A Southern Shortstop in Los Angeles
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
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
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)
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
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
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)
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
So y’all remember how Monica’s sister’s Persian fake boyfriend had this bigass watch…and made sure I saw it? A couple dudes came into the store this week, both of them with bigass watches, and both of them comparing them and what they cost. If you ask me it was like two gay guys comparing how … Continue reading Bigass Watches and the Men That Wear Them
I think I told y’all that they know me late-night at the IHOP on Arroyo Parkway. I stop there a lot after hanging out with Monica so I can get a strawberry sundae. (Having a girlfriend who’s always on a diet sucks when you like dessert with dinner.) The hostess/waitress, Alicia, knows me. She’s dang … Continue reading Saturday Night with Monica (last part)
After Keaton scared the shit out of the bitchass Mexican dude who was trying to start a fight outside of the bar he works at, the totally hot chick bartender who was watching from the doorway hollered “last call!”. I headed for the entrance and passed Miguel and Keaton. Miguel fist-bumped me. Keaton still hadn’t … Continue reading Saturday Night with Monica (part 3)
