Ok, so the Rangers actually won a game and tonight we’re going to have to find something to watch other than Bush pere et filles throwing up out the ceremonial first pitch which you know Faux and Fiends will drag out as long as they can. We’ll talk more about that later.
In the mean time the Giants are still in the catbird seat, they don’t have to win a single game in Arlington so it’s all gravy. Both teams have decided to pitch their Aces only twice, not on short rest (a big mistake I think), so tonight’s matchup is Bumgarner and Hunter. They are, at best, the fourth best pitchers on each team. I maintain my prediction of a Pitchers’ Duel because it doesn’t cost me anything except my pride and surely one will turn up some time. Besides, I don’t want to raise your expectations of excitement. Baseball is a game of patience and one of the things that makes the games longer during the Playoffs is that the batters start doing what they should be doing all season- taking more pitches.
So don’t worry about answering your door for the Trick or Treaters, you probably won’t be missing anything important.

I always figured it was talent made a man big, you know, if I was the best at something. I mean, we’re the guys they come to see. Without us, there ain’t a ballgame. Yeah, but look at who’s holding the money and look at who’s facing a jail cell. Talent don’t mean nothing. And where’s Comiskey and Sullivan, Attell, Rothstein? Out in the back room cutting up profits, that’s where. That’s the damn conspiracy.
Look, champ. I know guys like that. I grew up with them. I was the fat kid they wouldn’t let play. “Sit down, fat boy”. That’s what they’d say “Sit down, maybe you’ll learn something.” Well, I learned something alright. Pretty soon, I owned the game, and those guys I grew up with come to me with their hats in their hands. Tell me, champ, all those years of puggin’, how much money did you make?

Pretty ballgames in the air.
I come from Chi,
I hardly try,
Just go to bat and fade and die.
Fortune’s coming my way, that’s why I hardly care.
I’m forever blowing ballgames,
And the gamblers treat us fair.

Everyone here is going to pass on the ceremonial ball, get more food, drinkage and whatever.

I’m not interested in the Bushes either.

The questions now are how and why.
Author
Lots of costumes.
for color commentary.
The other bunch, Dr. TMC , the daughter, s-i-l, & company are watching the Halloween Parade, Horror Movies and in & about the back. Pretty chilly night
The fires are lit & the circle is open.

The only question is if it’s on the throw or the catch.
Anyway, leadoff single.

no score, no DU’s added, lots of trivia about Nolan Ryan beating people up and silly costume shots.
He was a sports guy before he became a political guy.

too many other distractions here. However, so far tonight, there seems to be more rolling in the dirt.
