Inquisitive people really want to know...

Good times ...

18. Philadelphia Phillies

Petriello: There’s a version of this that goes extremely well for the 2020 Phillies. That’s the version where Bryce Harper is the MVP we saw in 2015, where Zack Wheeler makes good on all the love that advanced metrics have given him by taking that final step into acehood, where Aaron Nola and Rhys Hoskins bounce back from disappointing years, where Jake Arrieta, Andrew McCutchen and Didi Gregorius are healthy and productive, where some of the young players like Scott Kingery or Alec Bohm break through.

It’s not that hard to see some of this, really. It’s just hard to see a lot of that happening at the same time, and more importantly, the NL East is a pretty tough division to play in

A Short Story about a Long delivery

Back in early January, brother Tim accompanied me on a visit to the VA doctor. Timothy is my "listener". They know us there! Been going there together for more than eight years now.

On this visit , Tim asked the nurse if she could provide me with a handicap parking permit.

Helen said, sure. " I'll get the paperwork ready while the Doc sees you". Doc comes in, asks his questions, probes, types on his lap-top, nods, types on his lap-top & signs the Form for the permit!

On the same day we visited the VA Doc I ordered a lounge chair on e-bay.

Within five business days the 80lb chair was delivered from a warehouse in California to Lancaster, Pa & I am Loving it!  Makes it so EZ to Rise & Shine!

Meanwhile, this Monday, 2/17/2020 will mark week # five since I sent the DMV

form to Harrisburg, Pa with no response!

Brother Tim, the Listener, even called the Local State Rep days ago to complain.

He told them, "My brother got an 80lb handicap chair delivered from a warehouse in Ca in 5 business days & you people are incapable of delivering a one ounce plaque the 38 miles from Hbg to Lancaster within Five Weeks!@#$%!

Let that sink in! Five days for delivery of an 80lb chair over 3000 miles...

And it is now Five weeks and No delivery of a 

one ounce Handicap plaque from our State Capitol 38 miles away!

And there will be no plaque delivered this Monday because it is a Federal Holiday!@#$%!

Spring training gets going next week in Clearwater

Well, I have never been to Clearwater, but I have been to The Keys...and one of the keys to the Phils this year is Vincent Velasquez...
https://www.inquirer.com/phillies/phillies-vince-velasquez-mike-fiers-houston-astros-sign-stealing-20200214.html


And Vincent recently brought up the Astros cheating in the 2017 World Series vs The Dodgers.

And I thought... What would Michael think about this?

I'm not even sure about the details of what happened more than two years ago, but!

• The Astros played the Dodgers in the World Series & the Astros won.

• But the news came out this past Fall that the Astros cheated!

The Astros had devised a plan to let their batters know if a fast ball or a breaking ball was coming!

Somebody in the hallway to the dugout would get the info & bang on a trash can,

once if a fastball was coming & 2x's for a breaker.

• So, Major League Baseball fired the Manager & the General Manager and when they found out other Managers were doing the same stuff they fired them too...

But what about the players?

The guys that knew what was going on & played along?

Put Pete in The Hall before he dies...

Yesterday at the local coffee shop

Jason would not allow Brynn to wander

I think this sign was why.

joe biden, frontrunner...& well paid Pundits are clueless, but they do Lectures.

Per David Brooks. The 'conservative' columnist with the New York Times along w/some edits by Pea.

Let us now join Brooks in the middle of his January Biden hype: 

Almost everybody was bearish (as opposed to bullish) on Joe. But now look where we are, weeks from actual voting. If the polls are to be believed, Biden will win Iowa (he came in 5th), he’ll come in second in New Hampshire ( it was so bad he left early in the day), he will easily win Nevada (to be determined), he will dominate in South Carolina (his support went from +53% to +27% since Nancy decided to impeach Trump) . He’s now tied for the lead in California and he’s way ahead in Texas. (Joe may not make it to California or Texas primaries on Super Tuesday, March 3) Bloomberg bought all the oxygen for that day!

And David Brooks gets paid big bucks for this babble, babble, babble!

Pea is for Politics

New Hampshire  primary tonight...

...and who is Amy Klobuchar?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Klobuchar

Well, The Pea blog has been predicting the rise of Klobuchar for more than 

two months now.

