Not much to say right now. Just taking advantage of the wireless card while watching Jackson play coach pitch, on an unseasonably hot October afternoon. It's almost 90 (yet again; we've already had an all-time record # of days at 90 or above, and look to add to that record tomorrow), but at least the humidity is low.
I don't know the name of Jack's team. I don't think they have a team name. But their shirts are red, so we'll call them the Reds. They started miserably ("pathetic", to use their coach's term) in the first inning, giving up the maximum 6 runs. But ever since then (maybe the coach's admonishment worked), they've played stellar defense, with about 3 web gems, and a 6-run inning of their own.
Jackson has struck out once, and hit a nubber-single. He's pretty fast, and a smart baserunner, and ended up scoring that time. He's up 3rd this inning, so let's see how he does...
3rd at-bat, and 3rd different bat he's taken to the plate. I've instructed him to let the first pitch go, to get the timing down, to practice watching the ball cross the plate. He finally let the first pitch go, but he stood statue-still, never moving his head or taking his eyes off the coach-pitcher. Struck out again, though i only saw 2 swings & misses. Nobody said anything, and Jackson ran back to the bench, so maybe i was wrong.

Yep, they're the Reds. That's their actual name. And you really ought to mention Jackson's great catch at second base, even if the runner was safe!
