There was once a feller


So you like your MLB history? There was once this feller named Steve Blass...a journeyman pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates...hey, we're talking 67 years young and last pitched in the bigs back in '74...as do a lot of former ballplayers, they develop other interests rather early in life due to having to get out of baseball at such an early age...oops, I can't really tell you what that is...but here is the real deal...Pitt hosts an alumni golf tourney every year, to honor and keep the camaraderie tight for the old Pirate players...seems that Steve had a visit with one other very famous Pirate fan, none other than Arnold Palmer...whether or not, that had an impact...Mr. Blass went out and did what is like 67 million to one...he had 2 holes in one in the same round!!! Steve, you were spot on...

My college pix...again 4-1...UCLA whupping on the Vols was my only miss...USC in a heart stopper over OSU...OSU (Beavs) in a nail biter over UNLV (as I warned you)...UW in a stomp over the Vandals...and Hawaii embarrassing WSU....
And food for thought...the Dux rebounded with a home win over Purdue, 38-36...BYU and Cal in big wins...Okla big over Idaho St....SDS won it's home opener...next week I'm picking the Mountain West...

Tiger opens up a 7 stroke lead at the BMW...turn out the lights...

In about an hour the Sunday NFL kicks off and , as usual, I am fantasy bound...really could care less about who wins...outside of the hometown Bolts...I think it's a party at the Dude's for this one tomorrow eve...

When you wonder about the importance of collegiate football...you have to stop and realize 105,000 people must be believers...check out the numbers at the Horse Shoe at Ohio State...

Fore!!! or is that two??!

I attended the Duck game Sat. nite and can make several observations. The Ducks are not a contender this year. Not physical, lots of execution problems and no true running back.
The noise level in Autzen actually caused pain in my ears. Loudest thing I have ever heard. 58,000 people, more than half of them drunk.
probably wouldn't go again unless in a box or suite.

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
