Mommy Loves Baseball Too!!!: August 2016

DISCLAIMER: I am not a writer or critic, just an everyday mom who really loves baseball...especially when my kids are on the field!!!

My blog was created to track my children's special moments on the field and their experience(s) with their respective teams. It is written through a mother's eyes. The intent is solely for the purpose of reliving the game(s) during post season. From my experience, there will be some bad plays / unfortunate incidents, and these may be recorded in order to follow the game(s). There will also be times when I will have questions or doubts...but these are MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION(S).

I apologize in advance if I do, but I do not intend to criticize any player, or coach...I SIMPLY CALL IT AS I SEE IT!!!

PLAYOFFS - Game 1

Hard to believe that it's already the end of the Season and we are headed into the playoff games. It can only mean one sad thing...that 2016 Summer is almost over.

The Cardinals' boys have had a very successful season this year, coming in first in the Fergie Jenkins league...this means they automatically advance to Game 3.

For Game 3, we had to travel to the George Taylor field in St. Catherines, Ontario as the boys were up against the Bulletproof Prospects. It was a Friday evening game, starting at 8:30 p.m., so no time off of work was needed today. The drive wasn't too bad and traffic was lighter than we expected. We had to pick up one of the boys on our way to the field.

TO BE UPDATED.

PENNSYLVANIA TOURNAMENT

This is the only tournament I haven't been able to attend, so far. Firstly, I couldn't take time of from work due to our hectic schedule and secondly, the regular team is not attending this tournament.

A lot of the boys, for different reasons, were not going to participate in this tournament. We knew ahead of time because Coach asked if we knew any player who wouldn't mind going. Andy made a couple phone calls and got one player, who was on Aaron's team last year, to go. It also meant, he had to take the kid with him as his father couldn't get time off on such short notice.

Andy didn't take any notes for me. ll he said was they played badly, but that was expected since they didn't have the regular team and a few call-up players. Aaron, he said, played really well and took the catcher's position for one of the games. Do you think, I got even one photo??? An entire weekend and NOT ONE photo of my kid playing!

Can't complain much...when he brought me back a nice present!
