Last night we sat in our cars for a bit until the rain stopped so we could play baseball. The sky finally cleared and it was game on. Mom and Ty stayed home as she was cleaning out his room (you should see it!) and Ty was playing with Ben, who eventually spent the night.
We got out of the gate strong and took a 7-0 lead in the first inning. As the game went on I noticed that the other teams coaches were yelling at the umpire. This went on for a few innings until the umpire stopped the game and told some fan, who was a dad of a player I guess, to leave the ballpark. I guess he told the umpire he was a fucking dumb ass. Well you just can’t do that in baseball, especially a 13 year old league. At first the guy refused to leave and the umpire wouldn’t restart the game until he did. Then their coach started arguing with the umpire and before you knew it, the umpire threw him out of the game too! Next up another of their coaches began to argue and bam, he too was gone. Now all hell was breaking lose and as soon as more coaches (they had like 5!) started to argue, the umpire ended the game and awarded us the game by calling a forfeit. On our side we were watching trying to figure out what was happening from the other side of the field as this all took place in about 3 or 4 minutes. It was starting to rain anyhow and there was only 30 minutes left in the game as it was, so we packed up and went home. We play this same team a week from Tuesday so we’ll see them again. They weren’t mad at us, just at the umpires, one in particular. What drama two games in a row, and in a 13 year old league. By the way, Jagger continued his hitting streak and was on base 3 times and stole a few as well. Next week I’ll miss games on Wednesday and Friday and then we have two on Saturday and two on Sunday. My flight home is at 5:25am so I land at 9am a week from today. Hopefully it’s not a 9am game!
Today I need to do some more work, run to a few stores, the dry cleaners, and hit the gym as I haven’t been all week due to my cold. I also need to stop by and say hi to my Mom as I haven’t seen her in a few weeks as I didn’t want to get her sick.
5:52 now so guess I’ll run. Hope all’s well, take care and God Bless.
