Do I want a pet?
No, I do not. That seems a bit thin for a blog if I stop there, so I’ll expand. Pets are more trouble than they’re worth– to me. Don’t get me wrong– a lot of pets are loving, lovely and adorable. I guess maybe I think about pets the way some people think about kids.Continue reading “Do I want a pet?”

In baseball, one of the big, hot button topics between old school and new era players and fans is what a guy does immediately after hitting a homer.

Who would YOU choose?
Say you’re marooned in some hostile environment. Perhaps an alien planet, a dangerous jungle teeming with giant carnivores or who knows what?

That’s a No-no!
I’m writing this Sunday night, still thinking about having witnessed my first no-hitter by a Cubs pitcher in –maybe– ever. Alec Mills, a college walk-on pitcher who worked his way up through the ranks to the majors, threw a no-hitter against the Milwaukee Brewers today.
