Excellent win

The Red Sox beat the Royals 4-1 last night. That gave them the series win.

They are off today while they travel to Arlington, TX where tomorrow they will start a 3-game series against the Rangers.

Dementia Donny is claiming that the reason oil and gasoline prices are high is because of Goofy Joe.

The man believes everything he says. He is convinced that everything that is wrong with our world is the fault of anyone other than him.

Trump has been in office for 1½ years and I'm positive that the price of a gallon of gasoline was $2.84 about 9 months ago. I'm also positive that there were no issues with any ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

All of these issues started when Donny Boy decided to launch an attack on Iran and then half-ass it when he realized they weren't going to roll-over and capitulate.

  Good job there Donny Boy...



• The Red Sox have tough schedule for the rest of the season.

Delayed game

Today's baseball game was scheduled for 1:05 but ended up starting at 4:55 because of rain.

Right now it is the top of the 4^th inning and the score is 1-0 in favor of the Red Sox.

In one of the rarest feats in baseball, Tolle threw an immaculate first inning. For those of you that are not baseball people, that is 9 pitches, 9 strikes and 3 outs.

Now if the hitters can start touching home plate, they stand a chance of winning.

They lost last night

But they won this afternoon...

Last night, the Red Sox just couldn't overcome and they lost 3-2. Grey took the loss but I thought he pitched pretty good. It was the hitters that just couldn't turn their hit's into runs.

As for today, the hitters remembered that they need to step on home plate to win and they beat the Royals 5-1.

They need the wins.

Getting closer to $5.00 a gallon...

Dementia Donny is claiming the prices will drop "right after the mid-terms".

I think he's having pre-dementia. That's where he remembers something that is never going to happen

Doesn't seem like 25 years

I was working at an office, my wife was working at a college. I was standing in a room with a few hundred of my fellow co-workers watching a TV set showing live images of the World Trade Center in New York City. One tower was on fire after being hit by a plane and, while we watched, a second plane hit the second tower.

That was when it became clear to all of us that this was no tragic accident.

I tried to call my wife but she was teaching a class and had her phone off. I left her a message and when she called me back, I told her what was happening and she should to go to the nearest ATM, withdraw as much money as the machine would allow and go home. I told her to be ready to pick up the kids from school.

We had no idea what we were seeing or who was attacking us but I wanted to be sure we could be together as a family and have cash available in case the banking system had a problem.

Within a day we had an understanding of who attacked us and our government seemed to be functioning in a sane manner. People were not only frightened, they were pissed off and we all wanted to kick someones ass.

Things haven't been the same since then but they are what they are. We seem to have accepted that the world is no longer the trusting place it once was. We also seem to have accepted that we may never get back to that world.

Like all of you, I'm just making way through this world, trying to be nice to people and trying to understand when things change.

Hell, I'm just glad I no longer have to take my shoes off to get on a plane...

Last night we went to dinner with our neighbors and it took way longer than usual.

Don't get me wrong, it was an enjoyable evening but the restaurant seemed out of sorts. Like it wasn't running at it's normal clip and as a result, things seemed to take a lot longer than they usually did.

Today was lunch with the boys and once again, we have solved all of the worlds problems.

We should run for office or something.

The Red Sox start a 3-game series against the Royals this evening. First pitch is at 7:10 and Grey has the starts.

They lost their series against the Angels, which is something that should not have happened, and as a result, they are once again 4½ games behind the Judges and 7½ games behind the Rays.

We have reached the point in the season where MLB has added the elimination column to the standings. This represents the number of games they would have to lose to be eliminated from the playoffs.

With 15 games left in the season, I really hope the Red Sox don't lose 8 of them...

No post today

Too busy for internetting.

Oh, and not only did the Red Sox lose last night, the Patriots also lost.

Not a good night for my sporting entertainment...
