Soooo much to write about with just my softball tournament alone, but I'll try to whittle down the details.
First, the top two teams would qualify for the World Series in Disney (the one we played in last year). Second, there were about 40 teams signed up. Third, the tournament was held in Joliet, about an hour south of me without traffic. Finally, the weather was in the upper 40's and super windy. Not very pleasant to play in.
Well, we were down a few players and played like crap in our first game, so we lost pretty badly. Later in the day we won three games and "won" the right to come back and play at 9 Sunday morning when it was supposed to be colder and rainy. I left Saturday morning at 8:30 and didn't get back home until 10:00 p.m. That's a long freaking day. After only about five hours of good sleep, I was back up and heading to the fields again for a nine a.m. game. Ugh. We lost 7-3 unfortunately after being tied 3-3 in the fifth. We just didn't hit well. We were probably a bit tired.
The other big event this weekend was the NFL draft. A month ago, the General Manager of the Bears, Jerry Angelo, said he was going to focus on good character players in the draft. His definition of "good character" apparently includes: one arrest for possession of ecstasy for one player and two assault convictions for another. Nice character Jerry.....if you're drafting for the Mafia.

Why not just get a hotel room in Joliet?
I certainly could have Stef and some people thought about it. But we didn't know we were going to be playing on Sunday until about 9 or so and by the time we figured out where we could stay, checked in and such, we probably would have been 3/4ths of the way home anyway. And I'm not sure I like the sound of a hotel in Joliet!! ewww. :-)
