Slammed

The BRS Last Night Showing Off 2 Emerging Teeth

I took it as a very good sign last night when we were talking with the FBR that she couldn’t focus because she as too intent on watching the Red Sox playoff game in the background. I worry with her growing up so close to the heart of the Evil Empire and not far from the Meadowlands complex that she would be influenced away from her familial ties to the Red Sox, Patriots, etc. etc. If last night was any indication blood will always run true.

Bradley Connects!

This Red Sox team distinguished itself from its underperforming predecessors by taking it to the smarmy Astros last night. A tight game was turned on its head when Jackie Bradley absolutely smoked a grand slam in the late innings. This was cause for celebration in the constricted Man Cave. It was also heartwarming to see the family light up the text messaging on the address we usually share baby pictures on to celebrate the grand slam. In a completely unsurprising move Soxfather is counting the number of outs left until a Sox championship.

On the Move Under the Watchful Abuela Eye

We caught up with my Favorite Son and the BRS around the start of the game. The BRS is back into full mobility mode and was tearing up the track around the first floor. She had just returned from her first day back in Daycare and was kept her father moving as he tried to keep up with her. The accompanying photos were taken by her abuela as the FaceTime screen jogged to keep up with the BRS.
