Manager Gets To Call In Son For Relief

((HT: MLB.com))

This is just really a cool moment more than anything else...

San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy was getting his hat handed to him last night in the game against the Dodgers. Tim Hudson started and got shelled- giving up 6 in an inning-plus. Tim Lincecum came in for a relief appearance and got shelled- giving up five runs in three innings. Mike Kickham came in for a relief appearance after that and got shelled- giving up four in an ining and two-thirds.

It was 15-0 before anyone could really get settled and Dodgers starter Zack Greinke even hit a home run to help his own cause.

So, the game was out of control. As a manager, what do you do...???

Call your son, Brett, out of the bullpen for the bottom of the sixth...


Brett was understandably shaky giving up 2 runs in an inning and a third, but, hey...

How many dads get to do that...???

Houston Baptist Takes The Field

((HT: MyFoxHouston))

Houston Baptist's football program was 53 years in the making...

And the head coach, Vic Shealy, wanted to play Sam Houston State (yes, them...) for their first-game ever...

They lost 74-0, but that was okay...

"We knew this would be really, really a challenge much larger than you see typically on a college field," Shealy said after the game. "While you'd like to think we were capable of playing better, you cannot put into context just how young we are and how big an opportunity this was for us to grow our program."

The HBU offense only crossed midfield once...

Here's a piece our friends at MyFoxHouston put together before the season opener...

The Huskies were playing their first game in program history and have an abbreviated seven-game schedule. Houston Baptist will join the Southland Conference in 2014.
