First time for everything.

Truly there is a first time for everything. First tooth, first step, first day of school and so on. My son is starting school this year. I vaguely remember my first day of school. My parents on the other hand love to tell the story. My mom and dad took the day off to take me to school and bring me home. Once we got to school I looked back at my parents and told them I was ok and would ride the bus home. Hearing that story for all these I did not notice what that must have felt like. Well now I do. I have taken my son to day care for most of his life. That has been our time. Now he wants to ride the bus to school. So now I know what my parents felt like when I looked back and told them I am ok and I would ride the bus home. First day of school for my son and first time for dad letting his little boy grow up.

Updates From Training Camp

Marques Johnson will transfer from NC State’s basketball team. Marques Johnson played in 21 games and averaged 2 pts and 1.2 dimes last year. With Degand and Gonzalez coming back this year, Johnson would be hard pressed for playing time. Only if one of the starters were to get hurt would Johnson get to play. I hope he is able to find a place where he can find some playing time. Seeing how it will be his third school in as many years.

In Wolfpack football news Coach O’Brien says the QB race is down the three. Three huh? With the start of the season days away you would think we would know who our qb would be at this point. So all we know is it will be either Daniel Evans, Russell Wilson, or Mike Glennon.

Mets win 12-0 over the Washington Nationals. The Mets batters did not give the bull pen a chance to blow yet another save. Hope Wagner will be back soon. Wagner has two more rehab starts and if those go well then he will be back on Monday. Daniel Murphy went 3-6 in the win over the Nationals is batting .467 since being called up from Triple-A. Good to see the farm system working.

In Dolphins training camp Chad Pennington and Chad Henne are getting most of the snaps and we will see lots of them in Jacksonville on Saturday. Jay Feely was released. I guess there is not change we will be in many tight games so we don’t need a reliable kicker.

I really can't wait until the start of football both college and professional. The Mets are tied for first place again but I have not confidence in our bull pen. After last year I will not get my hopes up until the last day of the regular season.
