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 →

Dinner at Joyce’s (last part)

So…there I was… at Joyce’s…on the couch…with about 9 Stone beers in my system…with Joyce sitting next to me dressed in some kind of nightgown thing that wasn’t really a nightgown. Whatever it's called. But I had other problems. It was pretty clear that the next thing on the schedule was not changing the sim … Continue reading Dinner at Joyce’s (last part) →

Disneyland and Winning a Bet

Before I write some more about the Smokies and their shortstop shortstop Sumter Henderson, I have to tell y'all about my trip to Disneyland with Keaton on Wednesday. I guess I gotta begin by telling y’all that I love Disneyland. We took a two awesome family vacations to Walt Disney World when I was growing … Continue reading Disneyland and Winning a Bet →

Ballerina Pink

I was so worked up over the final score in the Dodgers game on Sunday that I totally forgot to comment on the get ups they had on. I've got a Mom. I understand Mothers Day. I also understand that they want to sell ball caps in different colors, since we all already have Dodger … Continue reading Ballerina Pink →

The Dodgers are in Deeper Doody

I’m not done with the Dodgers. Not even close lol. In my last post, I started pointing the finger at manager Dave Roberts. Y’all probably guessed that I’m going to say this reminds me of something I experienced when I was playing ball. And it does. Not when I was a pro (our manager in … Continue reading The Dodgers are in Deeper Doody →

The Dodgers are in Deep Doody

I don’t mean to leave y’all hanging about the iPhone and Joyce and the flourless chocolate cake, but something’s gotta be said about the Dodgers. And soon. What a mess. It’s not that Corey Seager was so brilliant and carrying the team this year. I already said how I thought that his performance (or lack … Continue reading The Dodgers are in Deep Doody →

Parrots 19, Kung Paos 2

Tuesday night sucked for LA baseball…but it was a great night for softball. At least for the Pasadena Parrots. I reckon it sucked for the Kung Paos. That’s the score in the headline. 19 runs isn’t impossible in softball, but c’mon, it’s 19 runs. We f***in killed it. (Mom said it was ok for me … Continue reading Parrots 19, Kung Paos 2 →

Corey Seager: View from Short

What I was going to write for Seager’s birthday tribute was that he’s the best shortstop I’ve seen play live (excepting when I saw Cal Ripken Jr. for two games of a double header when I was 8 and Dad and I drove up to Baltimore.) No wonder he was Rookie of the Year and … Continue reading Corey Seager: View from Short →

The Corey Seager Injury

I started out writing this last Friday, as a tribute to Corey Seager on his 24th birthday. Then life, a date with Monica on Friday and a “date” with Candy (I still call her that) on Saturday happened…and I not only missed church, but I forgot to finish my blog, too. Then, on Monday, along … Continue reading The Corey Seager Injury →
