I got to listen to a bit and the radio guys were complaining about the strike zone a lot. The wife watched most of it and she said the ump was bad. He doesn't have the stuff anymore to keep everything down the middle. Ever bad game he's had this year there was a tight strike zone.

- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Don't know why, but I never imagined Billy Graham having that type dog... (Just never thought of it..)
Say thank you to us Reds fans that just helped you widen the gap a little between the birds and the brewers. Not that I helped but, I was watching (where else was I gonna go), and it seems the more I watch the Reds this year the better they play. They are above .500 since the all-star break.Uh oh Cards fans of the D-League...Cards just swept the Yankees.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 100°F. Saturday, we broke the 21-day streak for 100°F+ temperatures.
Guess Cats are down in the Bahamas Aug 8-14. Hoping for a good tournament.
Monday, Monday... Another weekend in the books.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Monday Morning D
Sitting here drinking my coffee and waiting for the sun to come up. Bacon is frying in the pan. It is still dark outside but the skies are clear and you can see the stars before they fade away. We have 72° and should move on up close to 90°. At 3:00 this afternoon there is a 54% chance of rain and it will increase as we get later into the afternoon. I would bet on a good thunderstorm before we turn the lights out tonight.
I trust all have a great day. Footballs are in the air. I am counting down.

Good morning D-League. It's currently partly cloudy and 72° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a chance of a thunderstorm and a high of 90°.
Everyone stay safe on this Monday.
Everyone stay safe on this Monday.
Shannon played right field before third base.
I remember Shannon moving to third from right field to make room for Maris. I know Shannon played right field in the 64 series against the Yankees. Boyer at third is the way I remember it.
3 great games!Uh oh Cards fans of the D-League...Cards just swept the Yankees.
Good morning all,
Into some wild things this morning. More to follow, maybe....
Have a great day!

Good morning folks. Back at work. The weekend just vanished like a puff of smoke in a storm.
Good to have the Cats games in the Bahamas to look forward to. So many things I'm looking forward to seeing. Last three times Kentucky had these every-four-year ecursions in led to a Final Four (2011) Final Four (2015) and an Elite Eight OT loss (2019.) Probably just a coincidence, but a favorable one.
Hope you all have a terrific day.

Sunny and 74.3°F. We are to get to a hot 91° and only 20% chance of rain. Yesterday we got a healthy .87" of rain.
@Sawnee Cat I loved those two pictures from up on top.
You all enjoy your Monday.

Thanks Bert, my granddaughter took those and the scene is looking down on the USAF Academy. The Cadets had some free time yesterday before classes start this morning. So they decided to hike up Eagles Nest and watch the sun come up.
Who knew RBG was a LV fan.Don't know why, but I never imagined Billy Graham having that type dog... (Just never thought of it..)
DW & I attended (Northern) KY Symphony Or. concert last night at the Ft. Thomas Fort Park Amphitheater. Really good. It was a tribute to Steven Solheim's musicals. Pamela Myers, who had major roles in a couple of his plays on Broadway, sang and told Solheim background stories for the other singers' songs. About 18 total, 2+ hours. Most singers either had had Broadway roles or touring company roles. Two famous songs were Send in the Clowns & Tonight. KSO played the background music. I'd guess people would play $50-100 for such a show in a theater. Great weather to boot.
How about them Cats? I can definitely live with this.
LOL. That never fails to crack me up. Imagine if we stay on this path for 60 more years and that guy on the right is a symbol of machismo compared to the non-binary who represents the 2080 man - no beard, visible breasts, prefers the pronouns "they/them/theirs."
I would like to see Lee Marvin as the exemplary of 50s-60s maleness, or maybe Jimmy Stewart. Marvin was wounded on Saipan as a young Marine and Stewart flew combat missions over Europe in a B-17...
I am thankful I was born when I was. If I die tomorrow I can say I had a good life.
That's a terrific attitude to reach. I'm not quite there yet, but it is a goal and I'm closer than in my younger days for sure.
I started out like most all of us as an adolescent boy in a small town just dreaming of experiencing as much of life as possible. Much of the way there, not all of the way there.
I hate to read that. She gave breast cancer a good fight but it got her in the end. She was a great entertainer. RIP
You can add Charles Bronson to the list.
Good catch, Bernie. Another guy no one thinks of -- Scottie from Star Trek was wounded on the Canadian beach on D-Day - shot in the chest, apparently in a friendly fire incident. Of course, if you want to include athletes, Ted Williams is king, and there are other guys right behind. Yogi Berra was a gunner on a landing craft at Normandy and got shot in the hand.

