Hummingbird Mint - Kavanaugh

This will show you what kind of mood I'm in

In line at McDonalds . . . . shitty little kid
behind me screaming he wants an
apple pie at his mother.

I get to counter...

Me: Hi I'll have a Number 3, large . . . and
excuse me how many apple pies do you
have back there....

McD worker:  12

Me: I'll take them ALL

HEY YOU KID GET OFF MY LAWN!

LOL speaking of bad moods.  Safety Earl Thomas - ended his hold out with Seattle without getting more money . . . was carted off the field yesterday with a broken leg and gave the finger to the Seattle sideline as he was leaving.

Insert burning bridge. 

*********************************

OK OK - sorry  LOL   Fighting a tiny cold that seems to be. on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being in the cold death bed . . . a 2 . . for a week now!

Gus was having a fun day among the Blue Fortune Hummingbird Mint Saturday.  When you mow near this you get a wonderful spearmint aroma.   

***********************

The whole Kavanaugh thing - the ONE thing that gets me is that he did not even listen to Ford's testimony.  Didn't have too?  Did not care?  I tell ya - if I'm being accused of something REALLY damaging . . . I would be a little interested in what I allegedly did wouldn't you?

One more thing - seems his mates are coming out saying he was a BAD BAD drunk.  SURPRISE!

Senate  29.3% chance of Blue taking senate  THERE IS A CHANCE
House 21.9% chance Red keeps the house   NO CHANCE    LOL

Baseball - Chris Davis's nightmare is over and congratulations.  The Baltimore Orioles spent 161 million on a guy that just broke the all time record for worst batting average EVER for a player with 400 or more ABs    .168 in 510ish plate appearances.

MEANWHILE - Yelich's last  ABS

The three true outcomes of baseball right there.    Get rid of those pesky strikeouts and he might make a name for himself.

It's going to be MUCH warmer in Chicago today then Milwaukee.  High of 74 winds from the east meaning with blowing in.  Another low scoring bullpen games.

OH - won my Bridgejumper 5 star play of the year yesterday - Patriots  - system is now  59-16 in 25 years.   A team getting crushed by the spread playing a team crushing the spread plays a HOME game as a favorite.  This means a team is a good team (still a favorite) that has been playing poorly and comes home to prove they are good.  BAM - MONEY!

My Strat-o-matic team ended teh season with 92 wins - one less from last year.  Next year will be tough.

I'll be able to acquire Manny Machado as a free agent Shortstop and his 37 (.907 OPS) home runs with Yelich (.997 OPS)  and Freddie Freeman (.892 OPS)   all three had 100 RBs  but after that it sort of drops off significantly/  Franco a Philly at 3B (.780 OPS) and then . . ummmmm . .  both my starting catchers were hurt for the year so I have no catchers.  No second base but I'll trade my slick fielding SS for something.

zero pitching - they all sucked this year. 

*****************

Brewers Cubs - pretty even game and Chicago has a 52% chance of winning - basically that is home field advantage right there.   Brewers starting pitcher will be Chacin going the first 3 innings then bull pen.  Cubs a lefty  No home runs today!   Small ball and bull pen.  Wind blowing in from right field off the lake.  Run line is 8   Cubs are -128 and Brewers are +108
