Now I’m Back (I mean it this time)

Ok, so maybe I lied and I wasn’t back. But now I am. It’s not that my tailbone was still bothering me so much that I couldn’t sit, but, well, you get out the habit of doing something and it gets hard to get back into the habit. Turns out that’s super true about blogs. … Continue reading Now I’m Back (I mean it this time) →

NLCS Game 5

That was obviously more like it. But I’ll admit it: like just about anyone else watching the game last night, seeing Freeman get that homer and the having Kelly (who’s been great all season) go down worried the fuck outta me. I just didn’t have the feeling that we could do it the way we … Continue reading NLCS Game 5 →

NLCS Game 4

Ok, so yesterday I told Jacob that you should never leave a baseball game before it was over. After all, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over” was first said by a ballplayer, and Tuesday’s game proved the saying. And then last night happened. Both me and Jacob were ready to turn the TV off before … Continue reading NLCS Game 4 →

NLCS Game 3

That felt like the longest 4 hours and 14 minutes of my life. Especially the 3½ hours in the middle where the Dodgers were dead in the water and couldn’t get a run in to save their souls. There was that great Lux double play in the top of the 1st, then it got eerily … Continue reading NLCS Game 3 →

The Braves Walk Off. Twice.

What do the Dodgers think they’re doing – besides trying to lose the NLCS? Losing Saturday’s game was okay, I reckon. If you’re gonna lose a game in a series, the first one is the best one to lose, although that gives the other team the momentum coming into the second game, which then becomes … Continue reading The Braves Walk Off. Twice. →

A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys

The boys were only in their second week of school when Robert surprised me by saying that I was gonna get to take the boys to Dodger Stadium on the night of September 1…Robert somehow knew that it was Corey Seager’s bobblehead night, and also somehow knew that I really like Seager as a player, … Continue reading A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys →

A Day in the Park (last part)

I took the boys on Saturday to watch me and Lucas play ball with Chuy’s team, Los Cervezeros…and have a day out in the park. Meanwhile, the kids got a soccer game going; Jacob joined in, and took a bad slip and fall in the grass that dislocated his shoulder. Lucky for everyone, one of … Continue reading A Day in the Park (last part) →

A Day in the Park (part 2)

While me and Lucas were playing baseball with Chuy's team last Saturday afternoon, since there was a bunch of Mexican kids hanging out in the park, a soccer game developed. It was an all-ages kinda game: there were a few kids Jacob’s age and Eric was playing as well as Abelito. I was involved in … Continue reading A Day in the Park (part 2) →

A Day in the Park (part 1)

We celebrated the reopening of the state by having a day in the park, me, Lucas and the boys. It wasn’t just any day in the park, though…me and Lucas were also playing Lucas’ first game with Chuy’s team, Los Cervezeros. The team’s 2nd baseman moved away to Texas, since he couldn’t stand the lockdowns … Continue reading A Day in the Park (part 1) →

Baseball Pupils Update

It’s been a while since I told you anything about my other pupils. Well…my other pupil. I stopped working with Noah a few months ago. His heart just wasn’t in it, and there’s no sense in spending money on a baseball tutor for your kid when your kid doesn’t care that much about playing ball. … Continue reading Baseball Pupils Update →
