It’s Monday. We want to forget the weekend in Philadelphia, minus Saturday.

To do that, other people might find looking at pictures of baby animals soothing. Not us. We like pictures of our manager.

So, because it’s been awhile, it’s another Matheny Monday — to ease you into the week, and you as well.

Enjoy!

(Yes, he can even make those St. Patrick’s Day uniforms look good!)

And, to close, a pic we’ve used before — but isn’t it worth seeing again?

Finally, and completely not Matheny-related, if you watched the closing ceremony of the Olympics last night, you heard a bit of a song that likely brought back happy memories of last October. Here’s the version you’re more used to hearing — with an old friend will make you smile. (No, not That Guy Who Used to Play First Base either!)

Happy Monday!
