Week In Review ...

So today is Saturday & the week of course just went flying by. Does not seem like a lot really occurred in the last 5 days. But there were some highlights of the week.

Tuesday - Catcher dude turned 14. Instead of spending the day with his classmates at a local Rec Plex for their 8th grade day out, he opted to stay home and hang. We went to Dave and Busters. It is like a grown up Chuckie Cheese. Then later that night he finally had his first game with #2 team.

Oy! What can I say about this team. Hmmmm .. they need work. Lots of it. The basics would be a great start. Catch fly balls? Nah! Who would want to do that? Hold a man on? Not for them. Pick off? What is that you say? Catch the ball when thrown to you? What a novel idea. Why didn't I think of that? It doesn't say much when the coach tells your son he is the best option he has for pitcher and catcher, umm and Catcher dude isn't a great pitcher.

Catcher Dude pitched 3 1/2 of the 5 innings played. He BB 3, SO 7, and hit one. LOL. Then caught the other 1 1/2 innings. They are going to have to do something different. He can not pitch and catch that much in a game. Too much on a 14 year old arm. Batting? Well first of all there are so many in line-up (league rules not coaches) and they were not making contact with the ball so 2 AB in 5 innings? Not a good sign. Not great AB's. He had 1H with 2 SB. So Avg for #2 is .500, but brought his over all Avg down. They ended up losing 2 - 12. Not the best way to end a birthday.

Wednesday - Another evening at the ball park. Time for team #1 to step up. They BLEW this game. Period. They were winning 6-4 in the bottom of the 4th. They pull Catcher dude in catching and I am not saying one had to do with the other .. they end up losing 17-6 after 6. *sigh* His batting was not on either. But he did get more AB's this night. 3 AB's, 1 SO, 1 BB, and 3 SB. The teams SO's were up again, 9 total.

So this wasn't the week for baseball. That is for sure!! I will say I will be glad when school is out for summer. These 8:15 games and not getting home until after 11-11:30 are killing us for the morning after.

Thursday & Friday - These were a stay at home day. Really not by choice. I had to return to DR for a complication of the surgery in March. So I was not able to take CD where he probably should have been. Like practice for team #2, or TKD, or whatever is on the multiple growing to do list.

That about sums up the week. Not all that speical. But enough to keep us jumping.

What is on tap this weekend? Well there is many options for today ..

• There is the 5k he signed up for in the school districts Run/Walk. (7:50 am)

• There is team pictures for #2 team. (9 am)

• Also a practice was called for team #2. (After pictures are done)

• Also he is supposed to make-up test for TKD. (12:30 pm)

Do ya think he is a little over booked? Yep! That's my boy!! He went to bed last night I fell a sleep before I heard the final answer as to what he picked. So I am just sitting here waiting for whatever the day brings.

Well I have rambled on enough I suppose. Until the next time ...
