Wed morning, beginning of elimination round

Hey ya'll ~ looks like we have 4 games to win today to make it through. and if we win all of those, then we have 2 to win to make it to the Championship tomorrow night at 9:15. I think we have a good possibility of doing well this first game at 12:00, but it just depends on which personality of our boys decides to show up. Hopefully they got some good rest, and are getting themselves prepared this morning to go the distance. They played really hard yesterday. The umpires we had last night against the Raiders said they would stay and do another game for free just to watch the two teams battle it out, said it was probably the best game they'd seen yet.

I'm happy at this point. I was hoping for 500 ball, and we got that. Some of these boys are so big and so mature, you want to question their eligibility, but you know what, we brought our boys for the experience, and that's what they've had. Whether it be an elite team with aspirations to win the whole she-bang, or an All-star team put together at the end of the season, each team and each game offers it's own unique experience. And each player (can't say boy because there are some girls here too) comes away with their own personal moment in which they pushed thier limits, and reached beyond what they thought themselves capable of.

Highs and lows, rollercoaster of emotions.... and thats why we love baseball :)

proud of my boy, for his sportsmanship and team spirit in spite of a hitting slump, and proud of my sweetie who has shown his level headed side... and hasn't shown his &*^ not one time :)
I know you're proud Dean :)

...altho he did come close the other night when a team was pounding us 18-4 and a player walks out of the dugout with a pink helmet on... evidently their coach saw B about to blow his top in offense and he quickly explained that their boys had made a rule that if you strike out looking, your next at bat you wear a pink batting helmet...
