We heart Yu

Sorry about the back-to-back posts (and iphone pictures in this one), but if don't post now-- it could become a long-lost-idea.

Last night, our friends invited us out to the Ballpark in Arlington to watch the Ranger game from their suite.
We decided to bring the boys, since their kids were going-- against our better judgement.

I think they did okay-- despite their busy day, the day before... and the amount of sugar that I am sure is still circulating within their veins....

but Lance says we will get a sitter before the next game, we were constantly trading baby or tracking Maddox-- so we got to watch less game than we had planned.

Yu Darvish pitched yesterday...

and I would have to hit up google to tell you any more than he is a pitcher from Japan.

(sorry Kristi!)

It was crazy to see how much media (or Japanese men with ridiculous cameras that surely would pass for media) were there!

My favorite story about Yu was this:

Our friend's son is really good at baseball.  He's like 7ish?!? but plays year around on select teams.

He knows his baseball-- and is a serious fan as well.

He was watching the game and I asked him how baseball was going this season...

I asked him what positions he was playing this year...

and then I askd him if he was the next Yu Darvish.

He confidently shook his no and said, "nah."

So I asked... "not quite that good yet?"

In which he replied, without even a smile... "no, he's not that good."

I cracked up laughing!!

Oh, to have to confidence of a child.

We enjoyed our family night...

with sweet friends.

(whom we have to make more time to see.)

And better yet...

The Rangers won!
