playoff game #2

they did it. wow cubs, that was amazing.
sorry no pictures though, todd was busy tonight and didn't make it until the fourth inning. and i don't have a "press pass" like he does ....okay, just a joke. but i am not a good enough photographer to catch THE moments, like when xander hit a solid double, or when he cleanly scooped up a ground ball to third base, took his one hop and threw it directly to the first baseman. it was amazing. another one of those moments that left us reeling...holy cow! did he really just do that?
one of the other parents commented that there wasn't an inning that xander didn't touch the ball. good or bad? good! i asked the coaches, cause i didn't want him "stealing" the ball away from another player. "are you kidding?" they asked. they love that he is so aggressive and wouldn't dream of discouraging that!
it's been a crazy day. it took a lot of juggling scheduling, rides, work, car seats - but we did it, and xander did it. wowzers... we'll be back at the field tomorrow night. cubs vs. brewers
