Will plays multiple positions for the Southwest All-Stars, and my brother is one of the team coaches. (Added note: This team is coached by the sons of and includes two grandsons of two former Texas Tech baseball coaches, my Dad and Larry Hays. Kinda neat.)
Will at the bat.It’s been too long since I went to a Little League game. I had a great time. The teams playing at this level – even if they are 9 and 10 year olds -- are playing some good quality ball. Plus, you get a great seat and things move slowly enough that you can keep track of things. I like going to Rangers games, but the cost is stupid and the distance I have to sit away from the action means I spend most of my time making estimates as to what just happened.
Sam and Dad calculate batting averages and time to diaper change.Good ole Southwest finished second, which is nothing to sniff at; but there was some serious disappointment when they lost their final game. Still, it was fun to see the family and watch my nephew play. And with some luck and work, there’s always next year.
I remember that time in my life – when there was always next year. Sigh.
Sports related haikus
(At this point, a few words more than suffice.)
The Cowboys
Romo? Whatever.
The old boss is the same boss,
bad Botox or not.
The state of the NFL
Now Michael Vick can
stop torturing his doggies
and start hurting fans.
The BCS
The stadiums fill.
Excitement runs high, and then
Everybody whines.
The Rangers
I am sorry, but
my belief circuitry has
been fried to a crisp.
On Tech’s chances
I’m sure we’ll do good.
But it won’t be as awesome.
Success breeds boredom.
On the University of Texas
Mack
Brown
Dumb.
