Supertramp - and Kolton Wong

Supertramp - I'm surprised how many people did not know they loved Supertramp.  We played the concert for some others and they said they kept saying WHAT? That is Supertramp also?  It's like they are the unknown band with over a dozen hits that ever buy knows.   

I've become a fan AGAIN.  Even I am surprised how many songs they had.  I picked up Retrospectacle: The Supertramp Anthology . . . 2:34 of their hit 32 songs!   

This is a really beautiful little song by Roger Hodgskins (still touring).

And if you want to see what the entire band looks like 





 ********************

BREWERS - It seems the NL Central in MLB is the division where all 5 teams are tanking - BUT WAIT - The brewers just picked up Kolton Wong - THAT is not the way to tank.   Wong is FANTASTIC.   

One of the very best fielding second baseman with a really good On Base and sneaky power.  A true star . . if he can ever put all facets of his game together in one year.  

I mean REALLY good at 2B.  Enough to lower pitcher ERAS by 0.25 all by himself.  Unlike Hiura who LITERALLY was one of the worst 2B in MLB.  Seriously - HORRIBLE. 

So with the weather warming up finally and pitcher and catchers reporting in 13 days spring is almost here.  It's almost time for baseball and I'm dusting off my team in Strat o Matic - I'm listing my team more for me as I have not really put this down on paper yet - each position needs 700 Plate appearances (PAs)  this year we are multiplying PAs * 3 to get a full 162 season 


Catcher
Jason Castro 276 PAs .668 OPS
Cam Gallagher 180 PAs .790 OPS
Bryan Holiday 99 PAs  .406 OPS

1B - Nobody
2B - Nobody
SS - Nobody
3B - Tommy Edman 681 PA  .685 OPS

LF Christian Yelich   741 PA  .791 OPS
CF Mike Trout  723 PA 1.003 OPS
RF Kevin Pillar 669 PAs .875 OPS

That's it for the Offense - not really World Series caliber  BUT WAIT - Check out the pitching staff

Starting Pitching 
Patrick Corbin   4.66 ERA  Full time starter 
Robbie Erlin  8.10 ERA    
Jorge Lopez 6.69 ERA
Jordan Lyles 7.02 ERA

BullPen
LITERALLY nobody  

So here I am World series champs and because of Covid and injuries I really have no real team at all AND I have the last pick in every round in the draft.  By the time I get my 2nd draft pick 47 players have been picked.   I'm goign from winning 90+ games for 4 years to MAYBE winning 40?  LOL  

Plus using a DH  this year  . . . my DH will be about as good as a pitcher hitting. 

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

Coming soon - how to make REALLY good Enchiladas from scratch with photos.  I forgot photos the last part so you will have to wait a bit but these are REALLY good (as I have been told from multiple sources).




It's a ground beef Enchiladas with actual Ancho peppers.  Not what they made on Schitts Creek

MEANWHILE

Canopy Growth Corporation launched a new line of CBD products for dogs

Yup  Martha Stewart has teamed up with Canopy Growth.  CGC is up 206% since September 20th and 82% since the election and a whopping 343% since March 18th.  now at $43.12.  

OH - I brag but I have had losers   VDOT and Insituform stand out (total losses).   But a fair amount of winners (Bitcoin and CGC at the moment)  Bitcoin is up 31% since Jan 1.

And no - I'm not touching GameStop - that is pure gambling. 

OK OK - go Tampa Bay.  HEY - I might not like tom Brady's politics but I ill route for a 70 year old in the SuperBowl.  KC has been there before. and Mahomes will have a short career. with Concussions and broken bones.  Seriously - If Brady wins it really is a feather in his cap.  Gotta admit it.  

AS long as New England is not playing I'm good- and really - I don't care who wins.   All I know is on TV they said if you have a party have it outdoors!  

YEA,   -14 Come on outside everybody we're watching the game outside. 

Cheers
