Base Brawl (s)


Is it that time of the baseball season...ALREADY?...where boys will be boys...get upset with another team...show their disgust...with an all out, 25 boy roster, + 5 or 8 coaches...meeting in the middle of the diamond...and throw some punches!...a spike slide here, a hit by pitch there, a ball going behind the head...and BOOM!...here they go again...

Happened twice yesterday in the Bigs...first was the Yankees and the Red Sox...'the spikegate' started their bout...as the NY dude slid into 2nd and into the Bosox bloke's calf...cheap shot, for sure...benches emptied and no punches thrown...until...the NY dude who was the slider, came to the plate...and got pummeled in the back with a pitch...he charged the mound and there you go...brouhaha...

Then our own Padres...got the hit by pitch twice...one that actually took out our starting CF, Margot, for a 10 day DL in his ribs...and in the next game, our RF Renfroe, who hit the game winner, the night prior, got tagged in the wrist the next day...cheap shots...of course, when the Rockies came to the plate, there was a 'message' thrown...behind the batter...well, that kid went berserk...threw a roundhouse that missed...luckily...and the benches cleared...

Seems a bit early for this type of feelings...if you have an opportunity...watch what the umpires do...get outta the way...and just observe...hmmm, see any similarities to those who officiate hockey?...in hoops, they get in the middle and stop it...or try to...

Other...

POTUS sort of backed off from his imminent attack of Syria...calmer heads prevailed?...or did the rest of his cabinet (?) talk him down?...he is listening to them, right?...

Chuckled a bit about an ad I saw...vintage shirt...wait a minute, is that supposed to be 'used?'...or, is it made to resemble a shirt from the past?...a nehru collared one?...remember them?...

Is there more to the story on Paul Ryans departure from Congress?...or is he just burned out?...odd?...I'm thinking time will tell us more...

The NBA playoffs are set...and those teams that did not make it...do the unfortunate normal...fire their coach...two did so immediately....the Knicks and the Magic...hmmm, after only 2 years at the helm...that is total BS...if any, get rid of the GM...especially in the NBA, it is ALL about the talent you have, NOT the system you run...sorry, kids, but that's the truth...

The midwest is to get like up to a foot of snow today...what?...all the way up to Minnneessota...geez, and we were basking in the sun at the pool...and then swimming in it....I just realized that the management here, is keeping the temp up...yea...I will use it more...now...

The now defunct Toys R Us...after selling off their merchandise...so...they have one more sale to go through...the property that these structures are on...and they are having trouble doing so...usually, they are free standing ones...not like many other businesses who have gone kaput...inside of a mall...

Finally, out and about with them Mackles last eve...and my point?...the Horse sipped on the real Pappy...a once in a great while thinger...and it was mighty fine, kids...jealous?...

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...
