In Search of The perfect Bat....

that is what we did for a few hours yesterday.Jake , Sam and I went to several stores, in search of the perfect baseball bat for Jake. He is getting a new bat for his 13th birthday on the 27th of this month. Now most of you who read this probably do not know how much these things can cost, I know I certainly had no clue how much they were till my boys were in search for them. Alec once got a great deal on a bat, a used one from his friend for $50.00, and it WAS a great deal, new this bat retailed over $200.00. So we looked at bats ranging in price of $149.99 to $329.99, yes, you read that right. Jake thought he found his bat when he left Score sports.. it was $204.00 and perfect for him... then we went to GI Joes, found another one that would be perfect for $149.99... and he thought it would be great cause he would have money left over and could buy some new gear. ( I am not sure what else he needs, we did leave GI JOES with a new cool batting helmet) . As we were driving home we talked about checking online at a great place I know of, bats are always on sale there..... So he did, and wouldnt you know it, there was the perfect bat , at the low low price of $219.99.... this was a bargain you see, regular cost $320.00. And THIS bat, is the BAT of the year he says..... THE YEAR..... lets hope he uses it for more than a year.

Batting cages went well, only Jake batted, Brett did not go with us, and Sam was too little. ( he hates that hes too little) Jake also had practice later in the day. I also got my nails done. Last night was my night at home, we hung out , had dinner and watched LOST... then Alec came home and we talked about his day, also mentioned to him how the red sox lost big, and everytime I turned it on, they would do something bad.. I left to get Jake, and they scored a run, I came home, and Manny hit into an inning ending double play, Or Wells gave up another homer.. I just turned it off for good and said I am bad luck today.
