Collins' 6 yr old season.

Well, it's playoff time again!!

The 6 yr old Hobgood Braves finished in 2nd place.   They were #1 almost all year, but they lost the penultimate game of the regular season, which was against the #2 Mets. The game was rained out 2 times, and was finally played during the week last week when Collins was out sick.  Obviously, Collins is the straw that stirs the drink.

Now, it's playoff time. 

The Braves get a 1st round bye.

In the 2nd round, they'll play against the winner of the Rockies/Phillies game being played this week.
If they win that, they'll play the 3rd round game on Sunday...quite possibly against his old coaches and the Giants.

Win that, and the championship game is on Monday.   I gotta tell you, I'm sick to my stomach nervous already.

After that game, the season is over and we will direct focus onto the All Star team.  It will be good for us parents, since we've gone into baseball withdrawals after each of the last 2 seasons have ended.

The season next fall will have to move up to the softball fields, because Hobgood is renovating the baseball fields.  Spring 2014, we'll be back at the baseball fields, on the 7 yr old field this time.

I gotta tell you, it's going to be sad saying goodbye to the 6 yr old field.  I know I can turn anything sad, but it's hard not to get nostalgic when you are having so much fun with like minded people, and your kids are growing up.

Collins' teams have an all time record of 33-6-1.  He missed 2 games due to illness, one was a win 2 seasons ago against the Yankees, and then the loss last week against the Mets. 

He finished 3rd in his first season, and 2nd last season....and now the playoffs this season.  Can they finish strong and become champions???

We will see...
