They lost...

Once again, the Red Sox batters were unable to step on home plate and the Phillies won 3-1 last night.

It's getting more and more frustrating but as is always the case, I will continue to watch them play baseball.

Tonight they are in Atlanta to start a 3-game series against the Braves.

Early has the start and first pitch is at 7:15

By the way, the Braves have the best record in all of MLB so my hopes are not high for the Red Sox...

Here are some links:

• I'm not sure what they will accomplish by bringing charges against a 94 year old guy.



• Our society has gone to hell. People get upset at the dumbest shit.



• I understand why they are doing it but I don't understand how they expect to regulate peoples opinions and ideas.



• As I said the other day, "These things aren't working out very well."



• More proof that there are stupid people everywhere.

They won!

The Red Sox managed to beat the Phillies 3-1 last night thanks to a 2-run home run by Rafaela.

Todays game is curently scheduled to start at 7:05 and as of 6:30, they have taken the tarp off the field.

Nothing of note happened today, which given the current state of our government is kinda weird.

I do think Dementia Donny is gonna be pissed when he finds out the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government could not stop abortion pills from being sent through the mail. But given that I'm pretty sure they could have sent that stuff through FedEX or UPS, I didn't understand what the big deal was about blocking it in the mail.

Also, Cuba says it has run out of oil and diesel so those people are kinda screwed. Without oil or diesel, they have no way to generate electricity. Without electricity, they have no hospitals, no refrigeration and no lights.

Welcome to the stone age...

Another loss

At some point during last night's game, my son and I had the following exchange:

Yes, they lost. The Phillies beat them 2-1.

The problem wasn't pitching, it was the whole hitting and running and stepping on home plate thing that was the problem.

They'll go at it again this evening. Gray has the start and first pitch is at 6:45pm. Let's hope the batters become runners who turn into scorers.

• Africa is getting ready to fall apart.

There will be baseball

The Phillies, with their interim manager, will play the Red Sox, with their interim manager, at 6:45 this evening.

Morán will be the opener and then Bellow will come in to hopefully go at least 5 innings.

I gotta be honest with you, the Phillies do not have a great record (19-22) but it's better than the Red Sox (17-23) so my hopes are not high that the Red Sox are going to win this series.

According to the weather dweebs, it's going to rain tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. When I looked at my lawn, I realized that if I didn't mow it today, I would probably regret it come Saturday.

So I mowed my lawn.

The Red Sox did not lose today

They didn't play baseball today so they did not lose today...

Gas prices have not changed in the last week. Don't get me wrong, they still suck but at least they did not go up.

On the upside, the DJIA is up and no one knows why...

We have begun the process of opening our back porch. This involved checking all the screen for damage and cleaning them.

This coming weekend we will uncover all the furniture, check it for damage and place it all in the strategic locations.

Once that is done, I will move my lazy but out there to surf the internets for news and funny stuff while watching the hummingbirds drink sugar water.

We like our porch.

My daughter is doing some work on her house repairing / replacing a section of subfloor in a bathroom. After cutting out the piece of flooring, she went into the basement to take a good look at what she was dealing with. While doing this, she was texting me about things that she was seeing that she wanted my opinion about.

She sent me this and it made me laugh so I figured I would share it with you:
