Thursday

At practice last night I was asked more than once did we forfeit our game that was supposed to be played on Monday?

No we did not. I told you a little about it on yesterdays post but I will give you more details.

Coach Short from the Rustlers ask up to postpone our game Monday until Wednesday. We told him no, we had children that go to church, but we could do it Tuesday or Thursday. He has a game with the Darlins on Thursday so he needed to play it on Tuesday.

That was fine. I called everyone and told them we would play Tuesday at 6:00. Except Leigh Annes mom, I think I told her 7:00. Anyway Tuesday morning the Darlins coach called me and told me she had gotten an email from him. What time were we playing. In the meantime I called Andy, the girls director, to see what time we were playing. He said we weren't playing. Coach Short hadn't called him to schedule umpires and they had to be scheduled thru him because the umps are in a contract. So I call Rob and Michelle and tell them we aren't playing. Now I call everyone and say we are not playing. While all this is happening Rob calls Andy again and ask him will it be a forfeit and Andy says absolutely not.

Then Coach Short finally called Rob at about 4:30 and says we can play. Rob calls me and I said NO! I cannot call everyone and tell them to be at the ball field in an hour because he can't get his act together. (Those weren't the exact words I used but you get the idea).

So then my family and some friends are having dinner at the mexican restuarant and Michelle Fowler calls and says the Rustlers showed up with umpires, went onto the field and they called the game a forfeit. You lost!

I immediately called Rob on his cell phone and can't get him. I call him on the house phone and leave a message. He calls me back and since I am in Perry already I went straight to the ball field, found Andy and said what is going on. He didn't know anything about it. He didn't schedule the umps so no it was not a loss and we did not forfeit!

Our record is still whatever we won and only one loss! Let that sneaky man think he won a game if he wants to. It doesn't matter at this point. Plus it is pretty sad to think they can only win if we don't show up!

The other funny thing, to me is, James Brian also plays against his sons team who is also sponsored by Wayne Morris Ford. I bet he never buys a car from us!

Can you believe someone told me I didn't have a life! (You know who you are!)

See you tomorrow!
