Waking to the pounding beach waves of Doheny Beach while camping in the traveling condo was a make your day moment. Water is 3 shades of green (think azure).

And keep thinking "azure" (Or "The Azzurri") tomorrow night for the soccer.
"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Thanks guys! I have been in awe of him this season. In prior seasons, he would have occasional games where he would be lights out, and other games where he couldn't throw a strike to save his life. But this season he has been incredible. I think he only gave up 3 or 4 walks all season, and the few hits he gave up could have been outs if not for fielding errors (they are 11 year olds, after all). His WHIP had to have been pretty incredible - he's been Verlander-esque all year. In fact, twice this year he's struck out the side with 16 pitches (I'm out of town right now, but I'll post a video when I have the chance, cuz it's f@ckin SWEET! :-)
Gonz, thx for your input. To be honest, I was really freaked out when I first saw the photo, but after googling "pitching mechanics" and looking at photos and videos I relaxed a little bit. This is just rec league ball, so he has different coaches each season, so I don't know that any of them would have had enough time to even notice his mechanics. But I did send the photo to his current coach (who rocks, btw) to see if he has any concerns.
I don't know if he will be good enough to play for his school teams - we live in an incredibly competitive community, and he is a streaky hitter and a mediocre fielder, which might not be good enough to make it to the middle school "show" around here, but that's ok. I just love to watch him, and I love that he has developed a passion for baseball. That's MY boy! :-)

Do not discount his ability. Only be advised that rejections in sport are the best motivation to make the athlete perform better.
I have two athletes that were continually told they were not good enough that eventually made their HS teams and one won a team MVP and the other was elected to the All Area first team.
......both are incredible achievements.
I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.
Oh I hear ya, Marko! Those ARE impressive achievements - congrats Papa!
Considering how much he improved from last year to this year, it is possible that he will continue to get better, and I can't help but think all of that TKD he has been doing is playing a part (focus, confidence, strength, etc), and by fall ball he will be a black belt, so you never know. But this bizarre place that we live makes it very difficult for late bloomers, so I need to make sure that he is mentally prepared for the possibility that he isn't going to make the team whenever that day comes. And I agree that rejection can often be a wonderful motivator, he's just a very gentle, sensitive soul, so I worry about these things - that is what mamas do. ;-)
And a couple of random avatar comments: islair, I JUST NOW noticed the fish in your avatar. All this time I thought the chick in your photo was holding a rifle. LOFL!
And Wings fan, you always have the hottest avatars! Who is that?!?!?! At first I thought it was George Harrison, but now I don't think so. Whoever it is...YUM! Post more often please! ;-)
