AFull Moon, A New Roof and Another Home Run



TJ had an 8:00 game Friday night. We ( White Sox)
Didn't bring our game and were slaughtered by the A's
OUCH!
I blame the full moon
TJ's arm hurt while pitching (still did ok)
just wasn't amazing
He hit the fence while batting
just no home run
The entire team was off

We finally had a new roof put on Saturday
No more indoor water features
After a late night game Friday, TJ had to be at the field at 7:30 am
 for the 2 nd out of a 3 day travel tryout(Thunder travel team)
Many of the boys had 8pm games, but they gave it their all for a
chance to fill one of the coveted 11 spots.
We started with 22 and are down to 18
Final cut tomorrow after another 7:30 am start
After the 2 1/2 hours tryout, TJ had an hour and a half to eat and rest
before playing in a 12:30 game
for the White Sox
TJ will play non-stop if allowed, but he looked at me with those giant
blown eyes and said
"mom, I don't think I can play can I call in sick?"
No, TJ you can't, we'll let coach know your arm is over pitched
and to pitch someone else.
Just do your best
He looks dead
Well, my tired over pitched baby got up to bat and
SMACK!!!!
hit the ball over the fence for his 3rd home run in a week
Home Run Club

Kyle got his 1 st homer today, Tj got his 3rd and Zach got his 1st
Congrats boys!

At the top of the last inning we were up by 7 runs 
Our pitcher walks 4 guys in a row and doesn't recover
With all our reserves exhausted, coach puts in TJ
I wasn't happy, he could hurt his arm. Thank God TJ
Strikes out the next 3 batters to end the game
TJ gave up only one run in the last 12 innings he pitched
He is absolutely incredible
We won by 6
A much needed mental win

Needless to say TJ came home and fell asleep even with all the 
pounding on the roof

Just think he gets to do it all again at 7:30 am 
Sunday...Happy Mother's Day
