Baseball Season


I must admit that I am not really a big fan of baseball but now that boys are playing it has changed the whole game for me. Each time one of them gets up to bat or pitch my heart starts to pound and I sit on the edge of my seat. I'm the lady in the stands screaming the team onto victory. Well now both of my boys are in the playoffs and I don't think I have any nails left on my finger tips. Jake's game last night took us to the very end ...the score was 14 to 13 we were

losing, bases were loaded we had 2 outs and Jake had struck out his last time up to bat. Pressure was intense when he came up to bat again under these conditions. It was the bottom of the last inning ..it was all up to Jake. If he struck out then we were done for the season if he hit we had a chance. So he gets 2 strikes one chance left ...he hits the ball bringing the guy on third home and he makes it to first...standing on first with his arms straight up in the air...everyone screaming his name!! He had tied the game. Next guy up hits the next guy home ...we end up winning the game and moving on. It was very intense! Now I do see how people can get excited for baseball.
Aidan's game tonight was a wipe out. They blew the other team away..not much of a game but the little guy was thrilled to be moving on to the next game as well. Tomorrow we have both playoff games back to back...can I handle it?!
