Blue’s team lost by one run yesterday in his championship game. They played the Yankee’s.  You remember.  The team with the coaches with man goatees that take things to serious?  

Anyway, Blue’s team did great.  They were loosing most of the game but came back to tie it up at the top of the last inning.  Blue got on base all three times he was up and was somehow dirtier than every other kid.  He got a pretty cool trophy and loves carrying it around and putting it places so he can look at it.

Now, I played little league growing up and there were always one or two coaches that seemed to take things a little too far.  The way this league works is that the coach pitches five pitches to the kids and if they miss those then they are allowed to hit off the tee.  Let’s just say that if it were any other league the Yankee’s coach would have been a great pitcher.  He “struck out” every one of his kids allowing every batter to hit off the tee.  Clever strategy I suppose.  Either way we had a great time and the boys had fun.

We found out yesterday that there is a County Tournament for the cities best teams starting today that Blue’s team is in so it’s cool the season doesn’t have to end quite yet.  I can’t say enough good things about Blue’s coaches.  They have done a great job.  I have no idea how they are able to organize twelve 5 year olds, but somehow they do it and do it well.  I will have some pictures posted here as soon as I can.
