You best start worrying when you run into my family names. Then you know you are in deep trouble.
Martin's, Elmore's, Lee's, Cook's, Webb's, Self's, Stallsworth's, Blair's, Howard's, Edwards' et.al. you know you are in trouble. If you run into a Higginbotham, just stop! Maybe consider running for the border!
Oh I left out the Rich's. If you find a Rich in your background that means that you may have family with @_Rooster and me. You may want to consider something even worse!
Not baseball related but my biggest disappointment during the steroid era was Lance Armstrong. Got by with it for years. Lied for years and the only regret he had was that he got caught. A cancer survivor, charity organizer, etc. he was revered by many including kids. Turns out he was a scumbag all along.Thinking about Pujols and Judge got me recalling the steroid era and how it really did warp the perspective of baseball forever.
Already you hear apologists saying “yeah Bonds cheated, but he would have still had Hall of Fame stats and maybe set home run records without steroids.” Possibly a borderline HOF career without steroids but bullshit on the home runs.
To me, the best example of how steroids ruined stuff is not Bonds or McGwire or Sosa. Look at the largely forgotten Brady Anderson. I was going to a lot of Orioles games in those years. Anderson’s HR totals in a six year span were 13, 14, 16, 50, 18, 18…He later admitted he used massive amounts of steroids to hit 50, then got scared and tapered and quit. So he was basically a guy capable of averaging about 15 home runs —or 50 with steroids.
Albert could always hit and I liked him, but his defense bothered me. They tried him in LF and 3B with negative results. They finally moved him to 1B and he picked it up well, became a good first baseman and at that point I went all in on him. I'm happy for him that his farewell tour has been so happy for him.

Speaking of Cardinal ball parks: My first live game was when I was a kid. Dad took us to the old Sportsman's Park in St Louis. It had a screen from the right field line to deep in right center. Must have been 40 foot high. Busch put it up because he was losing to many BP home run balls to the fans. I saw Stan Musial get a double off the screen that day. A reporter once asked Stan about all the homers he lost to that screen. Stan said, "Yeah, but it gave me a lot of doubles."They had to put him in left early on cause we had that two year stint where we had Tino Martinez at first...gawd, he didn't hit at all for us like he did for the Yankees (granted none of our stadiums have ever had the short porch in right field like Yankee stadium).
Albert was a very good first baseman once they moved him to his natural position, won a couple gold gloves. And his batting stats those first 11 years of his career as a Cardinal were unreal.

Another one almost as bad as Anderson was Luis Gonzalez. He hit 57 home runs at the age of 33, which was 26 more than his previous high, coincidentally set a year earlier. It gets overshadowed by the fact it happened in the year where Bonds hit his 73 home runs.Thinking about Pujols and Judge got me recalling the steroid era and how it really did warp the perspective of baseball forever.

I did not know him, but we may be kin.Sir,
Did you happen to know Roy Rich in E'Town? Curious... (He owned E'Town Exterminating.)
Fill up the car and truck, start your generator to make sure she runs, put on the storm windows, put the stuff that can fly away in the garage; then stack up some good DVD's to watch!

I just gained two pounds.Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high could reach 96°F.
Game Day. Go Cats! Plan on tuning in at 6 pm CST.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
It would have to do a 90 degree turn to the right to slam into me. My brother would be a direct hit, he lives in the Apalachicola area. But he is a pro at handling hurricanes and has a lot of experience.Fill up the car and truck, start your generator to make sure she runs, put on the storm windows, put the stuff that can fly away in the garage; then stack up some good DVD's to watch!
Stay safe.
If I was Auburn's coach, I would take those refs out to dinner. They prolonged his firing for at least another week.The SEC refs took care of Auburn today. Holy moly.
Oh do I. I am a little older and my boxing hero as a child was Rocky Marciano. Marciano knocked out Walcott for the championship in 1952. This match was with Ezzard CharlesAnybody recall the name Ezzard Charles (The Cincinnat Cobra)? He was a friend of Ali and Rocky Marciano. Ezzard was really a light heavyweight who fought up in weight. Beat Joe Walcott for the heavyweight championship. He was never the same after killing Sam Baroudi in the ring. Oddly enough, only a few months earlier, Baroudi had killed a man in the ring.
I just got out of the shower after going over to the political forum. I feel dirty reading that liberal garbage. I get called every name in the book by some of them. It is a hoot.I delved into the fray just a little on the political board today but it was just a slight venture as I have to get some sense of a possibility to effect change or I don't like wasting time. (Time is a precious commodity on this earth.)
I have been known to be called weird and some other things (deservedly so many times.) but darned if some of those are some seriously flawed characters. I'd actually like to see how they live to see if it correlates with how they type. I do doubt it does. At least I hope it doesn't mesh with how they live.. jmo
They did a computer fight in 1969. They actually sparred to make film for the fight. Ali said his arms were sore from the beating Rocky gave them. He also said only a computer made in Alabama could beat him.Oh do I. I am a little older and my boxing hero as a child was Rocky Marciano. Marciano knocked out Walcott for the championship in 1952.

That was Marciano's game. He was not a big man and had short arms. So he would pound away and hit the opponent in his arms and they would get numb and heavy. Once that happened Marciano would go for the knockout.. He had a powerful punchThey did a computer fight in 1969. They actually sparred to make film for the fight.
