I hate being stuck at work on a day like today!
Alex, my son, has been playing both 1st base and right field most of the year. Other than the aforementioned practice game he only got to pitch a couple of half innings this year....both times with limited success.
Today, the top two pitchers couldn't make the game so the coach decided to let Alex actually start on the mound.
My wife just called and so far Alex has struck out, after two innings, 5 batters. He has allowed no walks and one hit
Why can't I be there
