Sitting at the computer listening to the sleet hit the window sure has a way of making you want to be in New Mexico. The Aggies beat Gonzaga today 5-2. This is a good test for New Mexico State, as Gonzaga had beaten Arizona State and Oregon State last week and were named the national team of the week by at least two publications.
They have moved BL to the four hole. Main reason for this is to cover their All American in the three hole since no one is pitching to him and BL seems the best fit to do this. My only fear with him being in the four hole (as big a compliment as it is), is that he won't see as many pitches to hit. He will be fine, however, since he does some of his best hitting with two strikes. Brandon went 1-4 with a walk today which extends his hitting streak to six games. He was great behind the plate (as usual) and at one point made a tag at the plate, blocking the runner from ever even getting close. That run would have tied it up at the time. It is always good to get a win especially against a team that everyone in the nation was "buzzing" about. Here's to hoping NMSU can win the series. Here is the article on today's game. We'll let everyone know about tomorrow and Sunday's games:NMSU Article
We went to SB's Family Fun Night tonight at her elementary school. She enjoyed seeing all of her friends from her class in a different setting. Can't say that I enjoyed it all that much, but after you teach elementary for five years, I don't think Family Fun Night is any teacher's idea of a Friday night. I think the fact that both Kelly and I worked at SB's Valentine's party on Tuesday helped - getting to meet other parents. But all in all, it was good and we had a lot of fun after getting home - just hanging out and watching the Incredibles. JB was good, and that is always a concern. (He always seems to surprise me).
Megan is staying with a friend tonight, so we told her if the roads were bad to call me and I would come get her. Better safe than sorry.
That's about it...... Until tomorrow.

I agree! It is 8 degrees in Chicago tonight, I would love to be back in Las Cruces.
Got Green Chili?
Hi anonymous, thanks for posting on our blog. Do you live in Las Cruces? Do you know BL or follow NMSU baseball?
You better like green chili if you live in NM. Every place we ate it was the same, "would you like red or green chili?" You better have a stomach of steel.
