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...

Today was Veterans Day.

I hope you thanked a vet.

I was going through some old pictures and I found this one of Trump being a high school bully and mocking a crippled guy.

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.

  I feel bad for the guy. He did the right thing.

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.

It's been a busy few days.

Yesterday and today were kinda busy. Tomorrow doesn't look like it's going to be any less busy.

Being busy is better than being bored.
