Thursday day off

Well today was a much needed day of rest!!! Best news of all is Travis is out and spending the night with mom and dad..he got the good news at about 5:00. We were watching the game together when they came in and told us....boy was he happy...with another day of rest, well he might just be back Saturday!!! Today we basically practiced and ate lunch with our families and then watched games....it was actually a little to chilly to swim although they tried. i Spent some time with the boys between games and it so funny watching them sign autographs, take pictures with people they don't know, and just have a blast at the ballpark..It was an awesome experience to watch...the funniest moment today was watching Lorne Chan( the Express News staff writer here) try and hit 80 mph fastballs from the machine that the boys were hitting on...the boys, Mike and I were crying we were laughing so hard!!! He finally fouled one and the boys all cheered as he ran out!! The saddest moment was watching the New York team load the bus and head home...it reminded me of they last day of summer church camp when i was a kid...i really don't look foreword to Monday when all this comes to an end...i know the real world is out there, but i am not ready for it....it is starting to sink in that the ride is almost over for the boys and I, and no matter how many tokens we have, we cant stay on it...i keep hearing how everybody back home is really supporting us...for that we are very thankful. We have a big(no pun intended) rematch Saturday...i promise the boys will play their hearts out for San Antonio...We are also thankful for all the prayers...we can really,really feel and see the results of them....life is good!!!...good night....coach lee

  2. I love the double plays, the chest bumps, the upside-down sunglasses on the caps, the smiles, the grit and determination, the cowboy hats, the dances, the cheers, the signs, the hits, the wins. . . .and the life-long memories. Go get 'em!

  3. Glad to hear that Travis is better. I am continuing to pray for everyone's health. I know that you guys will play your best. I have no doubt that you can win the US Championship. Regardless of the outcome, you are winners. You won me over (after the Regional Championship game) because I usually cheer for the team representing Mexico, but not this year. I'm sticking with my fellow Texans. Keep having fun! God Bless.
