  1. If being “smart” is paying Verlander $80 million+ for 2/3 of a season plus two lottery tickets, well, call me stupid.
  2. That photo always cracks me up. Never would have expected to see the Duke in espadrilles, shorty shorts, and a cowboy hat. And would like to see more of the gal that he was ogling. Would love to know the story of how that ended up
  3. I had a baked potato Friday night, and, thinking ahead I saved the remains. Needed a snack Saturday, so broke the remains down, added butter, cheese, salt and pepper, and under the broiler. May be a few left over bacon bits under the cheese. It’s the simple things in life that make it worth living.
  4. Fourth of July homemade biscuits with sausage gravy. ‘Merica
  5. Yeah, I’ve got to hand it to Pierce. He recognized the hot hand and decided to ride it till the end. So many coaches or managers seem to have a hard stop at 100 pitches. Or even at approaching 100 pitches. I understand trying to protect your asset, but this late in the season, these guys are plenty capable of going until they aren’t effective anymore. And, by God, was LBJ effective. It would have been criminal to have taken him out of the game while he was still mowing them down. I was worried that Pierce would pull LBJ after 7, then after 8, because of the pitch count. As I’m sure many others were. Good coaching decision by David Pierce to let his pitcher that was in control keep pitching.
  6. Okay, I’ve been an avid baseball fan for over 50 years and never knew of that ordinary effort nuance regarding a throw. One is never too old to learn. Just seems silly to me that Maton got charged for that earned run on Bregman’s throwing error, said throw having handily beaten the runner.
