Possible good luck charm

Trent was a little fussy tonight as we tried to watch the end of the Phillies game. We finally caved and brought him downstairs for a bottle a little earlier than we planned.

"If this is just a ploy to watch the Phillies, there's nothing to see," I said as the Phillies trailed the Reds 7-1 in the 9th.

Of course, the Phightins' scored six runs in the 9th as Trent gulped down his formula. A short while later, we were upstairs changing his diaper when we heard some cheering. We missed Ryan Howard's two-run home run in the 10th.

Trent's been with us for two nights, and the Phillies have two extra-inning wins. The Red Sox are also undefeated since our family grew to three. Red Sox 14, Blue Jays 3.

I know three games is an extremely small sample size, but if this is the year of the SoxandPhils World Series, we won't credit Roy Halladay or Jon Lester or Kevin Youkilis or Ryan Howard, but a little guy who likes to eat, poop and sleep, though not much of the latter so far tonight.
