Ump, You're Blind


'Ump, you're blind'
...that was then and this is now...'C'mon blue, open your eyes'...no other sport on every single play, there is a judgment on it...beisbol...a strike, ball, a foul, an out, a safe call, a HR acknowledgement, you get warned, you get tossed, you get checked for illegal stuff on you, or on your glove or bat or cap or belt...and after all that, there is the eye in the sky that can be used to see if blue was right...er, the ump was...I probably left something out, but it is covered...they totally dominate the game...it's like having 4 parents watching your every move...'Don't do that, Johnny'...

Don't get me going on the strike zone...the ever moving place that pitchers and batters try to rule...or strive for...seemingly every zone differs by the bloke who is behind the plate...the ump, the blind ump, blue, who knew?...and the bad ones have a trigger temper...just a waiting for someone to question his almighty call...so he can throw the player or coach out of the stadium...gloriously...does so with great pride...it's the only spot in the game, where there is no review...nobody can review a strike or ball pitch...freedom at last....ask for help?...110 feet away, the blind guy stationed on the baseline makes the call...shoot, they should ask the fan 40 feet away...just as reliable...

Football, basketball, soccer, hockey, and whatever...the refs MAY make a call..other than blowing their whistle...but leave their hankies in tow, or throw their arm up in disgust, for a foul...but not on every single, dang play of the game...

In essence, if you want full control of a game...feel the need...get yourself a rule book...study it...and head on down to the local association and apply for the gig...they need new blood, perhaps, yours...

Gots to talk MLB West...as the Bums finally overtook the Giants for 1st...they are better...it's true...however, in the last month of the season, we have a gaggle of games with both of them...if successful, we can get into the playoffs...long shot?...probably, but playing 'em one at a time...you never know...are you a betting person?...

Couple of things that loom large this am...taking the White Rabbit into a shop for adjustments on the tranny...and getting the booster shot...and so it goes...results?...$1880 and she be done right...

September, yes, in September...no.2...in 2021...the anniversary month...47...wooah...

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...
