So as Brewer fans pound their chests at how awesome "we" are we can forget that in 4 games vs. the Cubs the Brewers had a TOTAL of 14 hits, IN FOUR GAMES!
Of course the only way the Brew Crew can score runs is via the home run it seems and playing in Wrigley in spring is a horrific place for the Brewers to play. Wrigley in spring is the worst place in the world for the Brewers left handed hitters. One of the hardest if not the hardest park to hit a home run in.
Miller Park is GREAT for Brewer left handed hitters - outstanding place to play. Home Runs everywhere for lefties. But the very worst parks for the Brewers is Wrigley Field unless you are a right handed batter.

It's such a small world isn't it? I mean there was this guy in Columbus that locks himself in a house and is killed (somehow - yet to be determined) and all of a sudden I get texts from friends around America who were friends with him. They talk about how he was a funny funny guy and how they knew he had some mental health issues and how they were so sad it ended tragically. Of course his girl friend that was shot seems to be pissed off at police as what the did was completely unnecessary . . but I digress
Of course DOJ is investigating which tells me that there are some oddities going on but that is for a different blog and I was accused to being an arm chair blogger . . so I will wait for the real facts to come out. All I know is from people that work at DOJ say there might be some . . oddities. We shall see.
So it's a small world where everyone knows everyone. I find out last week that a friend in my golf league is literally best friend with a long lost friend for 30 years ago. WHAT?
In the late 70s and 80s about 30 of us would play 3 games of softball every weekend at Tenny Park from teh very first Saturday wit ha dry field to literall the first snow. After a few years two teams were created. Creative Software (my team) which became Weather Central, which was purchased by WKOW which was then purchased by The Weather Channel and the other team which created a new cab company in Madison called Union Cab.
The 30 of us men AND woman we played maybe 15 years, EVERY Saturday until the city decided to bulldoze the diamonds and then 30 friends all went their separate ways. It was literally a sad sad summer when that happened.
So we're talking at golf last week and Mark (The Black Cloud) mentions a name. I perk up and say "who was that again"? and the name is repeated and I start asking questions on where this guy lives and where he used to live many years ago and all of a sudden The Black Cloud says, he started Union cab! WHAT? SERIOUSLY? And he is your best friend?
A small world.
Then 30 years ago a friend and I were on a baseball park vacation. Something like 8 ballparks in 10 days on the East Coast. We were camping in PA and the ranger drives by. Then 1/2 hour later he drives by REAL slow and then comes around again and stops. Shit , what did we do THIS time.
He gets out and we're talking, "Yup from Wisconsin". "Madison yup" and he asked, "do you happen to know a Bob Anderson?: Our mouths drop as Chris says "that is my brother". WTF?
So now every time I call AT&T or Charter with a problem and an Indian is talking to me I ask of they know a Roup or Moulie my two Indian friends. They never do.
OH - that baseball vacation. We staying in ONE motel the entire trip. In Cleveland. We stopped at this places - asked for a room and the guy asked "All night?" "yes all night". LOL He has t oasked how much a room was for all night. It was a very . . . . . . "active" place it seems. The only places we did not have any toilette paper.
I mention that last part and I vividly remember this. We were all packed ready to leave for vacation when Chris runs in to get a roll of toilette paper. We all laughed.
We NEVER used it . . .except in the ONE Motel we stay in which did not have any.

Interesting weather thing going on. I feel "we" are about 3 weeks behind in our growing season. My beautiful ground cover under the deck is completely dead and gardens are way way behind.
The issue is that there is such a lack of vegetation in the area that humidity is lower because of it. The reason Wisconsin is so humid in the summer are the crops. Corn and soy beans and all the other crops add moisture to the air. This humidity keeps the air warm at night. If you have noticed there has been a 40 degrees swing in temps.
Yesterday 39.2 to 79.8, 40 degree!
Look out tomorrow with a possibility of severe storms in the afternoon into the night. Rain tonight but not severe - all depends how warm and how much sun we get today. The more sun the bigger storms tonight after sunset. Tomorrow- scattered thunderstorms all day. Looking like 1 to 2 inches of needed rain tonight into Thursday.

Speaking of North Korea - You will notice that I have NEVER said I disagreed with how Trump was handling North Korea. Sometimes you have to fight crazy with crazy and hope the world does not blow up in the meantime.
But with the sudden change in Kim I wonder if it has to do to his mountain collapsing. The one where they test their nukes. All of a sudden they are not testing and IT SEEMS that mountain is a lot shorter now from what I have heard.

Have a great Tuesday.
