Ok, so yesterday I told Jacob that you should never leave a baseball game before it was over. After all, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over” was first said by a ballplayer, and Tuesday’s game proved the saying. And then last night happened. Both me and Jacob were ready to turn the TV off before … Continue reading NLCS Game 4

NLCS Game 3
That felt like the longest 4 hours and 14 minutes of my life. Especially the 3½ hours in the middle where the Dodgers were dead in the water and couldn’t get a run in to save their souls. There was that great Lux double play in the top of the 1st, then it got eerily … Continue reading NLCS Game 3
The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
What do the Dodgers think they’re doing – besides trying to lose the NLCS? Losing Saturday’s game was okay, I reckon. If you’re gonna lose a game in a series, the first one is the best one to lose, although that gives the other team the momentum coming into the second game, which then becomes … Continue reading The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
The Parrots Return to the Field
The Parrots finally got to play softball again last night, for the first time since the lameass COVID lockdowns cancelled the Spring 2020 season. We did manage to get in one practice last week, and, although everyone was able to make it, man, were we rusty. I’ve been playing baseball with Los Cervezeros since the … Continue reading The Parrots Return to the Field
Moving Day for Travis
Travis’ last day at the ‘funny farm’ was Monday, and I’m pleased to report that we got him moved to his new apartment, where the IKEA furniture we put together last week was waiting for him. The move wasn’t too bad, but he did need help, since he really did have a ton of shit … Continue reading Moving Day for Travis
Assembling the IKEA Furniture
Me and Keaton went with Travis on Tuesday to IKEA to get him some furniture for the apartment next door to Keaton’s, which is where he’s gonna be moving next week when he finishes up the program in the place in El Monte where he’s been living and doing a great job of getting over … Continue reading Assembling the IKEA Furniture
A Visit to IKEA with Travis
So Travis took my and Keaton’s advice and he’s moving into the apartment next door to Keaton’s. Juan Diego wanted to paint and change the carpet and shit like that, so the apartment wasn’t going to be ready on the 1st like we thought. That worked out, since Travis still has a few days left … Continue reading A Visit to IKEA with Travis
A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
The boys were only in their second week of school when Robert surprised me by saying that I was gonna get to take the boys to Dodger Stadium on the night of September 1…Robert somehow knew that it was Corey Seager’s bobblehead night, and also somehow knew that I really like Seager as a player, … Continue reading A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
Adam’s 26th Sobriety Anniversary Party
Adam’s sobriety party was at 8 on his anniversary date, the 23rd, so I didn’t get to stay with the boys the night of their first day of school. All the Parrots were able to make it, except for Dave, who moved to Las Vegas because this was no town to be a waiter during … Continue reading Adam’s 26th Sobriety Anniversary Party
Back to School
So the first day of school is here, and, yes, Matteo’s going back. If he turns out to have trouble, they can always bring him back home and get him another tutor. That’s Maya’s reasoning, and, although I don’t get a vote (like Joyce has said a million times), I think it’s the right decision. … Continue reading Back to School
