Stolen base! Way to take the bat out of the hands of your best hitter.

Okay, I'm finally here. My sister's birthday party lasted way longer than I anticipated. The wife drank too much wine and I had to stop three times on the way home for her to barf.
Nice huh? Maybe I'll bring some good luck.
Go Sox!!!
