Da Cubbies

I think we need some good news out of Chi-town for a bit...for sure, it is the incredibly solid and talented Cubbies!...they have the hitting, pitching, and closing aspects of the game down...with a quirk of a manager...to keep them off center...and fresh...not tight...and oh my, how about the band wagon appeal of the team! (right Shink?)...a few years back, my son and I were at spring training in Phoenix...we saw a number of teams...play...no more passionate were da Cubbie fans...at that time, very frustrated, yet loyal ones...it's their time...to rejoice and finally get their due...

The Tennessee Titans were at Oakland last night...and our Duck QB Mariota got to play the entire 1st half...splendidly...this is a new team, kids...with 2 RB's...one being the former Cowboy, DeMarco Murray, and the other the Heisman Winner out of 'Bama, Derrick Henry...with a beefed up line...they were at times in mid-season form in their whupping of the Raiders...the D?...still iffy...and there are holes to fill...but vastly improved team, kids...

We were looking for a new movie to catch...on Netflix...settled on a series that is called "Marcella"...set in London...wowser, it is all over the place...kind of cool...thing is, it's hard to hear and understand the dialect...they keep adding more and more characters...I'm sure it all ties together...we are just though the 2nd chapter...you heard of this?...

Did you know that the college team, North Dakota St., actually has a dome to play in?...of course, they have won their championship 5 straight years...and their QB was the 2nd pick in the latest NFL draft...or, was it 1st?...one of them...anyhoo...they played another in their division, out of Carolina...one of them...and won in OT....boooooring....sorry, kids, but true...

The VMA's are on tonight...ah yes. the cream of the crop...expect your gurl Britney, to lypsinc and gyrate her new "song" to the nation...and I hope Kanye is doing his new one, too...he is such a joy to watch perform...Taylor?...kind of been lambasted lately in the media...doubt if she is to be there...the Biebs?...man...you have a lot to look forward to...right?...

About this time of the season, where the tempers are hard to quell...in the extremely over extended season of beisbol...by the players and the umps...witness the debacle in Detroit...well, the Tigers were playing...and 4 of them got the heave ho...or where the Nat's mercurial OF and over -rated hitter, Bryce Harper, went off on blue over a pitch call...he gone...used to be...would happen all the time, prior to instant replay...BTW, does that make the game better or worse?...hey...the AAA Pads won 1-0 over the Fish in Miami...behind a dinger by Detlev Schimpf...and strong pitching by a retread, Clayton Richard...who I once called a human punching bag, when he was here the last time around...he used to get hit sooooo hard...the opponent today?...Cashner goes against his old buddies...BTW, without face hair!...ha ha...

You following any of the golf?...that Thai gal is at it again...lawdy, I can't even say or write her name...but she is gooooood...and Ricky has forged ahead of the rascal, Reid, er is it Reed?...anyway, they both need a win to qualify for the Ryder Cup Team...good stuff...figure the other dude will be a captain's (Love, yet again, boo) pick...

 The "hot item" of the day...when the National Anthem is played...it is assumed you will stop and face the flag...my golf group even stopped and did the same when we were playing at Balboa GC, as it was played from the nearby Naval Hospital...however, the SF 49er QB Colin Kaepernik, chose to not stand and honor it...claiming the oppression of all colored people in the US is not right...disrespectful?...what say you?...

OK, have to figure out what is for breakfast...

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...
