Muckdogs lose

It started out to be a crushing defeat for the Muckdogs, but then they started getting hits. Mr. Boy got two, a single and double, but only came in once. Got stranded on the single. And so it went, and they lost 17 to 12. They are now 1-1 for the season, with another game Saturday. One player got so mad when he struck out that he threw a tantrum. Practicing for the pros, I expect. My favorite moment was when the coach on the other team came out to help tie one of his batter’s shoes.

The Muckdogs

Mr. B. got his baseball team assignment via email this morning: the Muckdogs. Strange name. A farm club in upstate New York for the St. Louis Cardinals, actually. So why for Little League in Texas? Beats me. Worse thing is he/we don’t know any of the other boys on the team. But he’s happy."I always wanted to be a Muckdog," he said. "They’re the best." Just shows how much I know.
