What a glorious feeling...oh my, now THAT is taking you back into time...WAY back...Singing in the Rain...what the mighty Padres were doing in the Bronx last eve...holding on to another, yup, another one run win...as closer, Kirby Yates, gets his 21st save out of 21 tries...woah...the game was like weird, wack...at one time, Mgr Green used 4 pitchers in ONE inning...I thought he was trying to elongate the time used, so the game might be called due to the RAIN...almost backfired, as the Umps kept it going...lastly, the use of reviews, helped end the game, on...another blown call at first base...nice to get it right...ah, NFL, are you hearing this?...
The Futures are way down this am...buckle up buddies...this will be a frightful day on the markets...
You have a prediction on the NBA final series?...last I heard was that you would have to put up $300, to win $100 in Vegas...if you want to wager on the Warriors...enuff said...
The 'one and done' rule for kids making it to the NBA...may be kaput in 2020...maybe...this is the idea that a player needs to play a year of college ball prior to being drafted into the pros...go to classes...yea, right...one such lad, has gone a diff route...signed to play pro ball, right outta high school, in New Zealand...then, enter in the draft a year later...there are pro leagues throughout the world...that will take them right now...Europe, China (if Trump will let them go), and on and on...
Speaking of Trump...will he have an opponent in the Repub side of things for 2020?...will he still be living in the White House?...here is news for the day...in all of my 20 something sources, nothing that he has Tweeted has made the headlines...even on his FOX news...
To be fair and balanced...there are like 23 or 24 candy people for the Demo side of things...right?...but, Joe Biden appears to be head and shoulders above the rest...at this point...I say, let them go behind the stage and have it out...winner emerge and let's get the country back on course...
My story about the numbers who are attempting to climb Mt Everest yesterday...just got word that the actress Mandy Moore is about to try her luck there, too...at the base camp now...what?...
Quick now, can you tell me who Nick Nurse is?...
LaLa Lakers...a screaming tell all about the dysfunctional organization came out...management gone awry...backstabbing...the team's direction in a mess...who is running what?...fact is, they made a huge mistake in taking in the over the hill LeBron James...who thinks he is at his best, in his mind...father time, hoops wise, has hit...obviously he is hard to handle...and this team, is truly, screwed up...what makes it even worse for them...the other LaLa franchise, the Clippers, are on the upswing...too many peops are thinking that Kawhi is gonna land there, with the Clip Joint, this summer...
In this era of launch angle hitting in the big league...more and more teams, are going for the home runs, in lieu of the line drives...the hit and run...the bunt...to advance runners...so on and so forth...the hitters are like at .240...I suppose equating that to the 3 ball in the NBA...so, for most of the game...we just sit and watch most of the blokes strike out...waiting for the occasional dinger...the home run, kids...
I find it boring...like I do the NBA...gone is the production of moving runners...gone is the movement of the players in hoops...the home run and the 3 ball, eerily too similar...ruining the games...
Naturally, what you get in MLB...are blokes who finally hit one out of the stadium...stand there and gawk at their prowess...the other team gets mad for the showboating...and next time up, a ball goes right by his head...some things don't change...ha ha...
One dude taking it to extremes is the player from the Cincinnati Redlegs, Derek Dietrich...who hits them...then stands there and poses...good lawdy, he plays in Cincy, where the porch is shorter than most...12 of his last 17 hits have been home runs...he's hot, but the game is not...
Oh my, just saw our lineup for the rubber game at NY....we have Myers leading off...what don't I see that the Padres do?....
Maybe it will be rained out...
Finally this...and this is absolutely SHOCKING!...that most people get their daily news from...FACEBOOK...yes, and the numbers are staggering...67%!!!...not from the newspaper, not from the pixels...but from the web net and the social media site...but, primarily from FACEBOOK...
maybe, just maybe, I have more readers than I think...thank you for following me...and, of course, pass me on...
