    Have you ever noticed that controversy just seems to 
follow some people around? Tonight that controversy surrounded the opposing 
coach (who we have had issues with for a couple of years now). A close play at 
second base involving one of their runners being called out resulted in an 
argument with our coach, a call to the league commissioner (for a coach-pitch 
baseball league with no umpires, for cripes sake!), and later blaming the 
argument on another parent. To top it all off, one of the parents of a child on 
her team was arguing with her during the game. Fun, fun, fun. 
    Sam had a fairly decent night tonight. She had a couple of 
singles to start with, but struck out in her last at-bat. She didn't really see 
much action in the way of fielding tonight - she had to back up first base and 
stopped a couple of balls that got by there, but that was pretty much it. 
Despite the score not showing it, the whole team actually seemed like they 
played better today. We gave up some big hits (the other team had 3 or 4 doubles 
today, we have a total of 2 - for the entire season), which didn't help our 
cause, but the rest of the game was well played. Unfortunately, it didn't result 
in a "W", as the final score showed a 13-10 loss for us.
