Game 23 Wrap up - Good game, let's go eat

Thanks to Placido Polanco, the eighth inning was a big one for the Philadelphia Phillies. Thanks to Mom, it was also a big one for Michael.

Placido Polanco got a big hit.

The second baseman cracked a two-out, two-run single that propelled the Phils to a 6-4 win over the Chicago Cubs.

While the Phils were cooking up the rally, Mom had something new on the stove. She mixed up some milk and cereal for Michael. It was the first time he's eaten anything other than his mother's milk (Other than a quick taste from The Creamery).

Dad gave him his first couple spoonfuls. He seemed to like eating from the spoon. He sure grabbed it enough. Mom fed him some more too. Then we went to the bottle as Jonathan Papelbon (Mom says, "Didn't they call him Big Pappy in Boston?") brought home the save.

It's good to see Polly hitting. He was batting below .200 just last week, but has been 6-for-15 in his four games.
