Happy Birthday Gramps
Yesterday was my Dad's birthday so Isaac, Bianca, and I sent him this message:
We also did a little iChatting with the grandparents and the great grandparents who got to see Isaac, aka Chubby Bubby, for the first time. It was one of those moments when technology truly does make the world feel like a smaller place. It was great. He was really in a good mood, watching the monitor and cooing for people almost on command. I think he really likes his GGs, both Woody and Mimi. I can't wait for them to meet him in person.
It was also the All Star game last night and Isaac fell asleep on my chest while watching the game with me. He was impressed by David Price's gas and offspeed stuff, but mystified when Tim McCarver said that Umbaldo Jiminez has "hard" 100 mph pitches while Price has "soft" 100 mph pitches. He and I discussed the matter and we concluded that Tim McCarver, who is becoming more like the John Madden of baseball with every passing game, meant to describe Jiminez's pitches as "heavy". That just means they are sinking fastballs, that they have a pronounced drop. Because of the drop they are hard to lift into the air for hits. Either way, at five weeks of age, Isaac knew more about baseball than Tim McCarver does. Isaac told me to link to this site in hopes that Tim McCarver reads this blog (Domenic you must click that link and go to "Gems").
