No Mercy

Last night’s game was more brutal.  The boys looked the best I had ever seen any of them play all season.  We were ahead 17-12 in the fourth and then…the worst umpire ever…made three bad calls and the boys just couldn’t recover from them.  I have never seen an umpire stand 15 feet from the home plate before.  He actually stood by the dugout.  He missed a tagged out at homeplate that 30 parents witnessed.  We lost 17-18.  There were tears…but not Ryan’s.  He sat in the dugout by himself eating sunflower seeds as parents were consoling their kids.  I think he thought he was actually a major league player at that moment.  He’s asked several times today if I will buy him sunflower seeds.  All you want Buster!
