Highest Of Highs To The Lowest of Lows.

Talked to the spousal unit tonight.

Madolyn is playing softball.  Apparently this team/league is fairly competitive.  Well, Maddie has played one year of tee-ball, then off a few years and then one year of softball, then off a couple of years and then now this.

Hard to articulate and more than I feel like typing but she "kinda" knows the game but is behind the curve (again, apparently I dunno I'm not *goshdarn* there) It seems these girls are fairly advanced and her skills aren't up to theirs.  Or more so her knowledge of the game.

Well that just pisses me off.  I should be there teaching my daughter how to play the game.      The fact that I'm not and Karen tells me she hears other parents talking about the plays Maddie is missing, getting wrong, doesn't understand......   and then 

Karen says she doesn't understand the game, and has no clue what to tell her (Is understandable.  That's what a Father is for.  Damn It!)

The positive is she seems to still have a good attitude and still wants to play.   

Just flat out pisses me off and breaks my heart.  I should be there helping/teaching my daughter.  And responding to those parents in the stands.  If she *fudge*s up, so be it.  I'm not saying I'm some super athlete or the best coach in the world, but if I was there.....I could at least teach her the game.

*fiddlesticks* this sucks.
 

Oh, I guess I should add, from what I can gather:  The problem was running from second base when she shouldn't have (must have been a fly ball that was caught.  Like I said Karen has no idea and I only get the news from her) and three balls hit to her in left field she either fielded badly or threw in poorly that cost them the lead and then the game.

So far you're dead spot on.

Finish?
