What's on your mind?

Yup. UCSB could use her.
Ladies, if a man tells you he will fix it, he will fix it. There is no reason to remind him about it every six months.

What is it called if you 'verbal' before you can speak ?

You guys remember when our kids were this age? Seems like another world - it was another world for me. I remember people stopping by watching our practices and saying things like 'wow - working toward playing in college?' and my thought was 'are you kidding me'. At that age, I just thought how great it would be to win a rec league 10u championship or for her to make all stars or something , and maybe, someday, my kids could play ball in high school.

I remember one season, i think munchkin (DD2) was 8 , the others on that team were 9 and 10 and we had won 5 or 6 games straight at the local rec league and thought we were pretty hot stuff. A travel team from the city challenged us to a game - I never knew girls grew that big as those city kids were. First base was a kid we called 'Refrigerator', she wasnt fat, she was just big. We lost 1-0 which killed the girls but I was thinking 'thank you Lord, that nobody got hurt out there'. It taught us that we needed to start looking around and that there was something beyond rec league.

This was back when the kids pitched at 35 feet - and if you had a kid who threw hard, you were good for pitching - then it goes to 40 feet, and the kids get more time to see the ball - and now at 43 feet - even more time. Makes the game a lot more fun - even if you are a pitcher's dad. Still see the 1-0 games now - but there were high school games around here that had two good pitchers - and they would go 15 18 , the most I saw was 22 innings of 0-0.

I remember well, but judging by the OP and doing the math ... I think someone is pulling our leg ...

The newbies get excited and type before thinking. Not eveyone is as reasonable and clear-minded as the G-man and the D-man. !!!!!!! Well, at least early in the day.
