Yes sir.... Angrier and more cynical than ever. Are you still shooting squirrels and hanging them from your wife’s trees? Like Christmas ornaments....  Bumper Pear crop this year too, despite all the damned rain. |

My wife didn’t want me shooting the squirrels until they started coming into her flower beds and eating her sunflowers. Once they started that, it was open season. |

Shoes on the different foot now huh? You know I prescribe to the cute little axiom of God's little creatures. If the buggers would have just swiped a pear, and ate most of it, I'd have looked the other way. But... their malicious taking one bite out of 50 pears was going to far, and required retribution. I think I told the story about my wife's friend threatening me that she was going to call PETA and the City for this henious crime. I called her bluff. |

I have a family of foxes that take peaches off my trees every year. They are neat thou as they stack the pits in little piles each night. |

LOL I had a great year this year with the one fig tree I have. Not enough room to grow more here. Out east they have Peaches and stuff but they aren't as good as the ones down south especially the Georgia ones

I hope the Astros have made a mental note that:
(1) Man on 3rd
(2) Less than 2 outs.
(3) Hit to the right side
Means running to first base on the grass inside the line. Even 3 feet, no matter how bad the obstruction.
Precedent has obviously been set.

People still live in that narrative that baseball was just people singing, dancing, and holding hands in the meadow under a big rainbow until Luhnow came to town.
“What is this nonsense? Get me Cora and Beltrán on the phone now! They’ll know what to do about this harmony!”

I'd never heard of he guy either, and honestly had to look him up in BB Reference. My take is he is their AAA+ mop up guy making who just happens to be making a wild ass accusation just to get some attention. |

Boston advances. Man, I hope we can seal the deal today and get a little bit more rest. Everything is continuing to set up very nicely for the Astros if they can do their job and knock off the White Sox quickly.

Bumper Pear crop this year too, despite all the damned rain.
