Please welcome Ryker Booth to Red Sox Nation

by Randy Booth on Feb 9, 2008 10:35 PM EST in News

My brother Rob (aka the artist formerly known as NHRedSox here at OTM) brought a new Red Sox fan into the world on Thursday. Ryker Colin Booth: 20 inches, 8.9 lbs:

Rob wanted to name him "Ripken Cal Booth" but it was vetoed by the Misses. So I'm going to steal that name in 10 years...

He's handsome ... just like his Uncle. ;-)

Ryker? What a horrifying name.

Why didn't they just name the baby "Optimus Prime"

That was actually the No. 2 choice...

Ah, the anonymous cloak of the internet. So useful for when you want to make boorish comments about the name of a newborn baby related to this site's editor. Glorious stuff, chappa. Glorious.

You know the best part you git, is that Randy knew I was teasing from the start and you were the one who got his knickers in a twist about it.

The baby looks adorable. Congrats on becoming an uncle.

(Ryker is still a bad name...imagine the Star Trek jokes he is going to have to put up with. ;))

There. Fixed.

Also, congratulations to Rob and his wife, Randy, and the entire Booth family.

You're not picking on New Hampshire, are you, Tennessee-boy?

hwat?

...I'm honestly lost.

I think the only one I picked on was Randy, who I'm clearly better-looking than.

Though, I did leave open the possibility that I was referring to SD.

On the whole though? F- N.H. :)

Re: hwat?

Maybe I misread, I thought you said "his wife Randy"...

Re: hwat?

Ah, haha, no.

Though I'm sure you'd be entertained to know that I was more concerned with comma use in that sentence than I usually am. i.e. had the thought of it being misinterpreted.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Re: Please welcome Ryker Booth to Red Sox Nation

Thanks everyone. I would have responded earlier but we have been a bit busy around here. Baby and Mom are doing great, we're all a little tired but sleep is over rated.
