My son lost his first tooth last night (lower right central incisor) as he was sitting on the couch playing his Nintendo DS. He was so excited about it because one of his friends already lost a tooth and did the whole Tooth Fairy thing, and my boy was anxious to “catch up” in that respect.
So he put his tooth under his pillow and awoke to find $5 there this morning. Later today I’m going to take him to the store so he can buy a coloring book or whatever else he might want.
I can’t believe he’s already losing his baby teeth… it seems like just yesterday that they came in!!!

The MLB trading deadline is July 31, so you can expect to see lots of movement between now and then, as contenders try to shore up their rosters, while pretenders start building for the future by unloading expensive talent for prospects and draft picks.
Why would anyone even want to bring up the name Steve Bartman when the Chicago Cubs have a great chance at winning the NL Central pennant this year? For those of you who might not know, Steve Bartman was the fan who interfered with Cubs left fielder Moises Alou on an infamous foul ball in the 2003 NLCS.
