I have a new Grandson !! Born last week,, Mom and baby are doing fine after what was a difficult Pregnancy, where there seemed to be every complication. (and I certainly have not Idea just how difficult it was) BUT - the Outcome was excellent in that Mom and baby are all good!
I do not thing there are many things the world that you could say - there was every complication on the journey ,, but the destination would up to be perfect ....
Ok, Let's move quickly to the Wide Wide World of Sports,..
Yankees are in 1st place in the AL east - and BTW have the best record in-all of Baseball right now,,, I wanna talk about the Designated hitter deal,, but thats for a bit later...
Basketball - Golden State embarrassed the Cav's in the Finals and as great as Lebron is he could not over come the GS team...
Hockey - The Vegas Golden nights was a terrific story - they even won the 1st game in the Stanley cup Finals,,, but in the end could not stop the Capitals from Scoring.... and lost that series and the Cup in 5 games.
Horse racing - well we have another Triple crown winner - Justify won the Belmont to complete the trifecta and give us another Triple crown winner after just 4 years... American Pharoah won the same in 2015 after a 37 year drought....
My rant this week is the Designated hitter rule in Baseball..... where the National league plays with a different set of rules than the American league, not sure can come up with an analogy for another sport. You have the NL - where the pitchers have to hit and subsequently run the bases - it also presents a different thinning with pinch hitting later in the game where you have a opportunity to score. this also means that you do not have a person on the 25 man roster whos' job it really is just to HIT ,,, where in the AL teams have highly paid older players that only hit or 90% of the time they only hit. SO in the American league - you are asking the Pitchers who - yes are athletes - to hit and run the Bases . Something are just not used to doing and this - I think leads to some injuries...... Remember Chin Ming Wong - hurt a leg rounding 3rd base - destroying his career , he was never the same after wards. Now I don't care what way we go - DH or NO DH - but all of baseball needs to get on the Same page !!
The job is going well. I like working the 3 days , Thursday , Friday and Saturday ,,,, I do Noon to 8:30 ...... and am alone after noon on Thursday and after 3 or 4 oclock on Fri and Saturday... . I have the ok to work some added hours learning the Administrative side of things,,, and might even be Kept on for the Winter at the end of the Year ,,, so we will see about that - I have plans to do a few things this winter !!
It was Derek Trucks birthday this past week,, so let's try one with his wife Susan Tedeschi ,,, and some Tedeschi Trucks band.. ANYHOW
Then Angel from Montgomery.. we will be seeing them at SPAC in July
