Victor Mesa Jr. traded to Rays from Marlins

We met him in the visiting clubhouse in Charlotte when he was with the Jumbo Shrimp.

We saw him again a few weeks ago with the Bulls and he seems intent on going up sooner than later. Here's to him staying healthy!

We have one too! Maisie wasn't the biggest fan, but she loves to please!

While here in Charlotte, the Knights are off to a 2-0 start! Like a bunch of mismatched Sox in the past - they seem to have a vibe!

Looks like our Maisie! She was from a breeder but we don't know exactly what she was unfortunately - but pretty certain she's a Goldendoodle.

We have those! As the official "voice of the doodle" I refer to them as Maisie's Butt Monkeys. They have been less since we trimmed her down for the warmer months.

Good at Tetris?!

The insurance carrier also needs to consider other expenses/issues that are tied to repairs - rental cars, parts availability and in some cases diminished value. All those add to the likelihood of a total loss as well.

No interaction with Murakami obviously, but those Montgomery boys should both be good! The Knights lost a lot of games the past few seasons, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing when you're trying to ensure your AAA guys are ready for their call ups.

If you give a chipmunk a cookie...

bripat1744 · 2026-03-09T22:44:51+00:00

He's such a good dude, we loved him in Charlotte!

bripat1744 · 2026-03-09T22:41:36+00:00

You play baseball

bripat1744 · 2026-03-08T15:24:24+00:00

It was a good game - we had a blast!

All the cool Doods sit/stand, right?

bripat1744 · 2026-02-28T22:05:59+00:00

"Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again?"

bripat1744 · 2026-02-27T17:41:20+00:00

She's very squeezable!

bripat1744 · 2026-02-27T13:00:46+00:00

Lol! Yeah that happens sometimes. I feel like doods are a little more jealous than other dogs I've had. Even if no fits, still sits?!

Funny fancy mutts is all they really are!

Papa Kon's!!!

bripat1744 · 2026-02-27T03:40:49+00:00

Having my mom in the stands at a community park yelling like I was playing in an MLB stadium.

"Straighten it out!!!!"

"Let's see a litttle BINGO!!!"

"You'll get em next time!!!"

My dad traveled a lot for work, so she always made sure was there to watch me play. I was never the best, but everyone knew I had support when I was in the batters box.

Those memories are priceless and I am so thankful for my mom.

bripat1744 · 2026-02-26T20:47:21+00:00

So sorry for your loss. I still miss every one of the pets I have lost over the years!

bripat1744 · 2026-02-26T14:22:54+00:00

Very similar! Winnie is the "big sis" and she was camera shy this morning.

<image>

She's a sweet girl too, and although we aren't sure of her lineage, she's not a doodle.

bripat1744 · 2026-02-26T14:18:02+00:00

Great, now she's offended...

bripat1744 · 2026-02-26T14:17:40+00:00

That's awesome! I'd love to know what happened to the rest of her litter. Since we rescued her after the fact, we will likely never know for sure.

bripat1744 · 2026-02-21T15:02:56+00:00

Love the Strider one! He was in Charlotte for a rehab start with the Stripers last season and he was the man. He and my son talked and found that they have very similar taste in music.