Although Arness wanted to be a naval fighter pilot, he was concerned his poor eyesight would bar him. However, his 6-ft, 7-in (2.01 m) frame ended his chances because the limit for aviators was set at 6 ft, 2 in (1.88 m). He was drafted into the US Army and reported to Fort Snelling in March 1943.[4] As a rifleman, he landed on Anzio Beachhead on January 22, 1944, with the 2nd Platoon, E Company, 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division. Arness – due to his height – was the first man to be ordered off his landing craft to determine the depth of the water; it came up to his waist.[4] He was severely wounded in his right leg during the Battle of Anzio,[7]and medically evacuated from Italy to the U.S., where he was sent to the 91st General Hospital in Clinton, Iowa. His brother, Peter, (later known as actor Peter Graves), came to see him when he was back in the U.S., beginning his long recuperation, assuring him to not worry about his injuries, that likely he could find work in the field of radio. After undergoing several surgeries, he was honorably discharged from the Army on January 29, 1945.[8] His wounds continued to trouble him, though, throughout the remainder of his life. In his later years, he suffered with chronic leg pain that often became acute, and was sometimes initiated when he was mounted on horses during his performances on Gunsmoke.[9][7] His military decorations included the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the American Campaign Medal, the European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze battle stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.[9][10]

It’s hard to imagine any of today’s hollywood set serving in the military in any capacity.
Oliver Douglas on Green Acres is another celebrity who saw action in WW2. and there are many more.
Prior to World War II, and before his film career, Albert had toured Mexico as a clown and high-wire artist with the Escalante Brothers Circus, but secretly worked for U.S. Army intelligence, photographing German U-boats in Mexican harbors.[8] On September 9, 1942, Albert enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and was discharged in 1943 to accept an appointment as a lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the coxswain of a Coast Guard landing craft, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire.[9]

Paul Newman was a gunner and radio man in the Navy. He was to be sent on a mission, but his pilot came up with an ear infection, so they were not sent. The ship was attacked by kamikazes and took 600 casualties.
Hello all,
It has been a good day. Kind of like a good flight. Any flight you can walk away from is a good flight..... Have a peaceful and restful evening.... (I am thankful!)

Here’s the Only American Soldier to Defect to the Nazis in World War II
Lt. Martin James Monti was an Army Air Forces pilot, but he wasn't on a recon mission. He had stolen the plane and was headed for the Nazi-occupied city of Milan to defect to the German Army.
Two other actors to serve in the military were Ernest Borgnine and Ted Knight.
Borgnine joined the United States Navy in October 1935, after graduation from high school.[10] He served aboard the destroyer/minesweeper USS Lamberton[11] and was honorably discharged from the Navy in October 1941.[12] In January 1942, he reenlisted in the Navy after the attack on Pearl Harbor. During World War II, he patrolled the Atlantic Coast on an antisubmarine warfare ship, the USS Sylph.[13] In September 1945, he was once again honorably discharged from the Navy. He served a total of almost 10 years in the Navy and obtained the grade of gunner's mate first class. His military awards include the Navy Good Conduct Medal, American Defense Service Medal with Fleet Clasp, American Campaign Medal with 3⁄16" bronze star, and the World War II Victory Medal.[12]
Knight dropped out of high school to enlist in the United States Army in World War II along with his best childhood friend Bernard P. Dzielinski (also from Terryville). He was a member of A Company, 296th Combat Engineer Battalion, earning five battle stars while serving in the European Theatre.[2][3]
