pigtails.  Keep it up and bring home gold.  Maybe the mens baseball team could use some help.  You couldnt hurt them thats for sure.  I am from Houston.  Good Luck Sweetie.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">casey7755</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 17 Aug 2008 00:05:29 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Cat's Corner | August 13, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/081308.html#comment-1540474</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat, i watched you and your team play chinese taipei, you guys were AWESOME!!! i have been watching every game you and your team have played in the olympics, ever since i heard about the 2008 Beijing olympics i couldnt wait to watch you pitch in the olympics=) You and your team are doing GREAT and you have definitely been pitching GREAT in the olympics. i know that you and your team are gunna win the gold in beijing, cuz you and your team are the BEST team in the whole world=)  i also play softball and i am one of my teams softball pitchers, i always work on pitching so i can be as awesome as you cuz you are like my role model and i look up to you=). one day i decided to try your pitching style and it worked perfectly for me so i have been pitching just like you, just not as fast, but hopefully one day i could be as fast and as great as a pitcher like you!=)=)=) i really want to go to one of your softball camps and meet you in person, that would be so AMAZING!!!=), i would also love to watch you pitch at one of your games and meet you, that would also be so AMAZING!!!=) YOU ARE THE BEST SOFTBALL PITCHER IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU=).

I noticed that several umpires, especially the short female home plate umpire,  call extremely wide strikes on the outside corner to left handed batters.  I'm sure you picked up on this.  If you throw lots of curves to lefties on the outside corner they will never touch you.  What do you think?  They don't call outside strikes to righties though.  I was pulling for you to complete the Canada game with no hits, but you caught too much of the fat part of the plate on the pitch that was singled to right.  No big deal.&lt;br&gt;You are representing the US with complete class.  Keep up the good work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike in NYC&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">mikeinnyc</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:52:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Cat's Corner | August 13, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/081308.html#comment-1487895</link><description>&lt;p&gt;wow yall are doing great!!!!! i cant wait until tonite when yall play!!!! best of luck !!!!!go Usa!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">softballgrl813</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2008 21:35:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Cat's Corner | August 13, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/081308.html#comment-1487871</link><description>&lt;p&gt;hey cat!!!!!!&lt;br&gt;u r the best!!!!!! it would be so awsome to meet u!!!! u r the best pticher eveerrrr!!!!!!! u rrockkk cat!!! i hav decided now at age 12(its a little early, but. . .WHO CARES!) lolllll! anywway i want to go to texas and verse team usa and let then see how i pitch just lik u did!!!!! it would be so awsome to be u! it probably feels rlly good that all of hte hard work that u put into it finally payed off and now ur finally there!!! u rock cat and there is no better pticher then u!!!! and that arm thing that u hav that u wear when u pitch... it works rlly well!!!!!! thanks for showing me!!!

Cat, you and the team are doing an awesome job representing the USA in Beijing. My dad and I got the chance to see the team play in Johnson City, TN in April when you destroyed our home team. We stay up everynight to watch the team play and we enjoy every minute of it. The neighbors don't enjoy the cheering as much but we just want you guys to feel the love in Beijing. So good luck and bring home the GOLD!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Tracker091</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:19:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Cat's Corner | August 13, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/081308.html#comment-1486988</link><description>&lt;p&gt;A completely awesome job so far!

The no-hitter was very impressive. I hope you and your teamates stay focused and keep playing great.  Of course as somebody who played baseball and some softball for church leagues and junior college I know that there is always something everybody can improve on.

Do you answer questions we ask because if you do then I have some questions. What presents do you give and get before every game starts when you and the other team is on teh field after they call your names? Is that to show that you are a good sport? Do the 3 stars on your uniform and helmet stand for the 3 gold medals you have already won? What do you do in China when you are not playing softball or eating? Do you get to watch other sports? Do you have to pay money to go see other sports?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SInce they called the guys basketball team teh dream team  they should call your team the cream team since you beat other teams by so much.  I told you my nicknames are the closer and Big D and ice so my friends think your nickname should be the magician because you make your drop ball disappear and because you get batters to swing at pitches that are not in the strike zone and because you can make your pitch move so much like it is magic. You had another good pitching game and I am happy for you and your team to win boyh games. Now you are two games closwer to a gold. I have to go to football practice now so I have to go but I will see your team tonight. Go USA&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">BigD33</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Aug 2008 17:08:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Cat's Corner | August 13, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/081308.html#comment-1480097</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Absolutely unbelievable.
