Fist Fighting
Unlike some people I associate with I am not combat trained, I don’t know 16 ways to kill you with my little finger though I’m pretty sure I could bash you enough times with a rock to do the job (I am after all elderly and non-threatening). I’d ambush you, you’d never see me coming …

2018 Senior League Championship Game 7: Dodgers @ Brewers
I must say the Dodgers looked shabby last night. I’m talking 1986 Sox shabby with the caveat that they were never really in the game and the Sox were one strike away, so in fact much worse. Ryu was chased (and is now useless) in 3, 5 Runs down. They used 6 Relievers, none for …

Seven Minutes Of Screaming
Even a minute is a very long time. Try holding your breath. See? I used to be able to swim a 50 meter pool in one breath, but not so much anymore and my Breast Stroke splits for the distance ran in the high 40s. Not that it excused me from IM because I had …

On the other hand they’re at home. Everyone is on short rest (with a travel day) but with the Brewers’ alternative being Golf (the …

2018 Junior League Championship Game 5: Red Sox @ Astros
I’ll not kid you, the Red Sox could end it right here and that would be fine with me since I could worship at the altar of The Great God Citgo in the Series (this is a Series, League Championship, there is only one Series). Up 3 games to 1, who could possibly screw that …

Innocent All The Way
C’mon, don’t you think Sam Bee is innocent? I mean, sure she has 3 kids but they were virgin births. Jason Jones had nothing to do with it Why doesn’t it work? It’s not supposed to. What do poeple that don’t vote think? Who Cares!
