Oooops...someone was very wrong about the end of the world. That was a major faux pas....did anyone really think that he was right? I heard of one man who stopped paying his bills thinking that this was it....what was he thinking? You don't use money in heaven....perhaps a debit card...no cash...
Well, yesterday Buddy's team came out on fire and won the game with a big number. Buddy did get the call to come in to relieve the starter. He made it through the first inning and had two runners on base with one out during his second inning. According to the big kid, he was lifted from the game for a senior who had not seen much time on the mound. The team was winning by a big number, so the coach felt secure in putting the pitcher in with one out, so that he could be on television and finish his college pitching career on a high note. Sadly, he had a rough outing and was eventually replaced before he was able to secure an out....
With that said, the team qualified for the conference tournament which will start on Wednesday. The top six teams are on the roster with Buddy's team playing a team that they had previously beaten (always a good draw). Buddy and his team mates are thrilled, not just because they are still playing ball in late May but because they are going to get "a lot of cool stuff". What is "cool stuff?" Well....since the games/tournament has big sponsors, they will receive tee shirts, back packs, luggage, hats, and so on with the sponsors' brand on them. They will also be on television as they wear their "cool stuff". And we will look for ways to bring the cool stuff home in a small Honda.
The plan is to make the 8 hour drive before Wednesday afternoon's game. We already secured the hotel room and now need tickets. Dad does not think that I have to order them now, however, if he is wrong and I make the long trip to the tournament and cannot get a ticket, he will walk home with the "cool stuff" on his back.
