The World According to Leslie

Today is Monday! So I thought I'd give an explanation for the "Six Word Saturday" that I posted. As if one is really needed.... Thursday...game. We won. Friday...game. We won. Saturday...game. We lost. Actually.... to be honest the other coach cheated and we should have tied and gone into overtime. However... I am trying really hard to be nice (NOW!). I was very rude and ill on Saturday as it happened and immediately after the game. I went so far as to try call the other coach a "cheating jerk who doesn't know anything about playing by the rules". Luckily...after hearing what he had done, other parents and some of the other coaches felt the same way. NO! I didn't go make an announcement, although I felt like it! The parents and other coaches were there.... it was the first of two possible Championship games. If we had won (which we would have in OT) we would have played again. Unfortunately, the coach added a player in the middle of the ...

So last night we played again....in the drizzle! I almost pulled Chasity out of the game, but decided to see how hard the rain was going to get! It wasn't bad....so I left her in the game! She did great! She even got the game ball.... Why??? I'm so glad you asked! lol In the first inning, she got a single and knocked a run in. That tied the game at 3-3! Then in the 2nd inning, she got out going to 1st base, but she still knocked in another run. That tied us up 6-6! Then the next batter knocked in the winning run, but because it is a church league, everyone bats every inning (at least in the 5-6 year olds!)! (I think that's a great rule!!) Anyways....the final batter knocked in one more run so we won 8-6! What does that mean? Well....it means that we play tonight again! At 6:30pm we play (if it isn't storming....they are calling for bad storms!). Tonight's game is against a team that also played last night. We aren't sure yet who we play....I did...

Wow! I know I have said it before, but 5-6 year old baseball is stressful! I'm going to have heart failure if they keep playing like this! Monday night, we played a team that we had met twice in regular season. We won once; we lost once! We were hoping to avoid them for a while in the tournament! Anyways.... after Friday night's loss to the Braves (10-9)....we had to play Saturday morning. We won! It went into a single overtime, but we won. Friday night's game went into overtime also! So then we had to play Monday night. OMG!!!!! We played the White Sox--this was going to be the tie breaker for our two teams! Because there is an hour time limit, we usually play 2 innings. Fine.... we can do that! BUT....Monday night, we were tied at the end of the 2nd. So we played our next 4 batters and they played their next 4 batters.... at the beginning of OT, the score was 7-7. At the end of those 8 batters (our 4 and their 4) the score was 9-9. Now.... OT #2. We sco...
