So much for the divisional race

The Bruins lost to the Blues last night. The Lightening also lost so that means the Bruins remain one point behind them in the first wild card slot.

The problem is that there are only nine games left in the season. It's going to be difficult for them to overtake the Lightening and pretty much impossible for them to overtake the Maple Leafs.


The Red Sox batters finally figured out what their bats are for and they hit the shit out of their old teammate, Eduardo Rodriguez, this afternoon. He made it through three innings with the score tied 1-1 but in the fourth inning, the Red Sox scored six huge runs, taking a 7-1 lead.

Eovaldi made it 101 pitches through five innings and left the game with the score 7-2. The bullpen took over and they combined to give up five runs over four innings while the Red Sox hitters managed to score two more runs. The game ended with the score 9-7 in favor of the Red Sox.

I'm still uncertain about the new guy, Story. I'm not saying I'm disappointed in him but I'm not standing on a podium speechifying about how great he is either.

When they signed him, he was hyped as a big hitter but here we are six games into the season and he finally got his first hit today. That is not a sign of a guy who is a big hitter.


Key phrase on this anniversary: "Okay Houston, we’ve had a problem here."

Fifty two years ago today, three guys wearing diapers damned near shit themselves when the aluminum can they were sitting in experienced a catastrophic failure of an oxygen tank. The tank exploded and came very close to ripping open the command module & exposing them to the vacuum of space.

Actually, if I remember correctly, they didn't react to the explosion with stress or anxiety at all. They remained calm and focused on their job, which was to secure the spacecraft and repair what they could so they could live long enough to make it back to earth.


Take a look at your lawn mower and see if you can find a sticker that gives you operating & maintenance instructions. This is the sticker on my lawn tractor:
I’m showing you this so you’ll understand why Biden allowing the sale of gasoline that contains 15% ethanol during the summer months might just cost you money.

Read the last sentence on that sticker and note the capitalized "DO NOT" at the beginning. That is an emphatic way of telling you that using 15% ethanol is bad for your engine.


Not sure what I'm doing for dinner. If you have any good ideas, let me know.
