I just get back and I'm lazy in posting already?

Lakers won in a real good game. I think they're gonna sweep...not so sure after tonight though.

Baseball has been real tough as of late. The passing of my high school baseball coach (R.I.P. Coach Delzell) and then Manny Ramirez suspension? I really wanted to stop watching, hearing or talking about baseball for a while.

But then, I went to a game with my dad, mom and brother and I remembered how we used to go to dodgers games all the time when I was little...it put the biggest smile on my face.

Mom eating dodgers dogs and having tiny sips of my beer. She's so cute. I love her.

Dad...well dad is dad. Always down to go to games. Always down to get some beers.

I went to the best game I could remember in a long time with anyone earlier this season and it was with my dad.

Manny hit his first 2 HR's of the year then my boy Ethier followed up with 2 of his own.

Dad was happy. I was WAY happy.

Baseball has always revolved around my family one way or another...and I wanted to quit it about a week or so ago.

Now I'm thinking it's what keeps me going through rough patches.

Love baseball.

Go Dodgers.
