Freshmen nite at The Reck-- Myers and Otto combined for 1 hit and 13 Ks over 7.1 innings, and Gray with the game-winning bomb. All is good again...for one night anyway.

A couple of what seemed like baserunning mistakes were on hit and runs. The one where we were doubled up and another we should have but the SS didn't get the slicing, hard hit liner.

I forgot to mention that Myers works quickly on the mound. I really like that.

Bidding war with Baylor? Still wearing after St. Patrick's...

I think the operative word in the OP was "boy". In the case of mine, it's taken several years of hard work, but two out of three days, my boy wears matching socks, setting aside whether or not they are appropriate for the given occasion.

Our group seems to notice unimportant things like green socks. He looked like he was having fun and always seemed hustling in everything he did.

I have a fine-tuned eye for such things. I used to catch my son out of the corner of my eye and tell him his shirt was on backwards without even really looking at him, and he'd get flustered and say "how can you tell so quickly". That, and noticing that little kids put their shoes on the wrong feet about 90% of the time are how I fill the rest of my free time.

The shoes thing is one of my favorite pastimes too.

One of my goals in retirement later in life is to become a fashion designer long enough to design kids shoes where the left shoe looks like it should be a right shoe and vice versa. I could make a small fortune.

I was about to say "They're called slippers," but then realized that there are slippers that are built for specific feet. But my kids slippers are always uni-foot (foot-agnostic?).
