Brew Crew

The World Series has been great so far. Two hotly contested games between two teams who play baseball the way it’s meant to be played. Speed, defense, good pitching and timely hitting. The Brewers, in particular, are relentless, and I’ve found myself really hoping that they can win two more. One of my buddy’s Dad was a huge Brewers fan, and through the years I would bust his chops about how bad they were. He’d answer with 3 words; “F**k the Yankees!” He passed years back, but I’ve definitely been thinking about Hawk. He’d be loving this. And of course, Bob Uecker, who was an absolute legend, as a player, a comedian, and the Brewers play-by-play guy, Funny man. I recall reading his book when I was a teenager and I always tell one of his stories: “I can up with the bases loaded, two outs, down a run in the bottom of the ninth. Before the first pitch, I looked into my team’s dugout and my teammates and my manager were already dressed in civilian clothes.” He had a million great stories, a...

“Making Frickin’ Billions!”

If you haven’t caught the daily rally by the pedophile pig, I’ll save you some time. (He repeats the same crap every night). 1). The country is hot. This is insane because ALL of us are being destroyed by the price of gas, and the beating we are all taking at the grocery store. Here is the direct quote from King Shit for brains. “They tell me not to say anything because gas prices are high, but the oil and gas companies are making so much frickin’ money.” Does anyone gain any comfort in the fact that CEOs for oil and gas companies are raking it in at our expense? 2). The racist portion. There’s always a riff on how people from other countries are animals and scumbags. Last night it was Somalia. He usually starts cursing around here. “Shit hole this, Shit hole that.” 3). Homo Erotic. This is a new thing for him, but there have been allegations of having paid off male children in the Epstein files…but now: Every night he mentions the strength, shoulders, muscles, and asses of men he seem...

People Are Disappointing

I’m not quite sure how old I was - perhaps 17 or 18 years old - when my Dad dropped this gem on me: “95% of the people you meet are self-serving assholes who’d screw you over for a nickel.” I remember laughing, and mentioning how cynical he sounded. Turns out, from the vantage point of 62 years old, I’m wondering if he was a bit low with his estimate. From a political standpoint - forget it - they lie, cheat, steal as they breathe. The commotion over the political ad is another example of there being no bottom. We now have miserable behavior as our guide. Yelling “Quiet, piggy” at reporters. Calling people stupid. It is very juvenile, but it is not unimportant. How we are treating one another now - generally speaking - is despicable. This past week there was a question on a business deal, and through email exchanges it dawned on me that the person I was dealing with was straight up lying. I knew it to be true because I had an email exchange from months before that told the story. “You ...

No Freaking Way!!!

There was an absolutely shocking report released yesterday that seemed to verify that Lindsey Graham was a gay man! No freaking way!! Who would’ve guessed that the man they called Lady G had gay tendencies? Now the sad thing about it is that Graham sacrificed a whole lot to try and keep his secrets. Early on, he stood up and shouted down the orange pig. He warned that hooking up with the Donald would bring the end of the Republican Party. Called him a ‘nut job.’ And then he was invited golfing and something was whispered in his ear. The next day, he was pro-every-dumb-thing-that-came-out-of-the-pig’s-huge-mouth. It was more than a little disturbing. Graham, who was liked by many, on both sides of the aisle became a huge ‘nut job’ on his own. That’s the saddest part of this saga. Despite the fact that members of the GOP would like you to believe that they’re holier than thou and that being gay is the worst thing ever… …there are gay GOP members. We all knew that Graham had those tendenc...

Fascinating

It’s truly fascinating that a judge ruled that the Epstein Files were to be released, and we don’t have them because the man hiding them is in them as a pedophile. And no one is doing anything about the fact that he won’t release them. I find it utterly fascinating that we are now aligned with the nation that is aiding and abetting the country we are at war with. “Russia is only helping Iran a little,” the pig said. They’re helping them kill Americans! I never thought that we would excuse treason. No big deal, I guess. I find it fascinating that we are having an election in a couple of weeks, and the working theory is that he is encouraging cheating, and may have cut a deal with Russia to corrupt the election. “He’s going to cheat.” And we seem to be accepting it. Then there’s Mad Mogul Mr. Musk as Mick Jagger called him. He supposedly personally attacked Ukraine (although his partner in crime was a fat, orange, pedophile). One of them did it. We all know it. And it appears there’s not...

I Guess I’m Old

Junior Caminero finally hit a homer for the Rays in Game 6 versus Cleveland. He’s a good player. He had 42 homers this year, but he wasn’t doing much in the playoffs until he finally connected. And then he started to round the bases. Took him more than 30 seconds to make the trip because he stopped halfway to first so he could beat on his chest. He had also flipped his bat about 30’ in the air. Between second and third he slowed so he could point to three of four different sections. Between 2nd and 3rd he cupped his ear as if he couldn’t hear the adoring crowd. Then he started spinning and pointing up as he tapped his heart. Yeah. I’m old. I thought he looked like an ass. I’m sure the guy he hit the homer off of wasn’t overly thrilled. Paul O’Neill had my favorite all-time homerun trot. He used to drop his head, and hustle his way around the bases. It was almost as if he were embarrassed for having hit it. Now, of course, the young baseball fan says stupid shit like: “Baseball is borin...

Iron Mike

Netflix is doing the recounting of Mike Tyson’s life. Of course, I was coming of age in the 80’s and lived through his rise and fall. I distinctly remember going to a friend’s house to watch Tyson-Spinks on pay-per-view. We chipped in and settled in and 💥  91 seconds. We had one beer and left. And then I watched his fall when Buster Douglas took him down. My Mom watched that fight with us. She wasn’t a Tyson fan. You haven’t lived until you watch your mother yelling: “Go, Buster, go!” The documentary is fascinating because it’s the rise of a man and his eventual fall, and his fight to just stay alive. He had the marriage to Robin Givens, and how that relationship went to hell.  He reportedly demolished every room in his mansion after an argument. “I didn’t handle that one well.” You remember it all too. The rape charge. Biting the ear of one of his opponents. Getting a face tattoo. Buying a lion. He’s a couple of years younger than me, and while I felt like I’ve lived a full ...
