Prompt: "A song about a banana... yes, we're doing this prompt again! Fuck all the haters! If I want to hear songs about bananas I'm gonna make my friends and family pick songs about bananas, goddamn it!!!"

This song choice feels like a grand slam, much like Kyle Schwarber's grand slam to reset the Phillies' season on 8/14! I am writing this Wednesday night and just finished the Phillies game. I am going to use this silly banana prompt to write about my favorite silly boys of the season! The Phillies team has been so much fun (until recently) this season. In March, Maeve and I made a deal that we would go to a game each month throughout their season, and it's been such a treat! They have become cherished memories for me this spring and summer, and I can't wait to carry that through until Red October, baby!
I also want all of you to know that I have a soul-sucking crush on Brandon Marsh. And I'm talking about an all-consuming, constantly-thinking-about, middle-school-style crush. I just can't seem to get over how cute he is! He seems like both a genuinely kindhearted good-time guy, and a bad boy douchey guy. Maybe it's the long wet hair, or the beard, or honestly dat ass that does it... who's to say! But I might be arrested for all the DM's I've sent him asking him to meet me at Xfinity Live! after a game, or seeing if he wants to come swimming in my pool and play mermaids. I'm sad to report that I've never gotten a response back, but here's to hoping one day I'll be writing on this blog about the day I met my HUSBAND BRANDON MARSH!!!

Seriously, why is his hair always wet???
It's because he likes wearing his hair down but it needs to be wet so it doesn't fly around in the wind!!! It actually makes a lot of sense.....
I often think about brushing his hair for him... doesn't that sound lovely!
