Pops Is A Pops Again....

We are blessed beyond our wildest dreams. Gus Wylie Daniels was born on the 18th and weighed in at 8lbs. 7oz. and 22 in. long. Mrs. Pops was f'ing nails and Gus came out admirably feisty and ushered in a beautiful win. Will check the pregnancy pool later to see who won the prize. Thanks to any and all interested. Mrs. Pops and I were watching the game and she (In massive pain going natural) looked up from a contraction and saw Freel futz around with a grounder in the outfield and said "eh, damn, looks like he's struggling" then went back into horrific pain. I married one of the good ones..... Looks like Alan is on the clock.

Congrats Pops!
I’m assuming this is why you weren’t around or beer at the game yesterday? Not that it mattered since I didn’t have a number to contact you at anyway.
He’s a good looking kid. Already looks like he’s got a little bit of an attitude. Should be a fun one!

Atta boy Pops!!
Congratulations. Remember to train up a child in the way he should go. In other words, Make him a Reds fan!!

Won't that get a call from Child Services?

What does that kid have to be crying about?
He hasn’t been a baseball fan during the lean times. He wasn’t around! He just doesn’t get it.
I mean
Congratulations on the blessing for your family.

Eh, yeah
my foray over to Let’s Go Tribe has come to an end after they sent me an e-mail protesting my use of profanity (I typed “shitty”) and posting pics of hot chicks (Alyssa Milano in Yankees shirt). What a bunch of jerk-offs.

Yes, it is
we were going to go with Angus Wylie D. but chickened out on the Angus part. But yeah, we went all the way Scottish.

Yes
though long lost in family lore. My grandfather could only help me trace back to his dad in the late 1800’s. My great-grandfather referred to Eastern Ky. as “down home.” I wish I knew more.

8th and State Ave.
became the only “down home” that the ‘billies in this branch of the Daniels clan can claim as their own. I’m trying to raise the bar a bit with my boys.

Congrats!!
He looks like he has a little bit of an attitude.. Although with that name, it fits perfectly. Glad everything went well and we’ll have to get that picnic going soon..

we’ll get through the period of poop that looks like mustardy bird-seed and then we’ll be picnic ready.

Congratulations Pops!
I love the first picture, but I must ask, what happened to Nuxhall?

This one was entirely up to the wife
she liked Nuxhall, especially after opening day ceremonies, but alas, she thought that it would be unfair to saddle the kid with a name that would inspire such connotations. What if he wasn’t a lefty pitcher, and turned out to be a hairdresser or something? So, after she backed off, she was talking about Asher (which I did not like) and eventually we steered into Gus. I pushed for Angus, but she thought better of it.

after talking to you at bar louie
i went home and told chan about you wanting to name your son nuxhall. she loved the idea. in fact, since you didn’t use it, if we ever have a little boy, we are going to.

Cool,
use away. I think it’s a lovely tribute and a kick-ass first name.

GEORGE: What?! They’re stealing the name?! That’s my name, I made it up!
SUSAN: I can’t believe that they’re using it.
GEORGE: (anger) Well now it’s not gonna be original! It’s gonna lose all its cachet!
SUSAN: I dunno how much cachet it had to begin with.
GEORGE: (rage) Oh, it’s got cachet, baby! It’s got cachet up the yin-yang!

That’s pretty close to Usher. Your baby could be making love in this club.
In line for Indiana Jones

Just Gus
We were going with Angus, but the wife had second thoughts after she made the AC/DC connection. I loved the name but hard to fault her reasoning.
