Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good morning to Islands in the Muck. Grandson's team won their second game 8 to nothing. I opted out of the 8:30 game but the Princess went. They won that game 6 to 1 to win the tournament. Two tournaments so far (18 teams to tournament) and they have been first and second. It's a high powered team. Grandson just moved up to this team and has been fine with his pitching and fielding but has had a problem hitting against the pitchers at this level. Yesterday he had a double and a single in the first game, a line drive that scored a kid and a walk in the second, and a strike out and got hit by a pitch in the third game. Thankfully kid who got hit in the head on Sat. does not have a concussion, but the coaches did not play him yesterday.

TK, tsk, tsk.

You understand how it goes - you just want the kids to succeed and have fun. Another boy who moved up to this team with grandson has also been struggling. He pitched the 4 innings in the game that was called at the fourth inning due to a landslide, had several good hits and made a great play to first. Both of his grandmothers were there and we shared our happiness for the kids. Saturday was a pluperfect 'B' of a day - windy, cold and just miserable weather wise. Yesterday was a gorgeous day.

The facility that these kids play at has 6 fields, many batting cages, a moderately priced food concession stand - all in all a great facility. Teams come from all over the East coast to play here, and we are lucky enough to live only a few miles away.

X2 !!! Sounds like your grand grandson figured out the pitching pretty quick! We've got five baseball games this week! I'll be able to bale my grass and sell it for hay by the time I get to mow it.

yes sir, sour, I surely do......

we traveled to San Antone this Saturday for a very important league football game.....must win for our boys......we previously played this team and lost 14-6......this week, we won 12-6, in the last ten seconds of the game.......all of the boys really stepped their game up, and came ready to play.

I enjoy coaching and seeing these boys have success.

My teenage Campines are so obedient! They put themselves to bed each night and even segregate the sexes without being asked.