When I look at the Dem candidates she comes off as less nuts than the others...

• Grew up in Minnesota
• Went to Yale on a scholarship
• Graduated from Chicago University Law School
• Got into politics because after giving birth to her daughter the hospital discharged her 24 hrs. later  even though her new baby had a breathing problem. Pissed Amy off!

If I were a democrat I would write a check to the Klobuchar campaign 'cause they need the $$$ to go forward in Nevada, S. Carolina & elsewhere...

And I am telling you guys...on a debate stage?

Amy will have a response to this kind of move by "The hovering Donald"!

Of course you do have Michael as an option...

One more thing about Amy Klobuchar,

Apparently, she can be nasty...

She reportedly is willing to eat a salad with a comb!

Now that is Honey Badger Nasty!

Days you remember...

February 10, 1967 was a rainy Friday. Dad drove me to 401 N Broad. We arrived  at 6:39AM...

Full day of interviews, physicals and a lot of swearing.

By 4PM we were on a train to NC. Arrived late afternoon on Saturday.

And they took a photo!

And my finger prints!

So that's why I remember February 10

Imagine the stories they can tell...

Joni Mitchell with Crosby, Stills, Nash and that other guy...

Why Joni didn't go to Woodstock with the boys...

Biden to voter, "You're a lying two faced pony soldier"

Not sure the young lady got the joke. I certainly didn't, and I am a jokester!

The Interview. By request.

The morning after...

A 4 & one half year recap...

The ride down the escalator in 2015

• The statement that Mexico was not sending their best people
• The Access Hollywood revelation

• Crossfire Hurricane Investigation begun in July '16 before the election
• Wire tapping of Trump Tower before the election
• Election night 2016

• Morning after... Purple Haze!

• Russia sponsored Troll Farms accusations...Russia stole the election!
• Face Book also contributed to stealing the election by running ads!
• Cambridge Analytics
• Crowd Strike

Crossfire Hurricane FBI investigation turned over to Special Prosecutor

Robert Mueller to investigate Russia collusion in the 2016 election.

• 19 US Attorneys
• 40 FBI agents to investigate
• 2800 subpoenas
• 500 search warrants
• 500 witnesses interviewed
• Just wait for Mueller Time they said...
• 22 months later... $30+million & Mueller found nothing impeachable

I am aware that Mueller left questions and doubts, but he left democrats with little leverage. He left them confused & angry. Not a good combination. Mueller & his crew were a total waste of time & money! And most rational people understand that whole process was a total debacle for democrats & the media. An embarassement.  Cable News got great ratings though & made lots of money...

Some quotes from the media:

"the walls are closing in on him"

"another Bombshell"

"this news is a game changer"

"he is done! this is the end of this administration"

"it's the beginning of the end"

It has gone on & on & on...

Michael Avenatti/Stormy Daniels/Anderson Cooper

 NOW say they have the goods on Trump!

Not to mention, Michael Cohn,

Manafort, General Flynn, Carter Page,

Popadapolous...blah, blah, blah...

Avenatti is now in jail, Stormy is still angry

and Cooper is still at CNN

And then! Up steps The Colonel! I got this, he says...

This President of ours asked for a favor! I personally heard the phone call.

He did not follow the talking points I wrote for him!

And I have a Purple Heart!

So the Colonel calls his buddy Eric Chiaramella

Eric worked at the CIA/for Brennan/for Biden/in the White House

and he becomes the "Whistle Blower"!

Enter Adam & Jerry...who have never met the Whistle Blower

and have no idea who he/she is...

(psst...his first name is Eric/last name Chiaramella)

...and Nancy, who prayed...

whatever that means.

She finally decided that the Mother-F....er had to be Impeached...

And Nancy got what she wanted.

The M...fer will remain impeached forever!

So to Nancy and her gang I sing this song...

"when you got nothing you got nothing to lose, you are invisible, you got no secrets to conceal...

how does it feel...to be on your own, no direction home...like a rolling stone*

*(like a rolling stone/bob dylan)

Impeachment ended on Wednesday with a whimper...

... tomorrow is another day & I am sure there will be more at play!

Can't wait for election day, Nov 3, 2020,  to see if there can be some return to sanity...

Meanwhile

Amen & God Bless...
