What a fine opening day

I really hate it when Google snatches up another account.  I go to log in and BAD PASSWORD.

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

Only one team in history of the NBA has won more games by double digits then the Bucks this year.  The Philadelphia 76ers.  NOW - with that said the Bucks Do play in the weaker conference and while they have a .787 winning % over the east it's only .689 vs. the west.

STILL - it's not like Milwaukee has a choice who they play. 

Then in baseball - what a great opening day for the Brewers and all of baseball actually - so many thing happened around the league.

a list

Lorrenzo Cain robs a game tying HR to win the game for the Brewers.
Yelich?  another MVP?  We all know what HE did yesterday.

Should the Brewers bat Chacin 4th? 

The LA Dodgers hit EIGHT home runs. The most ever HRs by one team on Opening day.

Bryce Harper - ranked by players as the most overrated player in baseball - does nothing.

Giancarlo Stanton ripped a single that had a exit velocity off the bat as 120.6 mph.  The firth hardest hit since statcast started keeping track in 2015.   OH - of the 8 balls that have been hit at over 120mph . . he has 7 of them.

MLB The Show ran a simulation using rosters from March 26th.  They have the Brewers winning 67 games.  The Phillies 104.  Last year they predicted the Brewers would be one of the most disappointing teams winning 81 games.  So . . . take that with a grain of salt.

++++++++++++++++

I mentioned I tend to lean left on most things.  I was not always so vocal.  My mom was a liberal and my dad was not.  They had a ton of arguments about politics which I just tuned out. I didn't care at the time like most kids.

I remember how people felt when Reagan was voted in.  PRETTY much how people feel right now.  Afraid, horrified and disgusted.  BUT - as we see . . . we are still alive and everything can be reversed.  I would be more afraid of Reagan then Trump.

Reagan had brains (not that I agreed but he was at least an adult) and the backing of the GOP. Trump is just a coward who spews words and childish insults with no substance.

But what I laugh at is how right wingers threaten me.  Yesterday - WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND.

What? I have a background?  I would love to hear it.  I was a happy person until I was elected to city council and then it all went south because I actually cared and learned how bad the GOP actually is for the people they pretend to rule.

I always knew I was left leaning socially but financially I had no problems with being conservative fiscally.  But as we see now - the GOP is NOT fiscally conservative  anymore and waste money all the time, giving it away to the rich and not to the people that actually need the money.

What to poor people do when they get money - the spend it, helping the economy. What do the rich and corporations do with all their extra money?  Save it. Buy back stocks. They certainly are not increasing wages for the staff.  They are not hiring more because there are no more to hire.

as most economists say - a society with full employment is not a healthy society.

I have the believe people call themselves Republicans only because their parents were Republicans and as a all know the REAL Republican party is dead.  90% of them now are just greed mongers and haters. The Republican Party is the party of fear and hate. They want you to be afraid of what MIGHT happen so they can get your votes.

We're getting close.

Lighting, more railings and a few other things like the rain chains and so forth.

Meanwhile in the market - Bank stocks are typically a forerunner to the broader market and as you can see they have been nonperforming for about a year now.  Probably why the DOW has been stuck in neutral for a year now.
