Fork in the Road
In the years prior to all this talk about 'roids, analytics, juiced balls, juiced bats, torpedo ones, even, Tommy John surgery...there was a time of elite in Major League Baseball...of the Damn Yankees, the New York Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers that dominated the game...and the news...for youse old timers, er, elders, and now the baseball card nuts who must have the old Topps stuff...there was this cat called Yogi...
Catcher, and really, an OF at times, for them Yankees...Yogi Berra...that was tiny for ways and means of a modern day catcher...who was always talking...in some form, once called gibberish...slang thangs...well, he was credited with this one...."when you get to the fork in the road, take it"...it was representative of many of the sayings he was ascribed to...
There is a story to it...and wouldn't you know...'it was taken out of context'...ha ha, another saying that is credited to almost all politicians at one time or the other...I digress...here we go...Yogi was having a dinner at his place...yes, his invited guests, many did not know where he lived...so, he gave them directions..turns out that he lived on a cult-e sac...and it had two ways of getting there...there indeed was a 'Fork in the Road'...thing is, you could go to the left and get there...or, you could go to the right and get there...
Thus, take the 'Fork in the Road!'...

How can a NBA team, on it's way to the finals...in the playoffs, get beat by 42?...talk about 'mailing it in'...if this is what the game has got to...play the best of 5...not 7...
I'm going to anger some of you on this...watched the Fever/Liberty game on the pixels yesterday...the WNBA...the pride and joy of the league, Caitlyn Clark...for as talented as she is, I can't stand to watch her play...what, Horse?...her body language is perfectly awful...I can compare her to Russell Westbrook...of the NBA...who I detest...NY was much the class act and deserved the W...
The Friars squelched the King start, and went with a RP game instead...bad move, and we got pummeled by the Hotlanta team...lucky it was only 7-1...
