Busy Saturday, Sports Teams In Action And Prepping For A Sale!

My Tigers continue to struggle. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. The pitching is in disarray due to injury. The offense is stagnant with few guys producing. Three key players are on the injury list. I have always maintained that a team who isn't producing when starters go down then the... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Day In The Treasure Valley.

I had a very quiet day. I should have dusted my house but I just did my exercises, walked 11,095 steps which included 4 15 minute walks and 500 steps per hour as well over an 8 hour period. One of the things I do after I awake and have my first glass of water is to print my puzzles in the eedition... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Crazy Day In Detroit Sports.

Two time Cy Young recipient Tarik Skubal went down with loose bodies in his pitching elbow. It not a serious surgery but will take 2 to 3 months to recover. He could possibly be back the middle of August. Tonight's pitcher Framber Valdez had a nightmare start. An error in the first inning and then a... Sign in to see full entry.

Somewhat Busy On An 84 Degree Monday!

My son-in-law came by after work to mow my lawn. It happened to be the hottest part of the day. Luckily for him he didn’t have to bag the clippings. I'm always pleased when the clippings get mulched back into the yard because it's free food for the lawn. I'm supposed to get my first treatment for... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Game In Orlando Yesterday.

The Pistons were down 24 points at half time. Jessica and Chris stayed in town to see the game but for awhile it looked like they might get an early start on theircamp trip. Chris the ever optimistic fan said, There's still a half to go." The Pistons came out with high energy and literally shut down... Sign in to see full entry.

Whacky Day For My Teams Yesterday.

My Pistons and Tigers were playing at the same time last night. Pistons were facing elimination while the Tigers were trying to avoid another road series loss. The Pistons won but not without a tense 4th quarter. So many Pistons missed their shots but Cade Cunningham saved it for the Pistons with a... Sign in to see full entry.
