We took Trent to a local baby parade today. Because it wasn't a pure cute baby contest and relied more on the ingenuity and creativity of the babies' parents in crafting floats and such, Tackle Box Trent did not come home with a prize.
It's OK. It was his first lesson that winning isn't everything. He didn't seem bothered by it.
Later in the day, when Carlos Ruiz failed to get a big hit in the 9th inning with the Phillies trailing the Mets 4-3 with two outs and a man on third, Trent took it much better than his mother.
Red Sox: Not that they matter ... actually, they do matter. We shouldn't stop caring about them just because they're not going to win this year. Well, tonight they're actually winning, 1-0 over the A's in the 6th.
Mike Lowell, a winner of a person, announced his retirement. It was an awkward year, but I am glad he got to play regularly at the end and wish him well.

About this blog
Greg was born into a Yankee home and became a Red Sox fan in the 1980s. Now he's married to Christine, a die-hard Phillies fan {who will chime in here from time to time in red}. They have a young son, Trent, who hasn't professed an allegiance yet.

I'm sure he was cute nonetheless.
I'm sitting there watching the game with my wife. Cholly intentionally loads the bases to bring in.....drum roll.....JC Romero.....who EVERYONE knows has trouble throwing strikes. I turn to her and say this. She responds with "why does he keep doing this". I say, "because that's what he does". Sure enough with the bases loaded, ball 1, ball 2 ball 3. Then a two run single up the middle. And that my friends, was the difference in the ballgame, as the Phils came back with 3 runs. Yep, Cholly is a managing genius.
I've said this 10 million times, and will keep saying it.....the Phils win DESPITE Manuel, not BECAUSE of him.
