The boys had two baseball games scheduled this week, one on Monday 7/6 and the other on Thursday 7/9. I took off early on Monday since it was a 6:00 game (they have to be there at 5:30) and the boys started summer school that day, so I wanted to make sure we had enough time to get home, have dinner, etc. At 5:00 we were all in our baseball gear and packing up the car when the phone rang. It was the coach stating the game had been cancelled, due to the rain the previous weekend. We couldn't believe it! It was a beautiful day and the season is almost over as it is, plus it was our game to bring snack and had arranged to get several Imo's pizzas delivered at the end of the game. Everyone was disappointed but the coach assured us it would be rescheduled and he would let us know when asap. Fast forward to Thursday evening, the boys actually got to play but after the first inning they were already down 7-0 and at one point it was 9-0. The team did battle back and ended the game with a hard fought 13-13 tie!!!! They are officially the comeback kids!
Meanwhile, the coach informed us that Mondays game had been rescheduled for next Tuesday July 14th at 6:00pm. I knew that date sounded familiar but didn't have anything written on the calendar and just dismissed the feeling. Then it hit me as I was driving home, Tues July 14th is the ALL-STAR GAME in St Louis. Everyone in our house is very upset about the conflict, but its the last game of the season and we still owe them a pizza party, so I guess we will be TIVOing the game and staying up late to watch it when we get home. GO CARDINALS x 2 !!!!
