Red Sox

I don't watch regular-season baseball, but I keep one eye on post-season play if the Red Sox are involved. Maybe not this year, though. What an unlikeable group.

You know who's even more unlikeable? The team with the worst record in baseball.

Watching this Phllies team is painful, even when they win.

My kid is playing fall ball instead of soccer. That's all I got.

Yes, local vernacular: fall ball = the fall baseball season.

Back in the day, fall was reserved for Pop Warner football, we wanted to get an early start on our brain damage.

My district used to be a football powerhouse, but over the last 17 years the program has dropped off dramatically. The longtime HS coach attributed it to changes in demographics (I.e., Chinese and Indian families don't sign their kids up for Pop Warner, so there's no feeder system to the HS). Soccer has become king.

Baseball isn't that big, surprisingly.

How old is your boy?

After one day at soccer camp*, my kid wants to also do Junior Academy this fall. It'd be a big commitment, time- and money-wise.


* I thought it'd be "soccer camp," run by teenagers who let kids run around booting balls; it's run by one of the local academies and seems intense. I was intimidated at drop off! :D He wasn't. For all the talk about "kids these days" :old: , there's a level of confidence in today's young kids that I totally lacked, anyway!

He's 12.  He's been doubling the baseball/soccer each Spring for the past few years.  Now with baseball moving to the big field next Spring, he decided it was a good time to stop.  He's going to do club soccer starting in the Fall.

He just finished with District Select Soccer yesterday.

That's when it gets good !

My son is soccer in the fall (JV tryouts start in a couple of weeks !),
and baseball from basically January 'til August.

This year was Freshman team at the HS and then U15 American Legion ball (wood bats are awesome !) this summer.

As did Rafael Devers.  Unfortunately they lost.

He did save Sunday's night game against the Yanks with a 9th inning shot against Chapman.

Phillies lost too. This team is abysmal, but I've been watching them almost every night.
