Play ball!

Can’t wait for BASEBALL!!! I still love to hear baseball on the radio. Memories of listening at the camp ground, the beach, while sitting outside in the back yard. I also think Joe Castiglione is one of the best in the business. The Red Sox are on this afternoon! Then they have a day off. I always hated that as a kid. You get all excited….they play one game….then a break. I know the reason they do it is in case they have to postpone opening day….but still it feels weird.

We made our predictions today. I think the Red Sox will win the Wild Card. I think the Yankees are set to win the division again. Jack thinks it’ll be the Yankees, Rays and then the Red Sox and they won’t make the playoffs. Neal agreed. We shall see.

We had fun with the Impossible Question today. The question was: A babies first words are usually “mommy” or “daddy.” What comes third? Paula had the correct answer. It was “more.” That got us talking about things our kids say. Paula has an 11 year old and a 14 year old so I was talking about teenage angst. That’s when you ask them to do anything and all you get is a huge sigh. “Can you feed the dog?” The reply is “awwww” with a huge sigh. It’s like you’re asking them to carry a load of bricks!

We had a list of 8 Things Every Kid Should Experience:
1. Being part of a team.
2. Camping
3. Chores
4. Snow
5. Farm Life
6. A lemonade stand
7. Flying a kite
8. Bowling

And our guest today was Michael Gwynne of the Pawtucket Red Sox. They start a new season tonight. Check out pawsox.com for all of their events this year.

Tomorrow we’ll talk about Home Run Calls. If you were a baseball announcer, what would your signature home run call be?

We’ll talk to some folks from the Buttonwood Park Zoo. They have some great events coming up for school vacation week. That’s at 8:22am.

And our movie critic Joanna Langfield will join us at 8:52am to look at new movies this weekend.
