No More Shortstop?

Left early on Tuesday and drove over to almost Woodstock for Will’s game, not realizing they were playing a JV team (Riverside Military, out of Gainesville ). Will’s team batted around in the first inning, scoring ten runs, and left the bases loaded. Will hit two groundouts in the inning. Then he was pulled, to let more young guys play. They won 15-0.

Interesting development. Will caught the first inning. The freshman playing shortstop had a spectacular day, both in the field and at the plate. So far the other two catchers hadn’t done a good job, even against inferior competition. Both are better defensively at other positions. Looks like Will is going to be doing a lot of catching. He’d rather play centerfield, but the team will be at it’s best with Will at catcher, Ian at short, and Chris in center.

Will’s old coach was the plate umpire, and we had a nice chat. Classmate Lucy and her mom came to the game, near their house. Dad Lee would’ve come from work, but the game ended early.

At PF Chang, all our kids like what I get…sweet & sour chicken. Got that yesterday when I went with the Ogre, at a little local place . Me and Brad, my office neighbor, always try to get the Ogre to take us to Fuddruckers. Brad had went with him to one of his other favorite places the day before, and told me he had a hankering for Chinese. So I scored points by suggesting we eat Chinese.

Will wanted to turn on the Louisville game last night, but I made him go to bed. Good thing, if it lasted until 11:30. I told him there would be plenty of basketball over the next few weeks.

Wonder if Arnie tells Tiger to stay away from Bay Hill. Guess Arnie will be like everyone else, being thankful for the ratings boost. But if anyone would turn Tiger down, it would be Arnie.

Yesterday was Lang’s dad’s 75^th birthday. Saturday we’re going to the Lobster House, that kinda new place that replaced Bugaboo at Haynes Bridge & 400. Will and Ceil love seafood…we’ll see how the rest of us do.
