They are still banking on having enough decent pitchers when Lodolol and Green come back. Luckily so far, the scoring has been really good but to your point, we need better pitching.

- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings

No words other than condolences, hopes and prayers at the same time.
Hang in there.
I saw your post in another thread about the Reds, Warrior -- about missing both the 1976 World Series in basic training and the 1990 World Series deployed to Desert Storm...
I can somewhat sympathize...I missed most of the 1976 season working up in Alaska, but did get back home in time to actually go to one series game and celebrate the championship downtown the night after the sweep.
But in 1990, I was inside Saddam's Baghdad during the entire series and didn't see one ptich...I didn't know anything about how the series had gone until after all four games were over. There were still some Americans Saddam was allowing to stay in a consulate to monitor the "guestages" -- the American oil field workers rounded up in Kuwait the Iraqis were holding captive at that time. I was over there at the consulate using a satellite fax to send back some stuff I'd written and I asked one of the guys how the series had gone. "Sweep" he said. The As were heavy favorites, so I just assumed the Reds had lost in four straight...It was another week until I got back to Jordan and called my family that I learned the truth.
Would love to have a chance to make up for missing that celebration some time before I die...

Sad to read that Austin. God Bless.
Never giving up praying for you ATX
I second this.
In Jesus name...
Good morning and Happy Friday from ATX.
- Rather than triple digits, it appears we'll fall back to the high 90s. CenTex summer.
- Almond milk not bad. Non-flavored variety tastes like, well.... almonds.
Wishing all an awesome day.

Yeah, I bought me one of those watches not long ago and it beeped, flashed, streaked, and then exploded into Uranus. Still did not know what time it was.
Good morning folks. Sun just came out as I was typing this in the east.
If the clear skies hold up I may spend an hour on my back deck tonight after everyone is sleeping trying to catch sight of a falling star on Meteor Night. We're just far enough from the city and other ambient light that I can see them, and usually if patient can score a sighting or two before I get really sleepy.
Glad it's Friday. Busy day ahead, with a short week coming up and deadlines on the horizon. hope you all have a good one.

Good morning all,
Off day for me. I am thankful. Going to "Bear" down decluttering. I am making progress.
I have to change the brakes and rotors on My Darlings car. We are planning a trip to Huntsville the week of the tenth to visit people we were in Korea with. Actually three families.
The brakes are a must. Had prices of $1500.00. I can buy the parts, and good parts for $400.00 and do the job in a day and will know what I've done so it's a no brainier to me.
Going to head over to advanced auto today or tomorrow....
Have a great day...

Sunny and clear of most of the Canadian smoke that we had yesterday. We got .66 inches of rain yesterday and that really helped with the smoke. It is 73.8°F and is supposed to get to 92° today.
Little Smiths Grove has ambient light out the wazzoo, to see the Milky Way on a clear night you must wait for a power outage! My house is about 400 feet for the Cemetery and there are two lights there to keep punks out after dark (I put them in when I was Mayor and I also closed the cemetery to traffic from dusk to dawn, so I have to blame myself). I used to go to Nolin Lake to watch such stuff.
DDIL procured me 2 ticks to FCC-Inter Miami Aug 23 with Messi near certain to play. Hot diggity.
Had never heard of Desmond Doss till I watched Hacksaw Ridge last night. Great man & patriot. Excellent movie.
Long day, nothing ever works like the plan... I expect that though, so all is good. I am thankful. Will try again tomorrow. I bought the brake parts today. (Came to $396.) I watched a couple Youtube video's on this model of car to brush up. I've done a few brake jobs, just not frequently. No biggie... May try tomorrow but have to leave early to do some honey things. We shall see...
I hope all of you sleep well. If you are out and about, keep it safe....

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 99°F or so.
Keeping it short this morning. Wishing all an awesome Saturday.

Good morning folks. A cloudy day for us.
My son left at 3am to work a weekend job in Cleveland. He’s still at the age where driving eight hours to work ten hours and drive back sounds like a fun adventure.
Heading out for a hike. Hope it’s a good day for all.

Enjoy your Fourth of July weekend.

Had to share this one on it's own.... God Bless America...
A lot of Thunder and rain. After 2 days predicting this would happen, and being wrong, it finally did. Hopefully this lets up soon.
Some of my favored songs.
We've had 3" of rain this week, 2" was Sunday night, 1" last
Good afternoon everyone. I hope all is well with everyone.
I made it back from the lake where I worked harder than I have in a while. Fished a little and caught some, but not many keepers.
More honey do's since getting back, but the rain arrived and now get a little break.

Went fishing this morning at Rattler. Have not done as well as I normally do there this year but today was a little better. They were hitting and bumping the lures a lot and I caught 4 although 5 got away so the score: Warrior-Cat 4---Largemouth Bass 5. Biggest was just short of 3 lbs and the smallest was about a pound. Will try again tomorrow probably (depends on how I feel in the morning). Feel a little queezy right now so... I have not been sick in a couple of years or so (don't count elevated blood pressure incident). Probably due.
Sure wouldn't mind spending time with you on the bank flinging a line and jabber-jawing. Hope you feel better for sure. I could talk a fish or two onto your line though you catch plenty on your own...
I told my wife when I got back today that there were some ladies out there bugging me when I was fishing and she ask "What did they want?" I said: "Aphids". It took her a minute to realize what I meant and then she said: "Get out of here!" Heh, heh, heh,
Good morning from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY. Currently 69°F and raining. In fact, we've received rain nearly all night.
Couple folks coming down from Louisville area I've not seen in a while. Gonna have a good time.
Wishing all a wonderful Sunday.

Morning Legionnaires!
70° this morning with a high expected to be in the low 90's and sunny.
Fireworks everywhere last night and my next-door neighbor with friends and family had a lot of them. When they started shooting them off, 3 of my dogs ran into the house, but not the monster. She started barking and growling and charging the fence. She was not happy and let them know that was not acceptable. I had as much fun watching her as I did watching the fireworks.
Not much going on today, I am little more tired than usual as I had more to drink than normal last night. Going to take it easy and just watch the Reds play at 12:40 CDT. Was going to go fishing but...another day this coming week will do.
@AustinTXCat enjoy your trip and stay safe.
and to all, God Bless.
Good morning folks. Back from a long hike in the heat and humidity. Completely saturated by sweat. It’s really steamy summertime here and will be like this til late September.
Got some chores to do and some grocery shopping. Hope you all have a good day.

Already a warm 80°F here on our way to a humid 88°.

Bert, how is that much different than most days?
Bert, we had another1.3 last night, early this morning, more on the way tonight
Drinking a NZ Sav Blanc, Wither Hills. Cheap. Gives me a 2nd reason to like it. Goes well with DW's well-seasoned chicken breasts.
NZ is home to some wonderful wines but you shouldn't make disparaging comments about your wife's figure. 🙂
It's Frankie...
