WHOO HOO and holy $hit !

Greetings,,,  As I write this I have just read an E-mail from the NYRRC,,.. to those who are unfamiliar that is the New York Road Runner Club,,, and although I knew early this morning when they charged my Visa card for the entrance fee,,,, It was good to see it Officially ... They have accepted my entrance to the 2014  NY City Marathon ....   really wanted to do the Same Marathon as my Daughter (her 1st,, my 9th  - will be the 3rd NYC,, but not there since 1996) - So Whoo hoo, and time to be way more serious about training,, and Paining,,,SEE Ya on the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge at 11am on November 2nd !

Lets turn to other matters,,, and remember Bas-e-bol is like a week away- so we will have plenty to write about then,,,, and the schedules put the Yanks and the Bosox right in the 1st weeks of the schedule,,,, nice..

Lets label this one "The un-Human condition" or Who the F do these people think they are??

So,, observe people,, look at the way they act and behave.

I am waiting at the Target' Checkout line,,, Target' - that's that new French store. any way there is a person in front of my buying some crayons,, and paper,, and markers,, scissors,,, a real craft fair....  OH and let me say that the NON express lines are packed ,,, 8 people deep - no lie,... so I am at one express line - with my TV WALL mount., behind the craft lady,,, the other express line has two people,,, with various items,,, not over the 12 max ,, but not one either...  Here comes FANCY SCHMANY lady,,, she is looking around,,,walks up to the other Xpress line,,, kinds counts the items,,,   looks at the sign,,,  comes over and looks at what we have,, craft lady and I ,..... back to the other register,,,, Now seriously looking like in a big hurry,,, looks at the other person in the other line,,, looks at me,,, LIKE I am gonna tell her to go 1st...  she starts with the Hurmph's ,,, more muttering to herself,,, Now exactly who is she ?? ,,,   while I think most of us want to be treated fairly,,, we don't want to kick the other guy to get ahead,,, we just want things to be fair,,,  If I am not next,, then let the person who is go next. (i have had verbal fights before over this)  and If I am next ,, then let me go next... But some of us think they are too good for that,,, too good to wait in line,, they drive up to the font of the store thinking that there will be a spot for them to park.  A table waiting for them in the diner, a doctor at their beckon call,... If they hurmph enough they will get their way,,, so she waited,,, behind me 1st,, then when I intentionally stalled the process by chatting the cashier over the Credit card or the Debit , and which should I use,... she moved to the other line,,, ...and as I left the store,, I bet you $1000 that it was her husband parked half in the lot half on the side walk - right in front of the store,,, BASTARD....   now I don't know where  we get these people ,, ut we never seems to run out of  'em.     If it's their Money ,,, their upbringing,,, their family,,, I don't know,,, but i hope that there is a special place in hell for these pricks that think they are better than the rest of us,

Have you seen my Grandson ??


 
 

What Happened?!?!?!?!

I have no Idear,,,,,,  seems many of the Posts are GONE ,... Whoosh,

They up and vanished like a fart in the wind.

No clue,,, probably something I did,,, If I ran outta space or room,, you would think they would lop them off from the 1st ones,, not the latet ones... oh well,, some of my best work.  THE HORROR.

Not much to tell,

 I can't watch Spring Training Baseball - means nothing, Don;t anyone get hurt, and let;s get the Season going in about a month.

Can we please stop with the Clocks,,,  Daylight Savings,,, UGH...

Even Me,, who like the cold is now tired of the Cold, So can it war up so we can all start bitchin about how how hot it is.

If you HBO and are not watchin TRUE DETECTIVE,,, you are missing out.

I have had enough of Shameless,,, this was spose to be a Sorta Comedy,,, how is a Baby being poisoned by Cocaine, and a Guy dying of Liver Failure comedy. Enough . 

Is my grandson the Cutest Kid ?!?!?!? (the answer is YES!)

Greetings....

Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer.
Cheer to all Whos far and near.
Christmas Day is in our grasp
so long as we have hands to clasp.
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.
Welcome, Christmas, while we stand

Heart to heart,… and hand in hand.

Rapid Robert !

Bob Feller passed away yesterday at the age of 92.... this man was not only a great Baseball player, and outstanding pitcher,,, with a record of 266 and 162,,, an era of 3.25, and over 2500 strikeouts,,, Rapid Robert remains the best pitcher in Cleveland Indians history. an 8 time All Star, and a world Series Champ in 1948.. He was also a Great American,,,

but that is not the end of the Feller Story..on Dec 8th 1941 He Enlisted in the Navy ! remember what happened the day Before ??? Imagine - an All Star Pitcher today enlisting for Combat in Iraq ?!?!?

He Volunteered immediately for combat service, becoming the first Major League Player to do so following the attack on Pearl Harbor Feller served as Gun Captain aboard the USS Alabama and missed four seasons during his service, being decorated with five campaign ribbons and eight battle stars .. Feller is the only C.P.O. in the Baseball Hall of Fame

The Phillies?

Really,,,,, ?? Well, guess that "Mystery Team " won out.... and ok,, If the World Series is not played in Philadelphia & Boston next year,,,,, I will be very Surprised,....

Yankees are in trouble me thinks,,,, IF Andy Retires,... it will just be worse,.. the Rotation right now is what ?? CC.. Hughes, Burnett, Joba,, and Nova.... That's not good,.... and just who is out there to go get as a starter ???? Does Cashman have a trade up his sleeve,,, We can only hope,....

Are Chris Benson, and Brandon Webb the Answer.......... we just might find out !

Sweepstakes

So I think all the offers have been made in the Cliff Lee deal,,,, must be pretty great having to decide on whose fortune to take,,,, and for how many years,,,, will he stay with Texas,,, or come to NYC. ??? or is there a third team out there,,, either way Mr Lee will be - if he is not already - a very rich man and his family for generations to come,.... I am betting he stays in Texas !

and as long as I am thinkin about it ....I DO NOT want to hear from any RED SOX fans about buying players, and championships,,, the Crawford deal was an over the top reaction to losing Teixeira - not the Carl Crawford is not a good player,,, or that he really makes their line up look much better,,,, He is and he will,..... just that - that kinda money is spent to WIN Pennants and World series,,, so - BO sox fans ,,, shut the !@%% UP !

Where are we headed after the Cliff Lee Sweepstakes ends, ?? Zack Grienke ?? oh boy , this guy developed head problems when he lost a few games in Kansas CITY -- Kansas CITY !
Let him come to the Bronx, and lose a few games,,, that walk from the Dugout - past the Bleachers - to the Bullpen to warm up , will seem like miles,,, and I bet that the creatures have more names to call ya than the folks in KC do !

Kim and I ran the Jingle JOG in Brooklyn yesterday,, in support of the Arthritis foundation,,,, it Poured, and was really wet the whole time,.....much smaller turnout than I expected,,,,the photos shows literally a thousand people,,,, there were less then 100,.... maybe the rain,,,??

ok,,, that's all for today,,,,
