Whatever happened to my daily posts? Well, I no longer have Internet access at home, that is the largest factor I’d guess. Oh well …
Anyway, as I’ve indicated, baseball season is over. This is good and bad.
We ended up losing the NDBA Peewee Championship played against Niagara Falls by two games to none, two ugly games actually. The trophies that we received looked like leftovers for the gay pride parade – not that there is anything wrong with that … lol
The Provincial “A” Championships were held over Labour Day Weekend in Niagara Falls.
We opened against Sault Ste. Marie on Friday. The game was delayed for 2 hours due to rain but we got it going again and held them off for a 5-1 win. That gave us a bye in the 2nd round. Niagara Falls won both of their games so guess who we meet in round 3?
We play NF on Saturday morning and lost by a score of 5-1, not a bad game at all. Perhaps they weren’t going after us on all cylinders, I am not sure but we held our own.
Facing elimination, we played Kingston Saturday afternoon in COLD conditions, much better suited for football. We ended up losing 16-13 in a long game full of crazy hits (due to extreme wind) and shitty umpiring (for both sides, they just sucked).
We finished up the season with a good year end party.
This time of year, after baseball is done is always bitter sweet. I’ll miss the coaches, players and parents and the games – practices aren’t much fun though so I won’t miss that aspect.
Best of luck to all of the players as they continue along playing the game that they all love. For me, who knows what I’ll be doing next year – no decisions have been made as yet.
