Sports

Well, I'm on a roll today. Three posts!!!!

I have to add that the week-old news that we're having a boy this fall is setting in. I have to really wrap my thinking around this. To prove a point, Jennifer spent an hour showing me various websites with crib bedding for boys. This is too complicated. But it's important for Jen. I think that cars theme won out.

I'm usually a casual fan of college baseball during the College World Series. But the past three years the Oregon State Beavers have made it to this final 8-team tournament. Last year, they won the national championship! Today, the Beavers have a chance to get back into the national championship series this weekend. They play UC-Irvine (a first-time participant). Go Beavers!

I was listening to a local sports talk-radio show a couple days ago. The host mentioned something about a "6-4-3 double play". Baseball fans understand the meaning of that phrase. However, a caller (adult, male, sports fan) asked what "6-4-3" meant? The host was gracious enough to explain it on the air. I was embarrassed for the guy. I promise that my son will know what a "6-4-3 double play" means and not go through life ignorant.
