I love you SBmom19. I used to carry a bunch of stuff, too. Now, I carry an ice pack and medical tape. If I can't fix it with that, it is time to see SBmom.

Once my DD forgot her cleats. A neighbor said "I think that I have a pair of 6 1/2s in the van." She dug around for awhile and sure enough, she did!

HA! I know carry extra cleats too - half way to a tournament and my DD realized we didn't have hers. It was a rough day playing catcher in the wal-mart soccer cleats. Learned her good. They stay in the car, just in case! :rolleyes:

My DW is the sort of softball mom the kids like to keep AWAY from the game. Although, she did behave herself a bit last week, when she went to a couple of rec league games. DD got HRs in both games, and her team won both games.

Some of the texts I got during the games. In one game DW criticized DD's pitching. Not enough curl balls. Not sure what a curl ball is, but DD would've been much more effective had she been throwing good curl balls.

If the team is losing a close game, it is ALWAYS blue's fault. ALWAYS. It can be really hard to calm down DW when the game is stolen from her DD's teams because of bad calls by blue. Esp. if the PU can't even recognize a good curl.

Enough of whether rise balls really rise. We all know curl balls curl.

If your curl balls are too curly then you need a straightening iron.

By the time that DD needs a new pair of cleats her old ones are trashed and smell bad enough to kill a half grown steer so there is no way that I would keep them in the car as a back-up. Luckily (knocking on wood) she has never forgotten her cleats so it hasn't been an issue...

My DW once got into it with a parent on another (rather nasty) travel team who was complaining that our pitcher, aka our DD, was throwing 'too hard' and it was 'unfair'.

My wife told her that it "Wouldn't be a problem if you had DNA'd your kid some talent"

What # does that make her?

In fairness my DW has got a lot better (she really didn't play sports as a kid), but you still have to keep a close eye on her or she will go rogue.
