She will only be 10 months Tuesday, but my daughter has already established solid credentials in the game.
Making her third appearance of the season, she has yet to be outlasted by any starting pitcher she has seen all year, going 7 1/2 innings on Opening Day, 9 innings in May (admittedly, during a rapid-fire Kevin Brown complete game) and now 7 2/3 innings in a long slugfest.
She did start to suffer a small meltdown in the bottom of the eighth Sunday, enough that we decided to remove her from the game in the middle of an at-bat - with the count 0-2 to Adrian Beltre. However, she did see Beltre hit the Dodger Stadium record ninth home run before we headed off.
What a gamer.
As for me ... if there are any of you at all who pay attention to the "Games Jon Attended" standings, you may have noticed my big slump. Despite the Dodgers' overall .540 record at home, I've fallen to 7-8, and am winless since May.
