So what did I do for Joyce on Valentine’s Day? I knew the thing I didn’t want to do: take her to a restaurant where I’d be surrounded by a bunch of dudes looking totally miserable because their girlfriends were making them jump through a bunch of stupidass hoops. I did that last year. Y’all … Continue reading Valentine’s Day (part 1)

Only 2 Days until Valentine’s Day
Ok, so I have a problem here. What do I do about Valentine’s Day? If y’all look back to when I started my blog, it was to tell the story of the Valentine’s Day nightmare I had with Monica last year. Even in April it was still bothering me, so Sloppy Joe told me to … Continue reading Only 2 Days until Valentine’s Day
THuG (last part)
So now that I've introduced my best friends growing up I can tell y'all about THuG. What’s THuG? It’s a baseball stat that evaluates a player’s overall offensive contribution. Invented by three smartass teenagers who thought they were smarter than all the other dudes inventing metrics and advanced stats. Me and my two best buddies … Continue reading THuG (last part)
THuG (part 1)
Dodgers pitchers and catchers have to report to Spring training a week from yesterday. Since the season is almost ready to start, I thought this would be a good time to tell y'all about the statistic me and my buddies invented back high school. I have to admit I haven’t used it in a while, … Continue reading THuG (part 1)
Keaton’s 32nd Birthday
So y’all may remember how Keaton gave me all that shit for telling other people my birthday was coming up back in November. (Just a reminder: my birthday’s November 8th lol.) It’s almost as though Keaton thinks it’s gay to have a birthday at all, which is kinda lameass since everyone’s got one. Even Keaton. … Continue reading Keaton’s 32nd Birthday
A Trip to the Batting Cage (last part)
If I'm going to be a good baseball tutor to the high school kid I was hired to tutor in baseball, we're going to need a batting cage to practice his hitting in. My student Lucas knew of one down in Alhambra, which turned out to be a combination batting cage/car wash run by a … Continue reading A Trip to the Batting Cage (last part)
A Trip to the Batting Cage (part 1)
Obviously the most important thing for my baseball pupil Lucas to work on is his hitting. Fielding was always one of my favorite things, and I'm looking forward to playing catch with Lucas so we can both dive for balls, but the thing that’s going to count most at team tryouts is hitting. Unless his … Continue reading A Trip to the Batting Cage (part 1)
My Baseball Pupil (last part)
I know it may not look like you have to be a great athlete to play ball – we stand around a lot while soccer players never stop running around until their weirdass clock counts all the way up – but baseball takes a lot of athleticism. We have to be able to do four … Continue reading My Baseball Pupil (last part)
My Baseball Pupil (part 1)
I’ve spent so much time telling y’all about my pretty cool holidays that I haven’t told you the next part about my being hired as a “baseball tutor” to a kid in Pasadena who wants to make the team at his high school. His parents, who know me through their older son Carter, who hangs … Continue reading My Baseball Pupil (part 1)
New Year’s Eve with Joyce (last part)
I spent New Year’s Eve at Joyce’s, just the two of us. She had me put on a tuxedo (“you look like a young James Bond”), she was in an evening gown, and we had a couple bottles of sparking cider to celebrate. Neither of us likes champagne, and sparkling cider tastes great. Instead of … Continue reading New Year’s Eve with Joyce (last part)
