We're saving all our pieces for the big run to come apparently. Problem is the fans is getting restless.

Champs and More
14U Team won summer travel league with a 5-2 win. OSSS played 3B, made some nice defensive plays. Had an RBI Sac Fly and a BB. Season over. As the guy who runs things said "eight of these boys were on the first two 9U teams (OSSS was 8 at the time) and this was their last game in the navy blue". Only fitting they got to hold a trophy.
Taking YSSS to get some additional football gear today. Practice starts Wednesday...he seems pretty pumped.
Mets are absolutely horrific. TG we get a little excitement and a W with the new kid, Matt Harvey. But this is a team falling off the face of the Earth.
I'm playing Words with Friends on my iPhone. Addictive.

Summer Sunday
Just sitting around, getting hot here in North J. Gotta bring OSSS to baseball practice in a few.
Just bought some tix to Miami Marlins - Washington Nationals at Nationals Park for August 5. Mike Morse bobblehead day! There's a Sportscard Convention in Baltimore that week so we will make a couple of days out of it I guess.
YSSS attended a football camp this week. He really liked it which is awesome. I think he's got the perfect demeanor for football so I'm hoping he gets an opportunity this season. Last year (his first) he was basically left on the sidleimes during the games, and the coaching was pretty much non-existent. Since I coach I can assess that situation pretty well.
NY Mets are killing me. We go into All-Star break six games above .500. A week later we are at 47-47. Can't win a thing. Very little in the way of clutch. An outfield full of 4th outfielders. A starting rotation that is decimated. And no hope on the horizon. Not good.
Listening to WFAN this week. Yankee fan calls Mike F. and details how the Yankees need to get King Felixto ensure their absolute dominance of the AL. Rightfully so, Mike tells him "this is why everyone hates Yankee fans". I agree.
The pool looks spectacular. It's like something you would see in a commercial.
Vacation spot this year: Myrtle Beach. Going to look for Kenny Powers spots.
Spent a couple sessions at (not really) local batting cages so OSSS can get his swing down. He looks good. Ready for playoffs. YSSS was absolutely ripping yesterday, even though season was over. Told me "football camp was good for me". Music to my ears.
Adios.

Winding Down
YSSS's team lost in round 1 of playoffs last night...score was 8-7. He went 1-3 with a walk and a SB, got stranded on 2B twice. He really picked his game up this summer despite the way he was used; he usually batted behind two boys who couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. He finished with a BA around .400 but cut his strikeouts down dramatically, just 3 in 39 plate appearances. Nice. We will work in the off-season so he can come back a better player.
OSSS is playing up on a 14U team that is 11-1 in regular season and gets a bye to round 2 of playoffs on Sunday. He has played well in the field and pitching; he wents 6 innings last night for the win - he ended up 3-0 on mound. His hitting (greatest strength) has dipped. He is struggling right now at the plate after a torrid start...we will hit the cages at least twice before he plays again Sunday.
Football season (August 1) almost upon us. YSSS is looking to make the 1st team of the squad he's on. Attending a football camp this week; hopefully they show him something because his coaches never did last year.

When It Is What It Is But You Thought It Was Something Else
Let's just say that this last 6 weeks or so have shown me who my friends are and who aren't. Sayonara losers.
When it comes to my kids being excluded though...that is it. I have no problem telling you all I would KILL anyone for my kids. No problemo. Not even a second thought.
And remember all...I don't threaten. I act.
