Walk Off

-
Mired in a deep slump, for him...Adrian Gonzalez... tried to and was successful, in winning the final game against the Mets...with a grand salammy in the 11th!  He had a double in the 9th, with the winning run being nailed at the plate...they call it a walk off...really, the Mets were very fortunate to be that close as the Pads left guys on base over and over and over...and continue with the best record in the NL....and nobody is talking about it...and nobody from SD is showing up at the games...the pitching, led by Clayton Richard, and the pen were marvelous...
Speaking of pitching...the Tiger's Armando Galarraga...had a perfect game going into the 9th...yup, another one this season...and got to one out of accomplishing the feat...grounder to the 1B, who tosses the ball to AG for the putout...out!...oops, the ump calls the runner safe!!!  Replays show that he was out...and thus, lost his place in baseball history...the ump sees the replay and met with AG later and felt horrible and apologized to the poor kid...I'm not down on the ump, I am down on bb, that refuses to use technology...every other sport does...fix it MLB...
Johan Van Der Sloot...what do you think?  He is a man of interest in a girl's death, this time in Peru...he all but admitted his guilt in the Nat Holloway death in a sting...a tragedy that he is on the loose...that's of course, he is guilty...but, please....
Back to baseball...allow the manager 2 challenges during the game...that's all it would take...
Tonight it starts...the champ series in the elongated NBA playoffs...SI says the Celts....Crazy Horse says the Lakers...bet the farm...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
