Is it illegal to put flour in an envelope?

[astros76]

Not sure, but congrats on your new baby... I have a 3 year old that played baseball for the first time this fall. Enjoy every minute! It just keeps getting better and better.

Illegal? No. Will it lead to a series of very bad days? Yes.

played baseball at 3? why?

It's called blastball. It is designed for fun and to begin to teach the fundamentals. The whole game is a batter hits from the tee and runs to first base and it makes a sound. The fielders try to catch the ball and then yell blastball. That's it... no scoring, just fun and learning a little about baseball. Of course, isn't that the whole point of baseball... to play a game that is great and to have fun doing it?

Just frowned upon.  Like counting cards, or masturbating on an airplane.

Damn 9-11. Everyone got so sensitive.

3 is far too young for that. seriously, let the kid be a kid for a few years before the parents take over.

Don't listen to Jim.  We had both of our kids working through the minor scales by 3.  When they couldn't play simple Bach by 4, we stopped feeding them until they got it right.  It's the same for baseball.

There's only onre thing that can make this all better if the astros could somehow win it all next year.

Seriously, has it been that long since 2005 for everyone... things aren't going well, so let's give parenting advice... and all I'm trying to do is congratulate a guy and encourage him to enjoy every minute of parenthood.

I guess it depends on which calendar one uses.

[remy]

Thank you!

i'd say that to you if the Astros won the WS yesterday. a 3 year old in organized sports is ridiculous.

I've seen 30 year olds who have no business playing organized sports.

Which is why we don't have a softball game any more.

I thought it was because you left the beer distributor?

It was more a case of not being able to find a park that would allow alcohol without having to fork over outrageous sums of money for police/security.

Levy Park.  Done.  The homeless guys can be security AND be paid with beer.  Synergies.

Having locals working security for free is a great idea!
