When we found out about Trent, we knew we had to give away the Phillies tickets we had for the first weekend he was home.We planned on making our next game, however, and even toyed with the idea of taking him with us when we found out it was Cole Hamels' lunch bag giveaway day for all kids 14 and under.
Responsible heads prevailed, and we decided it would be our first extended time away from Trent. We spent weeks joking about how our luck of hitting rainy days at the park would probably continue.
Above is a picture of weather conditions when the game started; below is what it looked like during the 1 hour and 45 minute rain delay we sat through. I was even able to get in a nap.
Meanwhile, Roy Oswalt pitched a gem, and the Phillies beat the Nationals 6-0. We'll have our SoxandPhils recap of the rainy day at the park tomorrow - providing I get a chance to write, as Christine has to go back to work and Daddy Daycare opens for business.The Red Sox also managed a shutout, 5-0 over the Blue Jays, despite rain in Boston. Clay Bucchholz lowered his league-leading ERA.

I listened to the game on the radio today. Too bad you had to sit through that rain delay. But any game is worth going to in my opinion.
By the way, what are the records of the Phils and Sox since Trent was born?
Yes, it was nice to be back at the park, even if meant another episode of sitting in the stands waiting for rain to end.
I hadn't done Trent's birthdate because it was right before the best stretch for the Red Sox and worst for the Phillies.
But you got me curious, so I looked it up - Bos - 38-29; Phi 40-28. The Phillies have been slightly better, but it's close enough for me.
Winning records! Sounds like good luck to me.
