tonight's little league game.....

I figured I should complain here than to go to the coach and make it worse for the kids.....so here goes.

A bit of background, the coach is a mom and she has never coached before. Our children are all boys 7 years or younger. This year is coach pitch where one of the coach's pitch to the kids.

So bullet points here we come.....
  • Out of 9 games we have only won 1.
  • Tonight we lost.....13 - 0.
  • Our pitcher tonight struck almost all of our kids out. The umpire even stopped and commented to him that he should quit striking the kids out.
  • Tonight alone there were only 19 times at bat.
  • Out of those 19 times at bat 13 kids were struck out.
  • There were 4 hits! :)
  • There were 2 outs on base.
  • The other team each got to bat 3 times apiece.
  • Our team only got to bat twice except for one kid and he only got to bat once.

Next year, if my son wants to play again, I won't score keep. It is too hard to watch game after game after game....

I am off to go have some chicken wings and maybe an electric lemonade to forget about it all.

The red-headed son went with the grandparents (my parents) after the game. I am gonna go on a date with my hubster and forget all about the game! :) Hopefully the boy is having to much of a blast to care that they lost 13 - 0.

Hopefully Monday's game won't be like this. This was the most brutal of them all.

geesh...just remember they are there to have fun and thats all it should be about at this young age in their lives.

emma played soccer and i was the over zealous parent. always screaming and yelling at her to get em'.

but then i remembered it is about her having fun and nothing else :)
