Trivia Thursday, What St. Louis Cardinal pitched 5 shutouts to lead the league and they were all against the same team. What was his name and what team did he shutout 5 times in one year? No cheating!
Hey cord. Looks like the rain is gone unless we get some wrap around from that whole system. Looks good on radar. Anyway, got to work a few. Filling in for a girl that has grandkids moving away and wants to spend time with them before they move away.
Y'all try to keep 'er between the ditches. FCC.

Nope A better team than the Cubs. Hint 1960's and he was a lefty
I have no idea.
Another hint West coast team
Had me laughing. That's one way to measure them.Warrior...thoughts?
For the old dogs of the D. Bet most of us never did this stuff. Grown and starting families before this stuff took hold
I was going to answer and say yep it's over but we have had a flood here in the last hour and another on the way that's in south Muhlenberg now!

Ok the answer is Larry Jaster and against the Dodgers. I don't know why I remember this but I was a huge Cardinal fan in the 60's and 70's I still am, They are the only team I have ever followed well except the Yankees just to see if they lost! Always hated the Yankees! But not Chris Farley's yankees
<- - - - - still huge ATL Braves fan.
I sorta liked them when they had Dale Murphy and Bob Horner! Good team!
It must be Sandy Koufax.
Nope Kofax pitched fur the Dodgers, Jaster for the Cards. Kofax was in my view the BEST picture in my era, him and Ryan!
Italian Beef is excellent even if I did make it!!!! Almost broke my arm!
Just watched an episode of The Lone Ranger. Aunt Bee played a bad girl. The Sheriff was called Sheriff Taylor. (1954)
Did Aunt Bee get her break in burlesque???
Jacksonville got a bargain at 8.
Late to the party today.
I guessed Bob Gibson.
Had a good time with Dad today. They dropped him on the floor again today. That's twice in the same week. I went straight to an administrator and explained to her the difference in an isolated incident and a pattern of behavior. He didn't get hurt either time.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and clear.
Happy Friday, y'all. My bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Heading to Vegas after work. I'm not a gambler. Simply headed out for a good time.
As usual, we'll check back later. Y'all behave.

I'm awake but I'm pretty sure it's a false start.
I went to a Cincinnati versus Houston game in 1986 at the old Astro Dome and Brian pitched a one hitter against my Reds. I think the only hit was by Pete Rose.
The really good guys.
58.5°F and we are still waiting for rain. Dang. It was supposed to be here Thursday morning. Now it is friday morning and nothing.
Cord got his and I am still owed mine.

Good morning D-League
I woke up this morning to a soaking rain that is expected to end early this afternoon. After it clears we will have sunshine with clear skies and 84°.. The rain will bring brisk winds and a low tonight of 53°. I put out a lot of fertilizer yesterday and magnesium so this worked out well. Funny listening to the radio the weather man is complaining being a weather man does not pay like it use to. The $300,000 salaries are no more except for the big boys who do hurricane forecasting, etc. And maybe some of the national weather babes on cable. He blamed it on IPhone weather apps and the fact anybody can have a weather station in their basement now. Or garage down here.
Fishing is going good and the Tarpon are starting to jump. Should be prime in about two weeks.

That would have been my guess too! It was just one of those freak things that happens. He only won 35 games in his 7 years in the bigs.
Today is the last day you can apply to be a Weeki Wachee Mermaid. They have 4 positions open and have 350-400 applicants each year.. They have a total of 40 full staff. "Mermaids require eight to twelve months of training before they are able to perform in the underwater theater. They must learn each position: Control Booth/Director, Swimmer (multiple roles), Host/Hostess, and Safety Person (in the water), rotating as needed. The position is approximately 30 hours a week. Summer weeks can add an extra shift"
You have to have excellent character and most all of them are professionals with college degrees. .About three-fourths of the applicants are eliminated through the water testing and personal interviews. The water test consists of swimming 400 yards against the current, treading water for fifteen minutes, trying to perform three underwater ballet moves after seeing them once, and being able to hold your breath underwater for thirty seconds. All of this in cold spring water with a year round water temperature of 72 ° The spring produces 150 million gallons of water a day. Treading water 20 feet below the surface with that amount of pressure pushing on you means you better be an athlete.
Any D-Leaguers want to try out?

Do not remember them, of course I was just 6 at the time so baseball was just starting to get my attention. The only thing that I liked about baseball then was getting the cards and putting them in the spokes of my bicycle to pretend I had a motorcycle!!!!!

I remember doing that too.
Thanks Mr. Rooster, Central City was the crossroads for the ICRR(CSX) and the L&N back in the day.
Well ........ stay in the house.
Mr. Bert It rained just about all day then we had some downpours after midnight last night!!! Wind was howling last night to!!!
I remember them well Don. In fact when they came on the scene they were compared to Dizzy and Paul (Daffy) Dean who were outstanding pitchers for the Cardinals in the 1930's. The brothers combined for 49 wins. Dizzy had 30 and "Daffy" 19.
