    Rain Delays Stink

    It is 1:15 in the morning, I have 8 lessons tomorrow starting at 9AM, what am I still doing up? I am either addicted to baseball or really stupid. I will let you decide. Is this game actually going to go into extra innings as well?

    All-Star Game Blues

    Sorry about missing last night. I turned on the all-star game to watch it and when I woke up it was 6AM. What a game eh? At least that is what I hear. What are they going to do about that? I think they should have a pitcher reentry rule like juniors/seniors. One time only. It puts a manager in quite a quandry.

    What do you think? What should they do about extra inning games in the all-star game?

    What a Game!

    The Scenario

    We were down by 3 after 3, then went ahead 4-3 in the bottom of the 4th only to allow the other team to go up 6-4 in the top of the 6th! But, we had a girl hit a home run in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game, 1-2-3 in the top of the 7th, a single, stolen base, and a double, boom, we won!

    OK, that is the physical. The girls were impossible to contain, they were pumped! I was so proud of them, but I really don’t even care about that part.

    The Reality

    The girl that hit the double happens to be my assistant’s daughter. He is more of a co-head coach and knows as much, if not more, about the game as I do. When I looked up after I waved our winning run home, she had run to him full speed, launched and gave him the biggest bear hug ever! Full leg and arm wrap. That is what this is all about, moments like that make every volunteer hour upon hour worth it.
