Christian had his first Tball practice last night and I really don't even know what to say about it, lol.  In short, it was total chaos.

The coach was a little extremely unprepared.  There was no real direction.  When it came time to batting practice, he kinda just told the kids to stand in the outfield without telling them specifically where to stand.  The boys were spastic, running around with the ball in huge groups (think beginner soccer, but with a baseball).

It reminded me of that scene in Kindergarten Cop when Arnold goes insane after the kids wear him down.



Since the Coach doesn't really know the kids yet, I don't think he felt comfortable reprimanding them.  I understand that the theme behind Tball is to have fun, but there needs to be some order as well.  And the parents who were there just let their kids run amok!  I was flabbergasted, and a little frustrated to be honest.

Last year Manny joined mid-season, right before Opening Day, so we missed all of the pre-season practice shenanigans.  John thinks it was the same way with Manny's team last year (as far as he heard from Coach Mike).  I'm not so sure.

It was obvious that the Coach needed some assistance and as soon as John arrived I told him that if there was any way he could help, he should.  So after practice John volunteered to be an Assistant Coach.  I think I'm more excited about it then he is, lol.

Oh, and they aren't the Brewers anymore.  Apparently the uniform company messed up and made Cubs shirts instead of Brewers shirts.  So now they're the Cubs!
