Brady's Very Long Week Of Baseball Is Almost Over. And by Very Long Week, I mean he had practice Monday, game Tuesday, game Wednesday, off yesterday, game tonight, game tomorrow. Phew. (It's a good thing his team has pitching depth.)

They've won the three games they've played thus far, including this evening's 3-1 affair against the Rangers (who they hadn't yet played this season). That's him all the way to the right following the post-game handshakes.

Brady's noted this before, but it bears repetition here because I think it's true: he has a genuinely nice team. The boys all seem to be good-natured and have good manners. (Brady's more blunt commentary? "No one's a jerk." So there you go.)

So yes, tonight I'm grateful that he's part of a team of nice boys this season and that he's having fun.
