It has taken me a day to blog this entry, partly because I am exhausted and partly because I don't want to let go of a baseball season that was so much fun and in which we interacted with so many great people.
Joshua, once again, was the starting pitcher for the Twins against the Mariners. Once again, Joshua was outstanding. He pitched three innings, struck out five or six and walked one. At the top of the fourth inning, the score was 1-0 Mariners. We brought in our next pitcher, who probably throws the hardest on our team and he was throwing harder than I have ever seen him throw. In fact, harder than I have seen any 10 year old throw this season. But for some reason, the Mariners drilled him. We brought in our next pitcher, who is as talented (but not always as strong upstairs if you know what I mean) as any kid in our league and he was toasted as well. It didn't help that our defense completely fell apart behind them and when it was all said and done, we lost 12-0. They looked as sharp as any team we have played all year and we looked as bad as we have all year. I think part of it was the exhaustion of the kids on our team - after two extra inning games and one that lasted two days, Joshua told me as we rode home that he was "kind of" glad that the season was over because he is so tired.
We take possession of our new house tomorrow. Moving begins and the exhaustion continues (but it you weren't tired, life would be boring, right?). We are all so excited about the move and can't wait to have our own place once again. There are neighbors to meet and a community that needs to be impacted. Let's get it on!
