Regarding the Blog Poll about MLB College Grads...

If you get Sports Illustrated as I do, courtesy of my son Jason's birthday gift, you would know that the answer is 26... The next question is...can you name 6 College Grads in MLB. Tony LaRussa does not count. He even has a Law Degree!

Questions About BM Card Night!!!

Who is the Dealer on Friday Night? Does anyone know how to play cards? Which games will we play? Who will be the “House”??? How much money should I bring? Can I bring my Six Shooter in case I see someone keeps eye-balling me? What about a cigar and whiskey? Will we be drinking Moon Shine? Will someone play the piano in the background just like they did in the good old days? What makes a good poker face? When we play 5 Card Stud do I have to take my shirt off? Can I say “Hit Me” or do I have to learn the secret hand motions?

Uggghhhh…

I’m GETTING FIRED UP!!!

CollegeWorld Series/Omaha/Leg Cramps

Cramps should not happen to players in High Profile Events.

COOL STUFF!!!

Maverick and Mr. Lucky Spotted in Atlantic City!

NEWS REPORT – June 19, 2009 – Atlantic City, NJ

Tonight was the night of our originally scheduled BM Card game. The game was canceled because of a Yo Cooker scheduling mix-Up… You may think this would upset some of the uncles. Well, you are wrong!

The Maverick and Mr. Lucky have taken up residency at Pit 5 in the Borgatta Casino, Atlantic City, NJ! The above photo was taken last night around 11:30 pm and surfaced on the internet this morning. It seems as if they are doing quite well. When asked to comment, Mr. Lucky slickfully rhymed, “I’ve got chicks to left of me, I’ve got chicks to my right. Call me Mr. 21 or Mr. Lucky Tonight!”

As you can see in the photo, The Maverick must be talking politics to the pretty Redhead. It is obvious that she is starting to nod off…

Check back for updates as we will be following two of the D-Street Swingers around Atlantic City as they prepare for NEXT WEEKS' BM Card Game…

POLITICS!!! President POST TURTLE ?

'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with'. hehehehe! (Hat tip to TJ)

A Pill Popper Puzzle...

Switching from a Prescription (Rx) to over-the counter (OTC) we were faced with this:

• the Rx said take 1 MG tablet two times per day

The OTC, which was the same thing, but much cheaper

• came in 400mcg tablets

Question is:

• how many 400mcg tablets=1MG tablet
• and how many 400mcg tablets does one take
• in a day to = 1 MG tablet
• prescribed to be taken 2xs per day

Anyone?...anyone?...Beuler...Ferris? I know the Post will challenge many an Attention Span, but this is a Real Test!

The GREATEST HITTER IN PA HISTORY

At a recent Phils game, a young fan asked: "Pop who was the greatest hitter in PA history?" The answer was quick and to the point, "Hot Corner Cooker." A current member of the Phils, hiding behind sun glasses, leaned in to hear the next question and answer. "And who has the most hits of anyone in baseball?" Again the answer Quick and Pointed: "Pete Rose!" The young lad exclaimed "Put Pete in the Hall!!" The eves dropping Phillie fainted.

I'm Formulating a Theory...Have You Ever Noticed?

When I am out and about driving in my little car and I encounter a bad (insert-your-own-adjective here) driver, I notice that they are frequently in a certain kind of car.  

1. Oldsmobile Cutlass - extra senior citizen driving way too slow
2. Suburban SUV - "super mom" talking on the car phone and changing lanes without looking
3. Subaru WRX - young, testosterone-filled males driving too fast 
4. 7 Series BMW - big black car bearing down on me in the passing lane, even though I'm going 75 mph, pulls right up on my bumper and zips past me.  Usually some stud execu-guy on his way to make the next big $$$ deal.
5. Subaru Outback - I've never seen an unsafe Outback driver.  Rumor has it that these cars are the "lesbian car".  I've had on for over 10 years and 126,000 miles, am I weird?

Do you have any data to add to this un-scientific research??

IT IS TIME FOR POLITICS!

Barak has nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be the next Justice on the Supreme Court...there are Nine of them, can you name them? Anyway, she submitted a Financial Statement that showed her Three biggest Bills as...

• Mortgage
• Credit Cards
• Dental Bill

No figures were revealed. Mortgage, Credit Card I can see...BUT...where did she find a Dentist that would take a monthly payment plan? AND! I don't understand how Dentist supposedly make a lot of $$$ when the average Dental Plan has an Annual Limit of $1500!

• PS...i expect no comments on this Post...it was just a "filler" cause our Dental Plan premium is due

Am I unreasonably Psyched about the Phils?

• They whip the Yankees
• The Nationals are patsies
• San Diego succumbs
• JA Happ excels
• That rookie kid "with an attitude" that the Graphic said he was from DR and I am wondering Delaware? throws 95mph in his debut
• Raul Rules
• J Rol has stunk & we still lead the METS by 3 & 1/2
• and they have 5 or six STUDS in the Farm System!

DYNASTY?

"How ya doing?"

When asked this question, do you ever say, "BAD" ...try it sometime. You will see how people don't listen, or people don't care.

The Womens World Series on ESPN...they are so enthusiastic! They don't wear HATS, they wear ribbons and head bands in their hair. The announcers are horrible...but they have the "Krucker" with them tonite! I need a good soft pitch softball game so I can wear either a head band or a ribbon in my hair !!
