Sobering thought, that girl playing soccer looked like this when I first joined the Buffistas back in the Table Talk days.
She's so tall!
Although they don't make a big deal of the score in these soccer games, both the kid's teams won handily. It was kinda satisfying that my daughter's team won since the opposing coach was sorta intense and their coed team was more experienced then my daughter's all girl team.
We played our first game on Saturday, and not only lost but the slaughter rule was invoked. Woe!
Though we were actually ahead after two innings (against a tough team) and it came down to one bad inning. It was my fault for leaving a pitcher out there too long when he was getting batted around. I knew he'd give up some runs but I wanted to give him some experience and he wasn't walking anybody. But it can really undermine their confidence when they get hammered like that. On the other hand, he might not be able to pitch at this level.
Oops! Happy birthday, Kathy!
Happy birthday, Raquel!

Sounds rough. It's got to be hard to both try to win and teach the game.
I meant to say--Happy Birthday, Raq!!

You definitely don't want to start the season 0-4. Most of the coaches try to get a win on the books early, and then they work in some games where the pitching isn't going to be as strong. Usually if you need a win, though, you can run your best pitcher out there for four innings and make it happen though.
happy birthday Kathy and Raq!!
I started the morning by having blood drawn, and then lying down for ten minutes so I wouldn't pass out.

Remember when people on the interpipe thought you and shrift were the same person? This is why. She can't have a fainting spell without you having a sympathetic one the next day.
Happy Birthday Kathy and Raq!
