All-Star game

American League

Tonight TJ represented the White Sox for the American league

all-star game and we beat the National league 19-12

The game was a full 9 innings, 3 hrs long. There was electricity

in the air and the stands were packed

All the kids are great ball players so I was really looking forward

to a fun relaxing game with TJ possibly playing in the

outfield with no pressure.

or so I thought

I almost passed out when I found out he was pitching...in the all-star game?

Really? Seriously!

The stress a mother feels anytime her child pitches is off the charts.

Wasn't sure I would be able to breath, but TJ did well and

walked off the field with a smile. The remainder of the game he played

shortstop and 3rd base...with some amazing plays!

TJ just missed a home run...ball hit fence, but didn't go over

My baby pitching as I hyperventilated in the stands

TJ confessed to being really nervous, but it didn't show

TJ and friends after the game

There was a 50/50 raffle and I won! All of Lombard heard

me scream when my number was called.

I walked away with $54, which I

proudly split with TJ. I couldn't of been happier had

it been a thousand bucks

Thank Cindi M. It was fate that you picked my ticket!

Tim took Cal and Karrick to Wis today. TJ and I

will join them after his travel game tomorrow at 8am
