Todays game on October 2, 2008 was against the Mets.

The batting look a strange turn when Korben decided to swing his bat both ways and connecting on the swing back. The other kids decided that look a lot of fun and also tried the new swinging style, luckily Coach Marc was able to help out the team and get them hitting in the correct direction

Andrew was is normal fast self and was ripping up the bases

Blade decided to do some dancing on 1st base as he waited for the next hitter. I think he has a future in a yet to be named reality TV series.

Andrew had one of this friends from school on the Mets, as always he is glad to see his friends.

Today’s game on September 29, 2008 was against the Rangers. My photographer decided to travel for business so things are a bit lighter than normal as I need to run around the field first and try and take some pictures second.

The team was excited for the nice evening game again and was determined to listen to Coach Marc.

Andrew is starting to listen a little better and the practice at home is starting to help. The consistency of his swing is just improving, also he is throwing a little better, that is an area of focus for our practice I believe.

The kids just cannot stay away from the dirt and just love to the kick up a dust storm. It does not seem to bother the kids, but those of us with contacts it was a challenge to see what was going on.

Well I am back to trying to clean my contacts.

Today’s game on September 25, 2008 against the Tigers was exciting… well for the coaches trying to get the team to play their positions that is.

I am convinced Andrew is a complete a ham and any time the camera is pointed at him he is striking a pose. He definitely has a future in professional sports.

There were a few really good plays, the best was by Eli with this gab

It was Zach’s 4th birthday soon, and he brought an extra snack and the kids got some yummy cookies. Great to have these and then get Andrew to bed, hmm geez thanks again.

Today’s game against the Rockhounds was a lot of fun for the team. The day started a bit earlier than most of the kids are used to with pictures starting at 7:45 am and the game at 9:00. Let’s just say they were losing interest more than usual close to 10:00 am

Donna was Jones’n for some donuts and helped the kids (ok parents too) get their sugar fix for the morning. I think I found someone that actually likes chocolate more than Andrew, he had at least 3 donuts with chocolate frosting. I can only think of what fun his parents had with him in the afternoon. They might want to look up my margarita recipe.

Our next game is not until Thursday the 25th… so we have a few days for some extra practice time at home to strengthen our catching skills. I am still trying to figure out how to get Andrew or any of the other kids to stay at first base, but is seems that foot ball and base ball have been combined to form the new sport Tackle Ball.

Until next time
