Just back from vacation and saw the Red Sox beat Oakland at Fenway this evening.
Waving to SweetCaroline and RedSoxGirl - hope both of you were there also.
Gary - Congrats on your shutout win over the Mets. Not sure from a quick read why your man Manny left the game early. Your guys seem to continue on a roll.
Sorry Razz...hey Bill....Manny was thrown out arguing a call I guess...my daughter came up to do the Father/Daughter Walk...missed the game...too bad so sad! Glad you are back and safe! I needed you...a one man gang is not enough around here!
At least we get one injured guy back tomorrow - Oliver Perez - probably the guy we need least of all the injured guys, but maybe he can provide a spark. He was awful earlier in the yr, an ERA almost 10, but hopefully that was due to the injury and his issues are corrected. Should be interesting.
Hey everyone! I'm out of the loop on MLB right now. I do know the Rockies won a couple against the Nationals. I would expect them to really shine, but they have only one by one run each time. A win is still a win, I guess. But sometimes it seems like they play to the level of their opponent, and no more. (what a whiner I am!!)
On to bigger baseball news: I've been spending a lot of time at the baseball fields for our little league All-Star's tourney. It's been fun, frantic, nerve-wracking, etc. My son's team won their first game 10-0 and my sweet baby boy (13 years old, but hey, still my sweet baby boy) got an out of the park home run! His first ever! He was so excited and I was just beside myself. Fun times. That was great. Last night the lost their game against a very strong team, 19-10. But, since it is double elimination, we will play again on Thursday.
Now that's what I call a great baseball memory that your family will remember forever DIANE!!...
My son and I were both baseball all-stars...neither hit a home run over the fence until later in life (although we both had inside the park ones) We did have some in our adult rec leagues.
Well RAZZwe tried to win it in the 9th...Manny leading off with thr HR...2 on and Ethier up...I was feeling groovy...dang! double play...C-Ya tomorrow!
NATION today you beat the kid, Cahill, from my town and pitched at my alma mater...so sad...wink
The little league team had their second loss, so they are out of the tournament. Disappointed son, but that's the way it goes. We'll have a little time now for summer before football starts next month! ha!
