THE Error

-
It's the name in the news...and I can remember that situation like it was yesterday...as we were at a Coaches getaway...talking about the upcoming season...'86 World Series...as I was a Met fan at the time...I suppose I have wavered my allegiances so much over the years...you know when your base is in Oregon, you just may change teams often...it was a BIG DEAL to go and see a Big League game...I digress...Mookie Wilson was at bat...and the Red Sox sent out BILL BUCKNER  to 1B to keep his bat in the lineup...a very good hitter...yet, he was hobbled due to an injury...and Mook hit a curling squiggly grounder to him...and it worked it's way through the legs of Buckner...which led to the winning rally by the Mets...which I was jumping up and down about...this was game 6...NY won the 7th and the Series...

In Boston, it was a tragedy...and moreso for Buckner...as he was saddled with infamy...as the biggest blooper in the history of the franchise...and for years...I mean YEARS...the town would NOT FORGET!...and geez, I won't let you either...

I bring this up because...the Padres have brought up to pitch today...Billy Buckner...and believe it or not...he is no relation to the infamous one...well, his daddy must have been thinking otherwise when he named him Billy...right?...have to admit, I have never ever heard of him...there has been no mention of him in the Trib...weird...

I tell you each and every time I really rip the Pads, they respond with uncommon force...as they put eleven...11! runs on the board and beat the Cubbies in game 2 of the series...go figure...we go against the fireballer Travis Wood tonight...not a good situation normally...but he has yet to beat SD...hmmm...and...we are favored yet again...don't ever bet on MLB...

 The NBA kicks back up again today...as the Heat host the Pacers...can't imagine Indy winning...so bet all your life savings on Miami....wait, don't...you never know...

I do like the retro Padre jerseys better than the modern day ones...

Have an error free Saturday...

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......
