Halloween Eve

No time for baseball today. The Red Sox and Phillies could have traded Chase Utley for Dustin Pedroia and I wouldn't know it.

We bought a car to replace the wrecked one, then took Trent to a costume contest at a mall. His penguin duds got him to the finals, but he didn't win. It was a crock only in that a bunch of generic store-bought costumes were selected over Trent's, which was handcrafted by Grandmom.

Even though the mall is in the area where loyalties between New York and Philadelphia begin to blur, I was surprised we didn't see any Phillies costumes. We saw a couple of Yankees - Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes. That was an odd pairing.
