Family stuff

My last uncle passed away the other day. He was 95 years old and he was my friend.

Marino was one of the funniest guys I knew and he always made me laugh. He was also a very intelligent guy and a writer of some merit.

He was a sports writer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he was a friend to Arnold Palmer writing the preamble to several books on Palmer, and he received recognition from the USGA, the PGA and The Masters for his contributions to the game of golf.

He couldn't golf for shit but he sure knew how to write about it.

I will miss him.


The Red Sox took an early 1-0 lead in the 1st, lost it in the 3rd and took it back in the 5th. They never gave it up again and they won 4-3.

Unfortunately, the Judges and the Blue Jays also both won so there is no change in the standings.

There was a bad thing last night and that is that Fitts had to leave the game with some kind of injury to his throwing arm. He is currently listed as day-to-day.

Today has Giolito on the mound. First pitch is at 6:35.
