Well, we finally started back playing. We are now what is known as "pre-junior". I call it real baseball - leads, everything goes.
We are 2-1. We lost our first game 6-5. We didn't play very well. So we had a good old fashioned Party Self-Critique session. Since then, we have scored 41 runs in two games while allowing a grand total of 6.
This weekend there are some teams coming in from out of town. This will be the first time we've done this as a team instead of a selection team coached by somebody else. I'm really looking forward to it.
The Kid has been in a slump lately. Hitting a lot of ground balls to short and 3rd. So I got this book, Common Hitting Faults and Fixes or some crap like that. I read it. Then I go out to the park and change a couple of things and Voila! There was a former pro player from the Dom Rep there. Played a few weeks with the Orioles and comes in to help when he can. So he starts going on about the difference and what a genius I am.
The Kid looks at him and says, "He's not a genius, he just read the FM!" LOL
