Haven't written in a while since my team is bascially entrenched in the third division and if I am real good and eat my vegetables, I can make it into the second division...no pitching, et al. Yeah! https://memeguy.com/photos/images/eat-your-vegetables-154564.gif But with today being the baseball ve...

Braves acquired 2B Robinson Canó from the Padres for cash considerations. Canó re-signed a minor league deal with the Padres back on June 10, but didn't earn a promotion to the big leagues. He hit just .094/.121/.094 with 10 strikeouts in 33 plate appearances with the Padres at the big league level....

You are, as you most always are, correct. The (rag, fish wrap) Atlanta Journal-Constitiution was also this AM posting the conundrum as Strider, with his 100 pitch effort last night, has reached about 2/3rds of his prior year usage. Obviously, the ASB will allow the Braves to set their starter schedu...

One of my favorite actors passed away. James Edmund Caan (March 26, 1940 – July 6, 2022). He was in so many of my favorite movies, but the media is focusing on the role of Sonny Corleone in The Godfather (1972), following which he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and the...

Dan, How far up would you put Spencer "Porn Star" Strider? Twelve K's tonight....

Mid-point. You know your team. You’ve spent most if not all of your free agent budget chasing starting pitcher match-ups, closers du-jour, “hot” rooking call-ups. So where are you? Nailing it, just waiting for Greg and Tom to cut the check? https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-J_blgeEk3TU/Ua3xY5STcKI/...

The other night, Christian Walker hit a home run. The broadcaster said "Walker's great year continues!" Walker is hitting Mendoza, .200 Hi...I'm Wayne Edwards...I am suffering from Christian Walker! https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.53cdb868a5e3e87c190c2791bc09829e?rik=S6b%2bblwiOw2xfA&pid=ImgRaw&r=0 Tie...

The Golden Age really was the Golden Age, wasn't it. So, who are the players today then with the greatest chance of being that consistent HR hitter? From a list of ball players 27 years or younger with at least 100 HR maybe (Name, Age, HR to date): Bellinger - 26 - 142 Sucking swamp water the last t...

In these early days of retirement, my routine is still forming. As a matter of fact, I am only now just beginning to feel nearly “retired”. Up until now, it has been more like a working-age vacation. You know what I mean. When working, you take a week or ten days off, but you (or at least I) never f...

OK...they seem to have run....

Is it just me, but it does not seem the bids have run...

So what do you guys think of Riley Greene? The Detroit phenom was available in my league, one of 12 leagues where he was avaiable. He is now owned in 100% of the leagues, so there is something there worth speculating. This week, he went for big bucks, especially as we are now getting close to mid po...

Way to go Mark!

First and foremost, for those with the equipment and who used them properly, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! https://media.tenor.com/images/5f0da8bb23f9e663d61d22fca2250250/tenor.gif Here is hoping you got your favorite “Soap-on-a-Rope” and homemade cards worthy of placement at MOMA…. I didn’t post last week be...

He's baaaack! The crowd goes wild... https://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Applause-GIF-Image-for-Whatsapp-and-Facebook-32.gif Good blog Dan! Not surprising but I am in total agreement. My wife and I were watching the Braves (more fun recently as they have been whupping up on the little le...

Week 9 Man, getting healthy will kill you. They closed the pool for maintenance but even with that lost week I am swimming greater distances. Slowly. The grandmothers in the lanes next to me are no longer giggling, but I think they are calling me “위대한 흰 고래” which means “Great White Whale”. That is o...

AWESOME Mark!

Other thoughts…. Has Mookie been hot or what?! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/72/3b/2e/723b2ecc31016737e3e9834c200736a1.gif How can the Marlins score 26 runs in a double header and only get one win? Or rather, how can Colorado give up 26 runs in a double header and get one win?! Bombs away…. https:/...

My team is a bit of a… https://i.pinimg.com/originals/40/4c/20/404c206f190d90b7488fa6af40495cc3.gif So I am taking a bit of a brake from bitching and moaning. Just some observations…. Went to the Gwinnett Strip(p)ers game last night, versus the AAA franchise of the Cincinnati Reds, the Louisville Ba...

Glad you like them Dan...Sorry about the Ultimate!

Well, that certainly was fun. It is always tough when our plans unravel. The team is dropping like a rock, so right now I feel like I am left arranging deck chairs… https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/walkingdead/images/c/cd/Sinking_ship.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170815055501 My average stats (BA, ER...

The chaotic finish to the 2020 election raised fears of election security in Georgia, something the state's Republican majority attempted to tackle by passing the Election Integrity Act of 2021. Republicans argued that the bill would both secure future elections in the state while making it easier t...

Great news Dan! Glad all is well. FYI but probably TMI, but the next time I swim, I am going back to the trunks and on the flip turn, I am planning on testing Granny's eyes with the FULL moon shot!

Baseball is weird and you gotta love it! Interesting for all (except Reds fans) in retrospect (probably boring to watch) is a combined no-hitter that Cincinnati loses on three consecutive walks and a fielders choice that should have been a double play. Total in the game…four hits and one run…like no...

I haven't seen Dan Kenyon on the Boards lately...Dan...you OK? Anybody know?
