Funny story I thought I'd share that may help some in the future. We're driving from the airport and my son texts my wife, asking that we pick up a Bang energy drink. We don't like to support such a habit, but agree since he's starting. Go to first store we see and they only have Monster. Wife says get the sugar free, I say no, doubt he drinks sugar free. Give to son, wife looks it up, Bang is sugar free. Wife is right again.
Fast forward to game, Jack has a good start, but then a real messy 3rd inning. Velo down, hits 2 batters, walks another 2, including walking in a run. Then I break into a cold sweat, thinking, darn, he probably drank that Monster and is having a sugar crash because I didn't buy the damn zero sugar drink. That bad inning was all my fault.
Turns out, he took one sip before the game, didn't like it and threw it out. Dad off the hook, bad inning was all on the boy!
Lesson learned, don't support your kid's bad habit and ALWAYS listen to your wife.
Here's to a great season for all out there!
Congrats to CTbbDadSon. Your story about his sports drink reminded me of the day when Mark Buehrle had a break in his routine, when he forgot to pick up his favorite sportsdrink (Rockstar) on the way to one start...he had a pretty good result.
