the marshalls

sam is getting his braces off in three weeks!  we found that out this morning and the ladies are going to love his beautiful new smile.  we were lucky to have another weekday with craig around!  sam and isaac went golfing again, so craig and i went to lunch at my favorite place: salt city burger co.  i always  have a burger, medium, with avacados, carmelized onions and bleu cheese.  nothing better.  oh, and craig ran into the gateway for me and got my iPad replaced for free.

isaac had his third game tonight.  we played the marshalls.  we hate the marshalls.  their coaches act like they are above the law.  maybe they think they are the law because of their name: "marshalls".  we knew it would be a tough game.  i loved it when isaac got up to bat.  people were cheering loudly for him and calling him every one of his nicknames, so while i was watching in the bleachers, i heard shouts of:

"go icky"
"let's go, isaac"
"c'mon ick"
"go, big papi"
"let's go pop!"

loved it.

we were ahead the entire game until the bottom of the last inning when we suddently couldn't throw strikes.  i thought we were going to be okay when we were still ahead by one with two outs and two strikes on the batter, but he hit the ball off his foot, the umpire refused to call a dead ball (remember, the marshalls are above the law), the batter went to first, a run scored, we were tied and then we lost when we walked the next batter with the bases loaded. 

our fans were pretty ticked and it was a bit of a mob scene.  one marshalls parents even though it called their players something really nasty, which i did not, but there was chaos and i was just glad to get out of there. 

really hard game to lose.

sam won.  again.  pitched like a mad man.
