30 Chicks/30 Days

Ok, so y’all remember I told you about a pitcher buddy back at MT who had to have Tommy John surgery…and came back good as new senior year? He was another good ole Tennessee boy. They even named him Jackson lol. Thing is (I reckon I told y’all this too) that he could get hard … Continue reading 30 Chicks/30 Days →

All Star Break: Joyce on Thursday

I was still pissed off when I woke up Thursday morning after I’d walked out on Monica in a restaurant the night before. I went to the computer to find the email telling me where Keaton had hidden my phone for my own good (it was inside the box of soda crackers), and made myself … Continue reading All Star Break: Joyce on Thursday →

All Star Break: Monica on Wednesday

So I decided I’d spend the All Star break going out on dates. I reckoned I’d see Monica on Wednesday night and Joyce on Thursday night. If y’all read my blog about the Home Run Derby, you’ll know that I was finishing it up in a hurry because I needed to get ready to go … Continue reading All Star Break: Monica on Wednesday →

The Manny Machado Trade

So the thing they couldn’t stop talking about during the All Star game (told you the game was boring!) finally happened yesterday: Manny Machado has become a Dodger. If you trust lameass Twitter, Justin Turner and Alex Wood are all excited about it. They look all spontaneous about it too. Real spontaneous. Ok, so first thing … Continue reading The Manny Machado Trade →

Home Run Derby

I’m not a big fan of the All Star game (who is?). If you ask me, the best part of last night’s game was having Mike Trout miked up when he was supposed to be fielding. I guess it’s an honor to be picked for an All Star game, but I always wonder how many … Continue reading Home Run Derby →

Joyce Gets Caught (big deal)

So meanwhile what’s been going on with Joyce? I’ve been seeing her a couple times a week lately. We go out to dinner then we go back to her house… No, it’s not like with Monica. (I don’t have to pay for dinner for starters lol.) When we get to her house, Joyce goes in … Continue reading Joyce Gets Caught (big deal) →

My July 4th in Pasadena

So, yeah, I missed back home on July 4th. And I reckon not just for the Block Burgers. Watching the Dodger game on TV, I wished I’d gotten tickets to be there and see the team win and the fireworks afterwards. I know a Dodger Dog ain’t no Block Burger…but it does come with fireworks … Continue reading My July 4th in Pasadena →

Block Burgers for the 4th of July

July 4th back home was always a big deal. I told y’all that Dad was in the army, so respect for our country was something we all grew up with. You put down your drink, put your ball cap over your heart and stood up straight when they sang the National Anthem before a Smokies … Continue reading Block Burgers for the 4th of July →

Sumter Henderson (part 2)

Dad had kept it a secret from me for over a month that his company was doing some kind of promotional work with the Tennessee Smokies and that he’d met some of the players. One of who was Sumter Henderson -- their shortstop. Dad told him that his son was serious about playing ball and … Continue reading Sumter Henderson (part 2) →

Sumter Henderson

So I started telling y'all about growing up a fan of the Tennessee Smokies and I guess I got all distracted with some of the stuff that was going down with Joyce.  Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the Smokies...and one player in particular. Sumter Henderson was only with the Smokies … Continue reading Sumter Henderson →
