Last Weekday Game

Shane asked Carrie if she was coming to his game tonight. She was working and said something like, "No, but I love you! Do your best!" 

Which was wasn't that bad of a call. I'd love to sit and talk with Carrie at a game, but it was super hot, super humid, and she'd be super aggravated if Shane started to play in the dirt when he was supposed to be paying attention. And if he didn't respond when a coach redirected him? It wouldn't have been pretty. I thought Shane would have trouble focusing in the heat and humidity himself (He's got a track record of it when the weather is nice!).

Shane had a phenomenal game. He hit. He made good fielding attempts. He listened. He focused on the game far more this time than others.

Not that there wasn't time to have fun.

And I'm okay with that. He was on base and ran when he was supposed to run. Nothing wrong with a little personality!

It helped Shane got to be the catcher for the second inning.

That gave him a job every pitch.

And he got to armor up.

There wasn't a lot of catching, but there was a lot of trying. Awesome job, Shane!

I take it all back: Carrie should have come to this game. She would have been proud. I made sure to tell her about it when we got home.

But is this the last game? There's rain on the forecast the rest of the week. We're supposed to wrap up Saturday......at 1:30 PM. That leaves plenty of time for the rain and cuts into the chance of other weekend plans. We're supposed to visit Carrie's parents. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens! It's been a good season.
