Proud Pop

It is always wonderful to have others see the same things that we see in our children?

Even more wonderful when they publish those praises.

Heck Coach, this is the place to be proud. What yr is your boy in. If you can't brag in the privacy of your own cyber space, then where?
Sounds like you've done a nice job with him. Good luck the rest of the way.

Coach he is a soph 16yrs old. I know what your saying but I am always hesitant to say alot and probaly always will be. But I am very proud of him and all our players.

That is great! I am often surpised at the fact that even though I don't know them, I am very, very proud of their accomplishments!
Coach, you have every reason to be proud. Thank you for sharing it.

Its kind of funny but I caught myself trying to find out when DK TPM's son was going to pitch so I could check out the box on their website. I even caught the game on TV last year when he pitched so well in the ACC tourney and I think it was also in the regionals. I follow all the kids of fellow posters like they were my own players. We also have Prepsters son Robert Woodard with UNC. 1st team All ACC last year. Man what a player. What a young man. Its just alot of fun for me. There are several more and it is growing everyday. Thanks for the kind words as well.

Coach May if you want to get him out of that slump, send him to us. We could use him and maybe you'd love the good ole Prairie State.

Congrats on a great start and the great games/season to come.

Coach May ...

Read the report and saw the pic awhile back on Impact ...

Geez, that's a good looking youngen !!!! (and he can play ball too !!!!)

HHH:

There appears to be a wildcat stalking you...are you aware?

Last year we started an "Okay to Brag" Thread just so there was a place where people could share the cool things happening with their kids without feeling weird about it (well, less weird, anyway)....should we start it up again???

Yeah ... I'm wearing my "see-behind, Jethro Bodine, Double-naught spy glasses .."

I'll be careful.

Krak....think it might be a good idea to start it up again.....

As you please, M'Lady............

Coach May,

Sorry to disagree, but as a pitcher's mom, I DO NOT LIKE your son's performance so far this year at all!!!

Just think about the effect he is having on some poor pitchers' moms there in NC!!! I'm sure that if you explain it to him from this perspective, he will mend his ways - and try to hold it down to ONE homerun per game!

Kidding of course, we are all proud of Jeff! Best wishes to him this season!

Thank you Krak....and if you could do me one more favor please....when JT posts to us Westcoasters, and Wood follows it up with a new composition....could you just interpret for me? I'm a mile from the ocean....and all I could think of when I read JT's post this morning was tsunami.....was headed for the hills until I got his clarification....Thank you again.....

Those glasses...do they still have pumkin on them?

Folks thank you so much for your kind words. Its great to have a wonderfull baseball family to share things with, I really mean that. Well you wont believe what happened tonight. We played and Jeff hit a two run HR in his first ab. A two run HR in his second ab and BB in third ab and a single on fourth ab to right. Counting a HR in his last ab three games ago he has 5 HR's in his last 8 official abs and he is 9 for his last 10 over three games. Its getting ridiculous really. There is no way he can keep going at this pace. It seems that everytime he gets a pitch to hit he hammers it. Curveballs Change ups it doesn't matter. Again thanks for the praise and thanks for sharing this moment with me. He now through 10 games has 6 hr's and is hitting a ridiculous .628 with 19 rbi's. Its crazy. He's always been a hitter and always had power but come on. One tonight was out of cf which is 385' at our place and it was at least 50' out of the park if not more. Again thanks for letting me share this with all of you.

MNMOM,
If you are reading this how about starting a new thread called "game central" where folks can come on and post about son's games (or their own), articles, etc. I am finding it really hard to keep up this year with so many players and hard to keep up with teh HS players.

Coach May,
Thanks for filling us in on your son and thanks for trying to keep tabs on DK.

HHH3,
I had to read over your post a few times to realize it was yours! LOL

Coach, it doesn't get much better than that!! The boy is on a tear! Great start to what promises to be a great season!!

Thanks Krak. I just read your post on your son , wow! Sounds like you got some player on your hands. Good luck this year and keep us posted on his season.

TPM I think thats a great idea. Im having a heck of a time keeping up with all the players. Itsinthegame has two sons that are really good. And there are a ton more including your son. I would really like to be able to keep up with them. Im sure alot of us will cross paths this summer at East Cobb and other venues as well. Great Idea. By the way I mention DK in my prayers still today after you told us about his shoulder. I hope that he is doing fine and has a great season.

Coach May,
You have every right to be proud. I don't care what level you are playing, he is tearing it up. I hope his run continues all year and his numbers just get better and better.

Sent you a PM earlier today.
Congrats to you and your son and good luck.

Thanks Kevin11 I sent you a pm back I hope you got it. I hope you guys got the win tonight and your son pitched great.

Coach May,
Have passed on to Julie my idea.
DK is fine, off to a slow start but feeling fine. He is just coming off off of a restricted pitch count. Every game he has pitched in so far has been a win for the team (he has one decision), so when he gets in there he feels he is contributing.
And I agree with Julie, your son is every pitcher's moms NIGHTMARE!

Coach May,

Those are awesome numbers.

Perhaps your son's opponents may want to think about walking him a bit more often. LOL

Great job !!! - and hope to see you soon.

Regards

Congrats Coach May , you and your son keep up the good work!

Having a hard time keeping up with this (and other) sites these days. Therefore, I'm sorry for the delay in thanking you, Kenny, for the kind words...and sending congratulations back Jeff's way!! All the best to him and the rest of the team this season! Hope to see you on the sidelines soon.
