there are antelope in cimarron

Tonight at fall ball we played the Atoms, an Isotopes farm team. This little kid was so cute, and we got to chat about grasshoppers and American Idol while he played (and I coached) third base. Unfortunately for the atoms, we killed them. Only 1 month left of rookie baseball and then Zack goes to the minors and Michaela goes to softball.

Zack played great...he got 2 hits, 2 runs, 3 RBIs, and fielded like a pro in the outfield and the infield. The coach usually gives the game ball at practice after the game, but tonight he made an exception and gave it to Zack. He was beaming with pride. (So was I.)

And of course, the night ended with a beautiful sunset...a peaceful ending to a nice evening.

By the way, I didn't talk like a pirate once today. Arrgghhh.
