“Colleen [Pavelka] chose to have the birth of their second child induced a few days early so Mark Pavelka could attend Sunday’s NFC Championship showdown between the Bears and the New Orleans Saints.

The baby was due Monday. But when Colleen went in for an appointment Friday afternoon, her doctors told her she could opt for an early delivery. She decided to do so.” Read more here.

Wow, that’s commitment! If only we’d reschedule our lives for the Lord. Amazing what labor we could accomplish for Him.

Okay as a perennial Braves fan, I have made one cardinal sin. I’m still a fan of Tom Glavine, the long hated pitcher who left the Braves for the dreaded N.Y. Mets. But hey, I’m sorry to say I’m a Glavine fan! I’ve got his rookie cards and a signed baseball. I’m actually pulling for the Mets in the playoffs when Glavine is pitching (so every few games, I’m a Met fan). That’s right baby. Game two  of the playoffs (6 scoreless innings) and Game one of the NLCS (7 scorless)! I secretly believe that he’s wearing a Braves uniform under his Met one - that’s how I sleep at night.

I read a recent article on what defines a clutch player, it’s argued that Glavine may be Mr. Clutch when it comes to pitching in the playoffs. Read it here.  

So…. GO METS (ever 4th game!)

I love the boys from A-town. I’m a big fan, but apparently, I have nothing to boast.

The “No. 1 Braves Fan,” Pearl Sandow has died. Sandow, enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame’s fan section, attended 1,889 consecutive Braves home games, starting with the team’s first game in Atlanta in 1966.

So I guess, I’ll just stick to the title, “No. 1 Braves Fan” in the Pacific Northwest.
