Game 12: On Monday, the Westdale Brewers played the Westdale Cubs, beating them solidly, 15-4, gaining revenge on their loss from the week previously.
Watch carefully, because I'm only going to say this once: WOOO-HOOO! BREWERS BEAT THE CUBS!
The Brewers struck early, scoring two runs in the first inning. The Cubs came back in the bottom of the first, scoring four, but would not score for the rest of the game. The Brewers were very patient with the Cubs pitching, drawing plenty of walks and manufacturing runs. Max went 1-3, with a K, a hit, and a perfect bunt that drove a runner from second to third, which went on to score. The Brewers pitching recovered from the first inning, and went on to shut the Cubs out for the next five innings. Max played two innings in right field, and one in left.

This game was delayed for nearly half an hour when, on a close play at the plate, the Cubs catcher was knocked out after a collision with the Brewers left-fielder. As you can see in the picture below, the catcher didn't give our player the plate, and the Brewer was unable to slide. The catcher woke up and went to the hospital for precautionary reasons, but has been reported as fine.
The Brewers celebrate their win!
Game 13: On Wedesday, the Brewers beat the Red-Sox, 7-2. The game was even more unbalanced than the score would indicate; the Brewers scored four in the first inning, one in the third, and two in the fifth, with the Red Sox runs both coming in the fourth inning. The Brewers played good fundamental baseball, making infield plays to all bases, including a brilliant relay throw home to catch a runner in the bottom of the third for the third out.
Max played Right field for three innings, making two key plays, although on the second play, his throw home went wide. He was 0-2, striking out both times.

Go (Cu)Brewers
Glad to see his BA getting up there. Hope that the catcher is ok, and not scared to return to the field again.
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out

well, I don't know about that
all I know is that he wasn’t injured.
All the kids today pretended to be scared of the girl that hit him. It was cute.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Knocked out by a girl...ouch.
Was her name Theodora Roosevelt Lilly?
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

I may have made reference
to Molina when showing the kids the picture.

oh
he loves it. I wish he’d pay more attention to the coach; he could have had a critical bunt today, but he missed the sign. Bah.

These Post
make me smile. Having kids in little league and baseball being my favorite well anything makes me happier than any man in the world. Nothing beats your own flesh and blood out there pouring there heart out into a game you envy.
I sit at home after the Cubs lose and wanna pound sand but I know I live in a state without that kinda land. I know in my heart Sori isn't a guess hitting hack and that Dero will never be back. Pitching is King, some do say and hopefully Aaron Miles doesn't play in a Cub uniform another day. By October this I know, to the playoffs we are for sure to go. Go Cubbies!!

I almost enjoy practices
more than the actual games. In practices, I get to participate.

lol
I went to the batting cages with Max a few weeks ago, and he was in the 40mph cage. I said “here, let me show you how it’s done”. Problem is, that thing is set up for someone Max’s height. So I swung over the pitches. Every single one. o.0
