They can't but they can
Last night, they couldn't pitch and they certainly couldn't hit.
I don't want to say that Bello sucked but I will say, "Bello was really [insert very bad word] awful! He gave up three home runs in the first inning. Then he gave up two more home runs in the third and fourth innings."
At one point, Cora went out to the mound and I thought maybe he was going to pull Bello. I was wrong. He didn't walk out to the mound to take Bello out of the game, he apparently just wanted to chit-chat. A few minutes after that, my son and I had the following text exchange:
My son is a funny guy.
With last night's 10-3 loss to the Orioles, they were once again tied for last place in the American League:
⧫
Today's baseball game was supposed to be played at 4:05 but the weather in Baltimore was predicted to be pretty bad so they decided to move the start time to 12:05.
Crochet had the start and he was, to use an old phrase, lights out good. He faced 22 batters over 6 innings, giving up 3 hits, walking 2 and striking out 7 while allowing 0 runs.
But the big change in the Red Sox was the offense. The batters hit the ball and got on base. More importantly, they drove in runs.
Lots of runs.
When the game ended, the score was 17-1 in favor of the Red Sox and they moved up in the standings to second-to-last place. If the Royals win tonight, the Red Sox will again be tied for last place but it will be a three-way tie.
⧫
The funny thing about math is that it is what it is. It is not something that is based on a particular time or a certain place and it certainly isn't opinion.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division work the same for all of us no matter where we are or who we are and it has been that way since the the first proto-human realized that if he had one bug and he caught another bug, he would have two bugs.
Yes sir, the one thing we can all rely on is that no matter what the situation, 2+2=4, 6-3=3, 10*10=100 and 32÷4=8.
Those formulas, along with every other math formula, are the same for all of us.
I think we can all agree that if someone says 2+2=5, they are either be a moron or a lying sack of shit.
I'm just going to put this out there and let you decide if Dementia Donny and Brainworm Bobby are morons or lying sacks of shit:
And that is not some fake, made-up meme, the guy actually said that. Out loud. In front of people. While under oath.
If you really want to go on a rollercoaster ride, you should read Bobby's Wikipedia page. It's a riot.
The last line in the paragraph highlighting his efforts to have the Indian Point nuclear power plant shut down is:
In closing, let me remind you that these people are running our government...

Another bad day.
Last night, the city of Boston smelled like losers. Both the Bruins and the Red Sox managed to fail in their quest to win their respective sporting events.
It was hard to watch...
The Red Sox are in Baltimore to start a 3-game series against the Orioles. Bello has the start and first pitch is at 7:05pm.
The Bruins are off until Sunday.
⧫
We attended a wake for a young man this afternoon. I didn't know him but I know his sister and she spent a large portion of her life taking care of him.
He needed constant care and she provided it like he was her son even though he was her older brother.
In other words, this hits her like a mother losing a child and I feel bad for her.

- How is it possible for a rational, ethical and moral human being to make the decision to beat his wife to death. And please don't give me this, "heat of the moment" crap.
- Why did this guy get such a low bail?
- Maybe this guy will be of some help to the offensive line.
- Once again, the democrats in this state think we are all made of money and can afford to pay for whatever they want.

Anther one bites the dust
I gotta be honest with you, I personally think that Hairball Pete firing the Secretary of the Navy is not a bad thing. It's not a good thing but it's also not a bad thing.
John Phelan was appointed to be the Secretary of the Navy by Dementia Donny despite him having no military experience whatsoever.
The guy spent a year or so fellating The Very Stable Genius and that was enough for Trump put him in charge of the most powerful navy on the planet.
Then again, he nominated an idiotic "bro" news reporter as the Secretary of Defense and a guy with a worm in his brain as the Secretary of Health and Human Services so I guess it shouldn't have surprised anyone he put a guy with no military experience in one of the highest positions in the military.
But anyways, Headshot Hegseth has decided that he only wants people who do exactly what he says without question so he fired the guy. I'm sure this action doesn't have any impact on the navy while it is trying to fight a war in the middle east...
Oh, and for the record, some guy name Hung Cao, who actually served 30 years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a captain, will take over as Acting Secretary of the Navy. To be honest with you, he seems way more qualified for that job than the fired guy
For those of you interested, here is the current list of people fired by Dementia Donny during this term:
The list of people he fired or who resigned during his first term is really long and I don't feel like formatting it for this post. Here are some of the more notable folks from that time period:
Dementia Donny can't seem to get along with anybody including his wives.
He'll probably fire her soon and somehow or another talk his daughter into moving in with him.
⧫
In baseball news, the Red Sox still suck.
The only thing that can be said good about them is they are not the Mets, the Phillies or the Royals...
They play the third game in their 3-game series against the Yankees this evening. First pitch is at 6:10.
⧫
As I told my son this afternoon, I probably won't be watching much of the Red Sox since the Bruins and Sabres will play game 3 tonight.
Puck drops at 7:00 and I'm really hoping the Bruins win the next two games at home. Going back to Buffalo with a 3-1 lead in the series would be great.

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry
National Security Advisor John Bolton
Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Hailey
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly
Secretary of Defense James Mattis
White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci

Dementia Donny can't seem to get along with anybody including his wives.
-

Melania (Knauss) Trump who he started dating while married to second wife. Married 2005-present
At some point he mentioned wanting to have sex with his daughter Ivanka. Current status unknown.
He'll probably fire her soon and somehow or another talk his daughter into moving in with him.

A win and a loss
The Red Sox can 't score a [insert really bad word here] run to save their lives. They got shutout 4-0 by the Yankees last night.
Early gave them a decent outing, facing 23 batters over 5⅓ innings. He gave up 3 earned runs, 3 walks and struck out 4 so not terrible.
They are back at it again tonight, weather permiting. First pitch is at 6:45 and my youngest will be at the game with his boss.
Hopefully they win.
⧫
The Bruins managed to hold off another Sabres third period rally and won 4-2 last night.
I have to admit to not watching a lot of the game because I got wrapped up in the Red Sox but from what I can see in the recap, they matched the Sabres in penalties and managed to score a power play goal.
The series is now tied at 1-1.
Here are the standings in round 1 as of this morning:
The Bruins and Sabres will play the next 2 games in Boston. Puck drops at 7:00 tomorrow evening
⧫
Time for an update on my newest grandchild:
So as to not overlook the older grandchildren:
This has been your update on our grandchildren.
I am, as always, the proud grandpa.

Time for an update on my newest grandchild:
-
She is growing like a baby should which means a constant stream of new clothing must be given to her.
Her father and I have declared her to be a Baby Genius and I suspect she will be doing complex math in the next month or so.
Seriously, she is doing great and her mom & dad are being great parents.
So as to not overlook the older grandchildren:
-
Our grandson, the oldest, is in kindergarten and doing great.
His sister, our middle grandchild, is in pre-school and doing great.
This has been your update on our grandchildren.
I am, as always, the proud grandpa.
Here are some links:
- The President of Peace is really doing a great job.
- Key line in this story about the never-ending saga of Crash Patel and His Frivolous Lawsuits: "The dismissal came a day after Patel filed an unrelated $250 million defamation lawsuit in D.C. federal court against The Atlantic magazine over a new article that alleged he has abused alcohol."
- If the U.S. has so much oil & gasoline that we are loading tankers and sending them overseas, why is gasoline so expensive.
- Yet another alleged, maybe, could be, possibility that Mars once had life.
