Murfreesboro's 7-8 year old baseball team won again. They beat Jessica Steel Gunter of Nasville 7-3 despite some horrible calls by the umps who were kids. One inning we had 2 outs and the umps said 3, so we had to quit batting and take the field. All the boys played well, and I am very proud of them even though I am the head coach. Anthony went 1 for 2 with a strikeout and a single on which he later scored. We are now 3-1 in league play with about 12 more games to play.

Murfreesboro's 12 and under baseball team (Lucas' team) lost last night to a hand-picked team from Ashdown. Final score was 15-7. Lucas got to bat twice and drew a walk each time. He tired to score from second on a hit to right and was thrown out at the plate. He also stole a base later in the game and scored. They are now 1-2 in league play.

Last night Lucas' team lost to a team from Nashville 6-5 in 6 innings. Lucas went 0-3 with a strike out, a ground out to third, and a pop fly to shortstop that was a great catch. They are now 3-3 in league play, but not playing bad baseball. It was a good game with the home team scoring in the final half of the 6th inning to win.

Chalk up another win for Anthony's team. They beat Delight tonight by a score of 4-0. Anthony went 0-2 with 2 strikeout. They now have a 5-4-1 record.
It has been a trying couple of days as coach of Anthony's team. Friday night I was coaching third and had a boy come around third with the ball over close to first base. I told the boy to run, and he got hit by the ball, then thrown out at home. His mother pulled his pants down in the dugout in front of all the other parents to see where he got hit, then procedded to cuss me out for sending her son and letting him get hit. I took it, and we finished the game tied. I heard today that some of the parents were going to have the boys VOTE to see if they wanted me to stay as head coach or not. These are 7-8 year old boys, most can't tie their own shoes yet they are wanting to ask them to vote me out? CRAZY PARENTS! However they did not call for a vote and I am still the head coach, until the trouble makers can figure another way to get rid of me which won't be easy.

Coaching...no way you'd get me to take on that thankless job! Parents get psycho about sports...just keep on doing what you do and try to shield the boys from the politics as much as you can!

Coaching a kids team, gotta love it! I mean that! You gotta love it because as Toby says, it's a thankless job for the most part.
Kids get hurt. Nothing new in the world.
Who do they think would replace you?
Stupid thing is that if he had made it the parent would be cheering.

Unbelievable! You know, even if the coach sucks to high Heaven, where in the hell do the parents get off telling their kids to vote, and how to vote? I think maybe they need to be told to either "step up" or "shut up!" Too bad the refs can't call a "Technical" like basketball. You know sometimes I wonder if God didn't sub-contract His creation! Freddie, what do you tell your boys when they hear this crap?

Lucas killed his first deer today, a spike with about 3 in. horns. He made a good shot the first shot, then missed with the 2nd and then finished him off with a great shot to the lung area. This is the first deer he has ever killed and I am very proud of him.
Tomorrow Anthony gets to go and try his luck.
