Sage’s Baby Teeth

Well folks, yesterday I managed to finally wiggle out that baby canine that I had been working on. Afterwards I was able to take out two molars on the bottom jaw to complete my set and remove the rest of the baby teeth attached to sagey’s brain. No, she didn’t exactly enjoy me helping her baby teeth free themselves but it was fun for me nonetheless. She is crazy.

Here is a picture of her beautiful teeth with a few baby teeth still attached. You can see her chipped canine still in her mouth with her adult tooth shoving it out of the way.

Here are the baby teeth we managed to either find or pull out ourselves. The other ones she lost or swallowed along her journey.

FIRST PLACE BRAVES!

Braves take sole possession of first
07/26/2005 10:19 PM ET
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com

ATLANTA —Everything seemed to be going according to the script usually used for a key divisional matchup. Two All-Star starters provided impressive performances, and the offenses did whatever they could to be recognized.

Fortunately for the Braves, the final scene involved them claiming a 3-2, 10-inning win over the Nationals in front of a raucous and sold-out crowd at Turner Field on Tuesday night.

Andruw Jones drew a four-pitch, bases-loaded walk off Luis Ayala that allowed pinch-runner Jeff Francoeur to casually stroll home with the winning run amid the loud cheers of a home crowd that got to enjoy the fact that their Braves had finally overtaken the Nationals and assumed sole possession of first place for the first time since June 4.

Whereas the Braves were able to do little damage against Livan Hernandez, they had little problem with All-Star closer Chad Cordero, who suffered just his fourth blown save in 38 chances. Andruw Jones opened the ninth with a double off Cordero, advanced to third on a Chipper Jones single and scored on Adam LaRoche’s sacrifice fly.

LaRoche’s two-out, seventh-inning homer had proved to be the Braves’ only offense against Hernandez, who allowed just the one run and four hits in eight innings. The late comeback simply extended the woes of the veteran right-hander, who had been 0-10 with a 6.91 ERA in his previous 12 regular-season starts against the Braves.

Smoltz, who is 7-0 with a 1.90 ERA in his past nine starts, allowed just two runs on eight hits in eight innings. He retired eight of the final nine batters he faced and made sure that this battle between All-Star pitchers lived up to its hype.

Brad Wilkerson, who had three hits and made an acrobatic catch that robbed Chipper Jones of a seventh-inning homer, provided a two-out RBI single in the third inning and a fifth-inning single that put Hernandez in position to score the other run charged to Smoltz.

Comment Tip

So when you leave a comment, I require a name and email just cause i hate anonymous comments. On my browser when I go to leave a comment my previous info doesn’t automatically appear in the boxes. Does it for you? I have found out though that if I do leave a comment and just not type in my name/email it appears in the boxes while it submits and sits there after processing. Weird. Maybe I am just seeing things or need to clean out my cache or some crap. How does it work for you? (And if you have left a comment before—thanks—you should be able to just type in the box and let it ride—Let me know)

Creeping Up

MILWAUKEE (AP)—Mike Stanton balked home the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning Friday night, giving the Milwaukee Brewers a 4-3 win over the slumping Washington Nationals.

HAHA!
