Catching up

Went to the Tribe game Wednesday -- I needed a break, wanted a bobblehead, and here we are... it was nice, just to sit and watch a game... the ending wasn't as fun, of course.  I mean, Plutko will never be, well, Trevor Bauer, but he is serviceable, at least for now.  I made a comment that you almost want to see Tomlin instead of Allen, and while I wasn't being totally serious...well, his inability to pitch is a problem.  I mean, the rotation is pretty solid; and while the offense has its gaps... but they really have one reliever they can rely on; everyone else is a question.  I am surprised they didn't make a move today... still time, but, if Drew Butera -- of all people -- can be moved, I can't fathom why we cannot even find a new arm, just to kick the tires.

Yes, talent is one way to describe it, but as I always say, if you can't stand President Trump...well, wait until you get President Pence.  Of course, most GOPers would...prefer President Pence, if you get my drift. :)

This was interesting; I liked the part about feeling like a weirdo for being the only conservative in the room...

This could be me, but I have no problem with saying that some people really need to be locked up and throw the key away... I have never understood why for some on the left, this is such an issue....
