Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Baby pictures

Excuse things around here as we celebrate Maya, the newest addition to the A's Fan Club.

Blez will be back soon (probably Saturday) with the second installment of his killer interview with Billy Beane. Until then, you're going to have to make do with diaries and baby pictures.

And as a friend of Blez's, I can confirm that yes -- outside of work -- he only wears A's gear.

When will Maya go to her first game?

A good looking kid, but then, look at mom.  Congratulations to both of you.

Thats what i thought
When i saw the pictures. She looks so tired, and sweaty.

Congratulations Blez, thats a really cool name your daughter has (as a matter of fact, Blez is kinda cool in a wierd way). You can call her MC!

"Maya Conchita Bleszinksi, go to your room!"

Haha sorry just imaging that scenario, thats such a great name.

Conratulations, try and catch some extra sleep at work. You'll need it....

Relax alright don't try to strike everyone out. Strikeouts are boring besides that they're fascist. Throw some ground balls it's more democratic.

Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Blez.  Best of luck.

I'm just stopping by while feeding my daughter at 12:50 AM or so, you've got a lot of that to look forward to.  It's all good.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Blez

I guess this really is your most memorable offseason.

cute kid...
You might want to save the A's gear for wearing after she gets past the drolling stage.  Congratulations, you are a very lucky man.  

by street69 on Jan 21, 2005 5:34 AM PST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Nah
Baby drool is not so bad.

Spit up is another matter...

by grover on Jan 21, 2005 6:45 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Eww....
I have three younger sisters and a goddaughter and let me tell you, growing up around all that spit up is not.... pleasurable. When my sister was 4 (past that stage), I had another one. When that one was 4, my mom had another one. And now that she's 3, my goddaughter was born. sigh many more years to come.

Blez- you're baby is adorable. I can't wait to see her in a Zito jersey!! :) Best wishes to your wife (she looks exhausted) and help her out. She's gonna need it. It gonna take you some getting used to holding the baby. Nice shot (the thrid picture). :)

My best friend- "I can't wait to go to A's games again! then i can be like...look at Crosby's buns... i mean... look at crosby run!"

Oh, she is adorable.
Congratulations to the parents.  You did good work.

My best wishes
to the Blez family.  We can only hope she grows up to look as good as her mom.  Couldn't have picked a better name; my wonderful 10 yrs old granddaughter's name is Maya.

Kos and Blez!
My two favorite bloggers unite for this joyous occasion. Awesome!

Please no more baby pictures... My wife might want a third.

Mrs. Blez looks exhausted, yeah,
but also completely blissed out.

Congrats to her and the mister again, and thanks to kos for posting the photos.

nice pitchers blez
the bottom pitcher looks like one of mine-for some reason us men have a hard time holding that 1st child......we look like a  linebacker carrying a football to the endzone with a huge grin.

congrats once again,

bigelephant

Best Wishes
God bless your new baby Blez.

You and your wife look so happy.

Any father has to be taken back to the feelings he had when his first was born by seeing the joy on your face.

I know I was.

Thanks for sharing.

My baby daughter entered this world just about a year ago.  It's a great thing being a father.  Actually, words cannot describe how wonderful it is.
