Both boys graduated to "coach pitch" baseball this season, and are really enjoying it. And even though it is technically called coach pitch, they are already practicing for the next level of "kid pitch". They start out each batter with a player pitching, and when (if) they get to 4 balls, the coach comes out and pitches.
DS #1 has been pitching, and doing great! DS #2 loves his team, and his coach. He has been playing a lot of infield positions. Both of them need to work on their throws, and strengthening their arms. And this leads to a lot of "lifting weights" (like chairs and play tables) and exercising with me...
I love to go to their games and get to know the other families and players. It's a great bunch of people. It's going to be a fun fall!

I bet they love that team name! One year, my brother's team was sponsored by a hardware store so they were the Termites...terrifying only to homeowners! I am sure those boys would have rather been the Pirates.
Given where we are, maybe a team should be named the Cockroaches! lol
Thanks, mom. It was actually needed, since that game was played at 6:30pm, and the pitchers' mound on that field faces west.....the sun was directly even with the pitchers' face.
Cockroaches also have the gross-out factor that most boys seem to delight in. What's gross about a termite?
Actuallly, as far as advertising goes, the Termites did their job. It is the only team name I can remember and he played baseball for a good many years. I bet you'd remember the Cockroaches too!
Great to see the boys are taking on the greatest sport ever invented! Are there any games scheduled around thanksgiving this fall so I can see them play?
Unfortunately, no...their season ends Nov. 11th.
We'll tape a game for ya. :)
So, are you coming for Thanksgiving, then??
I really would like to, but I probably won't be able to because of work. Since I am only one of two valets, it will be hard to take that much time off. Also I am going to be moving into an apartment with Ben Cox and my other friend Ben, so I gotta make 1st and last payments..But definitely I would like to see a tape of one of their games! Thanks!
That's what I thought, so I was surprised when it sounded like you might be coming!
We'll be making the drive at Christmas (unless I chicken out at the last minute....)
;)
We'll definitely tape a game where Ethan pitches....watching the kids is hilarious!
