I love kids. Was at a satellite clinic today. There was a kid there that was about 6 or 7. I think he wants to be a method actor when he grows up. Had one of those cat's nose masks on. When he saw me, he tried to do a roar (but sounded more like a meow), then walked up to me and sniffed my hand like he was tracking prey. He was just adorable, so I played along. His dad just looked a me without saying a word, but I read his mind..."Kids. What can ya say?"

Nobody here is from Dyersville, IA.

I was once transferred to Davenport.

You are a good American.

What were you doing in the Quad Cities?

What were you doing in the Quad Cities?

The ICRR transferred me there. My MIL did not like the idea of us moved up there, and she got me a job in Lexington. That was in 1964.

 

[Kooky Kats]

You were a rich kid.

In the 1970s, baseball players were tangible people. It all changed in the 80's when free agency took over.

I was not rich. Just lived in a town with good schools, white folks, and 20-minute car ride to the Bronx.

No, KK, the guys that you mentioned were making plenty. $1,000,000 in those years was plenty. You must have been a rich kid to live where they lived. Your folk probably kept such things from you.

Don, I truly think that is the ONE reason that there hasn't been a lightning bolt with my name on it sent down from the heavens. Somebody up there still thinks I'm redeemable (even after yesterday with the upskirt peek)!

Say 3 Hail Marys, go and sin no more.

They say the Lord works in mysterious ways. Maybe that is his way of getting you in his house.

Curt Flood was the man that changed baseball and he paid a price. He bought a bar in Palma de Marco or however you spell it. I spent Christmas and New Years of 75 in that port and drank a lot of beer and played a lot of chess there. Never got to meet him though because he was busy dodging tax folk, I think. Free agency changed the game I grew up loving.

This one is golden and maybe fool proof. But mysterious I don't think so. Just doing what it takes to gather the flock.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Did you grow up here?

It's not heaven, it's New Jersey.

Yes. Perfect. Hahahaha

Nope. I lived it.

After the '77 series Steinbrenner bought Nettles a brown custom van... $15000. That was hot shit.

Graig loved that piece of shit.

I've been in and out of the house pretty much all of my life. Thing is, I know better and can do better if I WANT to. Until the spirit can overcome the flesh, I'm gonna be me. But when that glorious day comes when I finally do what the good Lord expects me to do...there ain't a sin in all of Creation that I won't be personally familiar with and can advise the sinner how to overcome it!

 

[wildcatdonf]

Yes.

I thought it was Leo Durocher.

Ghost our flesh has to be well done before we can teach the word holds true in more than one preacher I have ran across.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Very nice stroke.

I love mens' league softball how you can jog to first and then walk away after hitting a HR

TOUCH 'em ALL.. Nah, eff it. Walk back to the cooler and grab a Schlitz.

This is truth. Of course, I believe that my Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ, but from a historical and personal standpoint, my favorite person in the Bible is King David. Because there is a whole LOT of me in him, and he did some things that exceed even MY idea of 'What can I possibly get away with?' And in the end, he was redeemed. So there IS hope for me after all.

 

[GhostVol]

Spear got it in ONE take. Well done! (think Sodom and Gomorrah)

 

[ukfred]

All right, now I'm laughing so hard I damn near pissed myself. Good one Spear!

 

[GhostVol]

Bedtime for me. Tomorrow I just might delve into Song of Solomon (aka Song of Songs, Canticles)

 

[AustinTXCat]

Damn, I hate dozing off in the chair. Screws up my sleep cycle.

Happy International Women's Day.

A nice 61 degrees here in the City. Morning ATC. More coffee as catfan would say. FCC.

Good morning, FCC. We're at 69°F currently. Some drizzle yesterday. Heavy rain and storms expected tonight.

Same here on the rain. How are you man? Life good? All is well here. Kid stuff. Run run run. House chores. It's a good life though. FCC.

Our new boss started yesterday at work. She seems okay so far. I've been working some overtime, but not getting paid for it.

Bummer on the OT. I've worked for some female bosses over the years. Never minded like some did. As a matter of fact, I work for one now. The wife. FCC.

 

[FutureCityCats]

My life reminds me of the saying if I would have known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. Never thought that at 63 I would be raising kids. Didn't see that one coming. You younger guys, prepare plan b and c and....Well you get the point. Lower back....gone. Too many double plays, hay hauling and cutting tobacco, planting beans, corn. FCC.

Morning D. Greetings from the shanty. Hope this day finds you well and treats you even better.

Keep your coffee mug full for safety.

A shocking 55 degrees here this morning.

I miss ball games but Wednesday will get things going in high style.
