Chill ...

Happy New Year to all my friends in the Ladies' Lounge ... even our male types worm who tend to lurk.

This is a great venue for me to help realize that I am not alone as a baseball parent ... and that this IS a life that is okay to have.

Since I did my most recent bragging on the General forum, I am done for the year. But I (hopefully) will have some fun things to share starting the 30th or 31st of January.

Have a wonderful celebration tonight, Friends. And may God bless all of you abundantly in '04.

I did this with you in mind...
No mother should ever have to wonder
if it's ok to "fill us in" on an
accomplishment! smash

My husband roared out loud when I recently referred to you by your screen name down in the family room...He understood immediately my connection to you and just shook his head to know I had found another Hot S*** baseball mom...

Party well and safe, everyone...

Hello ladies,
Happy New Baseball Year to you all! Yes, I was lurking and thought I would join in. Here are my 06 and 08 accomplishments from 2003! I don't usually applaud too loudly, but what the hey!

Stanton, 08 pitched the complete 7 inning shutout championship game in a 6-0 victory over the Southern Miss Elite. He also contributed a single and double in the win. This win clinched the USSSA-AAA State Championship in Hattiesburg for the Reservoir Gators.

Steven, 06, had an outstanding freshman year of high school(5A) where he led the team in HR(4), was fourth in BA(.390), second in Slug%(.622).


Knowledge is Power! Thank you Mavens and HSBBWEB!

Thanks, Val...actually, it's mostly car-lag---but not THIS time. And although I love to travel, it does get tiresome packing, unpacking, repacking, ad infinitum...But that's just the way it's been for us with family and friends spread here and there (mostly THERE)!

Happy New Year---safe journies to you, too. And God Bless! Big Grin

Is this heaven?...

Chicks - you've got some great looking sons there - bet they've got some nice 'pop' on the ball with frames like that!

To Chill - thanks 'sis' for making me laugh and think - I look forward with you to a wonderful New Year!

PA Mom - safe travels to PHX and beyond - scope out the spring training possibilities if you can while you're there. Wouldn't it be fun to have a LL 'Road Trip'?

CatchMom - what can I say - thanks again for coming to see my son play --- TWICE! Lunch was great, too -- hic Wink

H-Mom - You're the best - in the Ladies Lounge, on the main board, and in person!!!

Big Hit15 -- NO MORE PICTURES (seriously, you're funny and smart - and not afraid to mix it up a bit, too). Happy New Year to you and your family.

ItsOutaHere- Thanks.

Calbb - thanks for your consistent positive feedback for my son. See you at the gym!

Mr. & Mrs. - Warm up, will you - that new avatar makes me shiver just looking at it -- too many memories of my years in Wisconsin and Minnesota... Wink

And, to everyone else -- again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

-----------------------------
Has spring training started yet?

Hi Chill and Ladies, Gents and Lurkers!
Happy New Year..... party

My New Years Resolution is to NOT post again until my son's committed.

Eek Eek Eek

YEAH RIGHT!!!! biglaugh

We hope to have some good news by Spring, maybe sooner, but we've all decided to lighten up and enjoy the ride. Good things will happen. But when it does....this will be the first place I'll "brag" Cool

I appreciate you all and don't know how I would have survived these last few months w/o your support. Truly!

And Blue............I'll work on that Avatar for ya K???
How's this one?

Here's another suggestion...go to the Where Are They? section and look for the parent's screen name on the right and then look over to the left side and you'll see their son's name and the college or pro team they are with. This might be a little faster since you can quickly scan for the webster's screen name first. Smile

First i would like to say I am so excited to have found this place. I am a baseball Mom heart and soul. I have two sons a high senior and an 8th grader. My oldest son is an early D-1 signee and I am very proud of him. It is just wonderful to have found a place to talk about all of this, with people who really understand. I hope I can get to know all of you better.

Welcome Baseballdownsouth greenjump
Sure hope you enjoy it here in the Ladies Lounge! It's a calming respite from some of the commotion on the main threads, with some of the nicest ladies around. Who wouldn't like other Moms who love to talk about the five best things on earth:
1. Our kids - and how cute/great/talented they are -- bragging is encouraged here!
2. Baseball
3. Coach purses
4. Our spouses, ex-spouses or sig others (and even a cute MLB player or two.. Big Grin)
5. How cute/great/talented, etc. all the other LL mom's kids are!!

P.S. Love where you're from!

Pay attention to the feedback that takes you where you want to go!

Ok Ladies,
I like to share the love, too. I want to "brag" for URKMB. Since she hasn't shared this story, I will!

Down for the Brea Christmas Classic in Southern California, a couple days before Christmas, her son's team is in the Championship game of the Elite Division. They are 4 and 0, I think.

Blue's son (Nick) had pitched on Sunday and won, this was Tuesday...Championship game, the pitcher that had been the closer during the previous games was the starter this time. He had pitched lights out but this was the bottom of the 7th and he was in a little trouble.
2 outs, runners on 1st and 3rd, with Blue's team up 2 to 1. The opposing teams fans are chirping like no tomorrow.

Nick comes in the game and strikes the batter out. Game over! What a way to finish the game and tournament. What an exciting ride home to the Bay area for Blue and Nick. You just can't ask for a better finish.

Congratulations to Nick and what a great way to start his Senior Season!!!
party

Keep the bragging coming folks. I love to hear of others successes. This is the place where we can talk about these things and everyone understands.

And Blue, I haven't taken my bracelet off!! It goes well with my Tiffany heart!

I guess this is considered a success and/or achievement...at least I am hoping it will turn into one: clap

My son was given permission to throw yesterday! He said it felt weird after his surgery in September...tight is the word he used to describe his motion. Threw at a wall and was able to hit targets from a relatively short distance.

He has been working with Chris Carpenter, who played for my brother and is now with the Cardinals. He has been through 2 surgeries and is rehabbing at Saint A's. When he first threw after the 1st shoulder procedure he said his ball went straight into the ground 2 feet in front of him...very disappointing.

We'll see how he comes along. At this point our wish is just to have him be able to cross the line, take the ball on the mound and record a few outs for his team...that would be nice.

And thanks, Catch, for filling us in on Blue's son Nick.... laola Well done!
