tournament... and maxwell tour

man... the tournament was wild to say the least. the tournament was supposed to last all day(and night) with our first game starting at 1pm and the championship game starting at 11pm. we won our first game 11-1... blasted them, the whole team was looking good and everything. second game was going a good game, we got off to a bad start but were making out comeback really fast, i hit in the tying run as we were on our comeback, but rob, one of our best players(the rbi) was tripped by the catcher and he ended up busting his head on the fence post(6 staples required... more on that later). the team that we were playing was undefeated and just happened to be sponsering the whole thing... provided the umps and all. they knew we were on the comeback and we're probably gonna win, but with rob cutting his head, they had an opening, nobody was focused and since the games were timed, we had to keep playing. they wanted to send rob to the hospital b/c they knew if he kept playing we would beat them and soil their undefeated season. nevertheless... we lost the game. since its a double elemination tournament, we could have still won the whole thing... we would have just had to beat the team twice in the end.

anyways, our coach is an older guy and he was playing with us. the next game we were supposed to win easliy, but he wouldnt let rob play, even though he was taped up and feelign great and wanted to play. so he took him off the official roster without telling anyone, so when the game started, rob was not allowed to play. i thought that was a bitch move, but anyways, the thing that got everyone hot is that he put him back on with 5 mins left in the game(pointless at that time)... if he wasnt going to let him play, then not let him play at all, not once you know we wont be able to put a gap on the scoreboard. if you really wanted him not playing, he would have kept him otu the entire game, standing behind his word. not throw the game by keeping him out for that long, then once its over, be the first person out of the park and the parking lot. and then not show up for church the next day... o well.
