July Came in with a BANG, SNAP, CRACKLE, POP ..

.. and I am not talking Fireworks.


Catcherdude broke his right index finger.

I am so wishing I would have kept my BIG MOUTH SHUT!!

CD had 2 games last night. The first one was on delay when we arrived. Apparently the game prior to theirs a runner was stealing third and ran into the third baseman. He broke his shin (apparently) on impact. The ambulance took it's sweet little time getting to the school. So it was delaying the following games. When CD's game started we already knew we were in for trouble with time. It just so happens they only bat 9 at time so he was not in the game as of yet so he asked about leaving to get to other game. No problem ..

We arrived at second game and there stands the coaches son on crutches and cast on leg. Apparently the game the night before he was running to first, tripped over bag and and broke his ankle.

So he comes the part when I should have KEPT MY BIG MOUTH CLOSED!!

I told the boys to be careful. Things seem to happen in 3's. :(( I jinxed my own son. :(

Out of 13 kids only 8 were there. You can play with 8, but it sure makes it hard on the boys. Since they were short kids the coach decided to make some adjustments. Put a kid that has not caught before behind plate. He placed CD in left-center & "knucklehead" in right center. "Knucklehead" didn't get the concept you have to also help cover center. NOOOOO He stayed in right and never moved his (_!_)

Third inning ..

Ball hit to Outfield. CD running like mad to catch this ball. He jumps and dives trying to make a last stitch effort to catch the ball. That was all she wrote for him. Not sure how but landed wrong. In lots of pain, swelling by the minute, but not going to leave the game as then they will forfeit. (Like I care .. where is the other 4 kids on the team? Where are they to support their team? To give a sh*t?)

Then what does the coach ask of him? PITCH! Oh for the love of god!! So with a broken finger he proceeds to pitch the next 3 innings. UGH!!!

[side note: I do understand he/we/CD had no clue it was broke at this time .. but still annoys me]

So that is it. Season is over. That's a wrap! So one broken finger .. 3 teams short a player. Bummer!
