For the past 3 years the majority of us Dodgers fans have have been in the dark when it comes to Dodger games. All thanks to the deal struck between Time Warner Cable and the Dodgers ownership. I say enough is enough. The time for change is now. The past few months I have been lucky enough to have joined the L.A. sports podcast Guys In Shorts Sports . We have talked plenty of times about the Dodgers situation and the frustrations of the fans on a few episodes. So we decided to try and make a change. This where you come in. We are asking all Dodgers fans and really baseball fans in general join please sign and share our petition to get both the Dodgers and Time Warner back to the negotiation table. Dodger management owes it to their fan base to get a new deal in the works. "While the Dodgers might not be feeling the immediate effects of this deal, the long term ramifications could be catastrophic. Three seasons without Dodger baseball available on TV means three years t...

Parenting is filled with the good, the bad, and the ugly. This post is ALL about the ugly. You have been warned. A few days ago my son was having a hard time pooping (remember when I warned you?). Constipation in never fun. He had started started solid foods and I am assuming that his body was getting used to 'processing' said new food. Unfortunately for the little guy, his poop was coming out hard. He was struggling and crying to get it out. As hard as he tried, it just was not working. It was heartbreaking to see him hurting and hearing him cry. What happened next was, lets just say, a helping hand (plus a wipey) came to the rescue. In the end it all worked itself out. He has been pooping normally now. Crisis averted. But I will always remember when I earned the "Helping Hand" parenting badge.

Well bubba is back to normal. At least what's normal for him. Lol. As a parent you notice even the smallest changes in your kid(s). And when they are not feeling well those changes are rarely small. All you want to do is make them better. Sometimes you are able too and sometimes it's out of your hands. But when they do finally get back to normal, man that is a great feeling. It's a feeling that I think only parents get to feel. Any ways, now that he is smiling, jumping, and "talking" again it's back to normal in this house. Crazy normal but who wants boring normal?
