The Good
1.) For those of you who don't know, I started pitching the middle of last year because it looked cool and I told coach I figured it out by myself and then two games later I started against Perry (Rivals). Scary Scary stuff. Well, this year I can actually throw a strike consistently! It is a miracle... at least to my father.
2.) My team is made up of the funniest people in the world. We pull so much crap behing coach Pearson's back it is amazing. For instance, today me, Pam and Nicky went to do our pitching warm-up drill thingy and then Ebony and Liz snuck out of hitting and came over and pretty much messed around with my wieghted ball and "striper strap" (as Liz so appropriatly named it) while Pearson was right next to us. I am sooo surprised he didn't make us all do laps. Haley and Leah also like to break out into song so that everyone on all three teams can hear and then the entire team joins in. It is so beautifully harmonized....until Pearson says his famous line "Ladies! Lets focus!!"
The Bad
1.) Shelby Wilson, my catcher, quit after Mr. Pearson was a total jerk. She refuses to come back and play for him. :( Very sad.
2.) Mr. Pearson has got to be the weirdest person ever. He freakin threw the ball right at my leg the other day and I told him I was going to sue him for personal damage and he just laughed because he broke a baseball kids nose. And then yesterday I was at the mound and I wasn't ready and of course he thought it would be funny to hit a grounder to me and then I missed it and Alex got it and he said "It's alright the only thing pitchers can do is pitch, let the real athletes get the ball." I was so mad! I took off my glove and threw it at him because I definatly play 2nd base and I played soccer for 8 years!! So then he hit the ball as hard as he could and it skimed my face. Im pretty sure I stopped breathing. And then I said, "What the crap Pearson!!! That almost hit me in the face!!! I'm your only Pitcher!!! , the only response he told me is "This is the life you choose, Katie. Deal with it" I really would like to not die. :( I seriously only hear those two things from him while he's hitting off me. "Ur not an athlete anyway" and "This is the life you choose"
The Ugly
