Just met Raúl Ibañez

786641027

After a lovely dinner with my wife and son for my birthday we decided to go to Best Buy. As we walk in a late model Infiniti SUV pulls up and then a bald headed Latino guy gets out. He walks in and immediately I tell my wife its Raúl Ibańez! She tells me to chill out and calm down. I'm like no, its him! We get inside and I look for the bald head. I see the shine and its him. I walk up to him in awe and say "Mr. Ibañez". He was very friendly and said hi to my son. I asked for a picture and without hesitation he was in his stance as my wife snapped a pic. Definitely was a stand up guy.

Now give out a hearty Raaaaúl!

Tough loss at Nationals Park

With the rain delay, Rolling getting hurt, Bastardo blowing the save and Lidge hitting a batter with the bases loaded it was a bad day to be a Phillies fan. It was my first time at Nationals Park and I loved the stadium. There were much more Phillies fan in the stadium than Nationals fans but we left out a bit empty. The stadium workers had a good time throwing the loss in my face at the Metro station.
