This wiggleworm slipped into his uniform late this afternoon for playoff game number two. Although the AAA A's cruised to a win in their Monday match-up, just about everyone expected this to be a significantly tougher row to hoe given that it was against a team that a) was the number two seed and b) had proven pretty hard to beat all season.

But almost everyone was, as the worm turned, wrong. The entire lineup --including Brady, who notched two hits including a "homerun" which was probably a single followed by several errors that ended with him safe at home but we won't dwell on the details-- hit the ball, the pitcher rocked, and the defense was good.

And in the end, they beat the Dodgers 10-0 in four innings, which gives them a few off-days before they're back to the diamond on Saturday.

I'm happy for these boys. I'm happy to see them hustle and hit and field and smile. And as always, I feel blessed that baseball is part of my Mom Life.
