Theres somthing amazing about a girl who can pitch like you do and i respect you for all you have done and i wanna thank you for everything you have done on and off the field. Even not knowing me i still feel like you are awsome and you are the reason i picked up a softball for college ball. I cant wait to see you play in 2016 its gonna kick ass and i hope to see you play again your an amazing person cat kepp playing strong&lt;br&gt;      Megan #22&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">nsaneebay08</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:48:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2820864</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I know this comment is posted late but i need to say this. You all are still medal winners in my heart. I saw you on the tour Bound 4 Bejing. I stayed up till one in the morning to watch you guys play all the teams. I hate the fact that you guys paid a hard price to prove softball is becoming popular in other countries and it won't be back in the 2012 Summer Olympics. Again in my heart you all our medal winners and it's sad to see softball not in the Olympics. The comittee needs to reconsider.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From one pitcher to another, &lt;br&gt;Ssquare16&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ssquare16</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 03 Oct 2008 09:47:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2511467</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, Cat,&lt;br&gt;I just want to say that I am really proud of the woman's softball team for all that you have accomplished I was really impressed, but what impressed me more was your message about life going on and it is true because its just a game though we would all like to win at the same time. I wish you the best of luck with your schooling and coaching. I have been watching you since you started at Texas and I am going to miss seeing you play.  Again I wish you the best.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">shaheyla</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:15:33 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2348766</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey, Cat!  You guys are just awesome!  I was crushed that you lost and totally understand how upsetting it is to all of you.  Any athlete always wants to win.  You are such hard workers and do such a super job.  It's always a pleasure to watch you pitch.  So glad to hear you say you did NOT leave your cleats on the field.  I look forward to seeing you pitching again soon.  I'm sure you make a great coach.  Hang in there!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TaeKwonDoLady</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 14 Sep 2008 15:28:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2334416</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Heyy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I already cant wait for 2016!  It's gonna be so cool.  Rematch, xD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But really, everyone loses.  Nobody could expect everybody to win every game!  I mean (btw im from NY and a big Yankees fan) most likely they wont even make the playoffs, and they have for 14 years!  So just know that even with a silver metal...which is still totally awesome dude xD...you will still be one of the most loved and known players in softball.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all love you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~Morgan (number 88)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">cuteenemo</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 21:42:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2332393</link><description>&lt;p&gt;heyy cat!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;sorry i haven't written to u in a while, i hav been so busy with my softball schedule i haven't had anytime to go on the computer! my pitching has dramtically improved since the last game tht u pitched, i lvoe watching u play so when i see u i take little tid bits of what u do in your motion and put them into mine! and my pitching has gotten alot better since i hav been doing that! u rock cat and u r the best pitcher ever and i want to be just lik u!!! i hav been working so hard to be just lik u when u were younger and to be the number 1 pitcher on my new team! and becuz of u visually helping me and me doing a little more practice and putting a little of my own style into it i hav gotten tht spot as the starting number one pitcher! okay anyway i rlly hope to see u play again soon and im rlly rlly rlly rlly excited to meet u at last!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;u rock cat!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;melissa44 (10)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Melissa44</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:46:41 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2299702</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Here's a little something special for you to read. i'm not sure what the reaction will be.&lt;br&gt;U is for United States the team they play for.&lt;br&gt;S is Sacrifices of their time and so much more.&lt;br&gt;A is for Athleticism.

You and your teammates are still heroes to all who bled red, white and blue. There's never shame in doing your best. And if this is some condolencs, you were named one of the top 50 hottest athletes at the Oltmpics (though I'd have picked you #1). Take care and I'll be following your career from now on.

That is why they play the game even when they know who the best already is.  I think it was sweet of your team to let those Japanese girls have that one, minor joy in their lives.

I feel for you when you lost to Japan in the Medal game.... You left it all out on the field and you gave it your all! Best wishes in the season to come with Rockford! Go Cat! I'm always rooting for you! And I always have to go blab to my friends about a no hitter or a great pitching performance by the best pitcher!!!! Your an amazing woman Cat! Keep pitching! Your still a gold medalist to me and everyone else!

Figured you'd be there since it was in Chicago and i thought you lived there. Atleast I don't think you were there I saw most of the team like 12 or 13 but was kind of disappointed I didn't get to see you. Anywase hope you're doing better, you've done so much for the youth of softball. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">KVTER</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 08 Sep 2008 20:56:01 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Wednesday, August 27, 2008</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/082708.html#comment-2239703</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Cat, I know you can't reply back directly to out questions, but could you reply to this question in your blog?....

Youre still awesome!!!!  Dont think of losing the game as not getting the gold medal; think of it as getting a silver medal!!  Best of luck to you with your coaching and playing in the NPF!!  (Although you dont need luck because you have skill) I went to the Bound 4 Beijing game when u did awesome against Robert Morris University in Washington, PA. I got Jennie's autograph but not yours, but that doesnt mean I dont like Jennie more than you, I wanted to go in both lines, but I couldnt.  And dont worry we'll get softball back for the Olympics!!!!!! I have a question for u about pitching. I know you dont reply to the comments but you do read them so can you please answer this in your next blog? When you are doing the L and your arm is up should you be facing the back of your hand?
