A loss, a gain and a mistake

The Bruins got their ass kicked the other day, losing 5-2 to the Canadiens.

And they did it wearing the ugliest uniforms ever seen on a hockey rink:

Their next game is this evening against the Wild. Puck drops at 7:00pm.

The Red Sox added another first baseman, signing Jake Bauers to a 4 year contract.

This is an interesting signing because he's a known good hitter and a decent first baseman but the Red Sox have a guy playing first who is a good hitter. I think this will result in Contreras and Bauer tag-teaming at first and DH which is a good thing. Problem is someone has to go to make room for him on the roster. I suspect that we may have seen the last of Duran or Yoshida.

I guess we'll know more about what is going through Breslows head in the next few days because at midnight on Decmber 1^st, the MLB season gets put on hold while ownership and the MLBPA start pissing on each other over who is going to get more money this coming season.

The NFL's latest mistake (holding games in Europe) will take place tomorrow when the Patriots take on the Lions in Munich.

Kickoff is at 9:30 in the morning.

I can't speak for the rest of the world but I know I'm not drinking beer and watching football at 9:30 in the morning...

Dear Democrats,

Trust me, you are going to let us down. You think you won because of your socialist leanings but in reality you won because Trump is an asshole and people are sick of his shit. If you start doing all the crap you did under Biden, you will get tossed out on your ass during the next election cycle.

Can I suggest you start looking at what the average working stiff wants instead of jumping on all the fringe crap that you spent all your time shoving down our throats during the Biden and Obama administrations.

Sincerely,
Me.

No manager of the year for Tracy

Chad Tracy did not win the MLB Manager of the Year award even though I think he should have.

It's like those people don't even listen to me...

I just wanted to remind everyone about that.

No Rookie of the Year for Tolle

Payton Tolle should have won the Rookie of the Year award but the voters (the baseball writers) felt otherwise.

I think it would have been nice to see him get recognized for becoming one of the preeminent pitchers in MLB.

Hopefully Tracy wins the Manager of the Year award tonight.

That was awful

Yesterday, I watched the Patriots fail at almost every aspect of the game of football while the Packers played a great game and took advantage of every mistake the Patriots made.

When the game ended, the score was 45-27 in favor of the Packers. Now I'm not saying the Patriots didn't deserve the 27 points they got but I am saying the Packers wouldn't have gotten 45 points if the Patriots didn't keep handing them the ball.

I would not want to be a Patriot player during practice this week because I'm pretty sure Vrabel and his staff are not happy.

Next up for the Patriots is a trip to Munich Germany where they will play the Detroit Lions. Don't ask me why they need to go to Germany to play the Detroit football team. Seems like a complete waste of time and energy. The Patriots are considered the "home team" and I'm betting most of the players have never set foot in Munich.

It's been about a month since Dementia Donny said he was going to violate the law and buy diesel from Russia. I asked google's AI how much diesel fuel has the US received from Russia. This is what it said:

So none...

Also, he has started his lie-machine about the mid-term election:

He knows that the more he repeats a lie, the more the people will believe it is the truth

Yep, another busy day.

We left our house at 4:50 this morning and drove out to Boston to hang out with our granddaughter and daughter-in-law while our son ran a half-marathon.

It was his first sanctioned event and it was put on by the BAA. That is the same organization that runs the Boston Marathon. He was quite successful, completing the run in 2 hours and 1 minute.

That, as far as I'm concerned, is a pretty good time to run 13.1 miles. That works out to roughly 9¼ minutes per mile.

More importantly, we spent several hours being entertainined by our granddaughter who loved clapping and cheering for all the runners as they ran by.

The Bruins won this afternoon, beating the Panthers 4-1 in regulation. This gives them a 4-game winning streak, maintains their 2 point lead in the Atlantic division and gives them sole possesion of second place iun the Eastern conference.

They are off now until Thursday when they will take on the Canadiens.

⧫
As I type, the Packers are in Foxboro playing the Patriots and so far, the Patriots suck.

The Patriots started the game on offense and Maye threw an interception within the first two minutes that resulted in a Packers score.

Then, with their second possesion, Maye got sacked on the third down and they were forced to punt, giving the ball back to the Packers who once again, scored.

Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the score was 14-0 Packers...

I really hope things go better over the next 3 quarters.
