SinceThe70s

I'm not a TBD old timer so not familiar with Cindy but prayers up all the same.

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll Billy Joel to me

No doubt about the Patriots - and I thought similar as I was typing my post. I've spent the majority of my life rooting for teams with limited success. I want more! And as it turns out the three teams I root for are all looking pretty good right now. But I need at least one to dominate. Bills may be the most likely of the three to do that.

Fun fact: At 41 years and 136 days, Rich Hill was the second-oldest pitcher to make his Mets debut. Warren Spahn’s debut with the Mets came at 43 years and 356 days when he pitched against the Astros on April 14, 1965. I had no idea Warren Spahn ever threw a pitch for the Mets - or pitched into his 40's.

I want a team that can beat everyone else no matter how hard it is. This team and Josh gives me hope that we are on that path. I don't think the 90's Bills would have won a SB if Marino wasn't in our division - and if Watson becomes a Dolphin I'll still expect Josh and the Bills to still be better. IMO, great teams/players embrace playing and beating other great teams/players. Go Bills!

Hey fellows, better change your ways, Or they'll be leaving this town in a matter of days, One day, one day and it won't be long, And all them fine chicks will be gone, 'Cos I'm Leaving, Leaving Here,

@YoloinOhioI both love and hate this. @JMF2006 thanks for the heads up!

I keep a journal of memories I'm feeling lonely, I can't breathe Fall to pieces, I'm falling Fell to pieces and I'm still falling

They missed an opportunity to change the name to Midges in honor of Joba. I would've bought that dumb hat for sure!

Follow me now and you will not regret Leaving the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine Forever with me 'till the end of time Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way i'm going to feel I'm going to feel I'm going to feel

For the record I totally get that these are my perceptions and that others don't share them. I don't think I ever lobbied for retaining Chief Wahoo, I'm just happy that I got my dumb hat before it was too late. The reality is that I don't/won't wear it publicly as I understand that others view it as offensive. I considered wearing it when I went to an Indians game a few weeks ago but decided against it.

It is pretty close - which is why I didn't dismiss it but chose to address it instead. But just so I understand your point of view with regard to 'pure racism' - if I'm as cool with a HR-hitting Indian as I am with a TD-scoring Cowboy, as if I am with a HR-hitting Marlin as I am with a HR-hitting ecclesiast (Padre, Angel), as I am with a HR-hitting guy that wears red socks (actually I'm not too cool with them - but that's another post), as I am with a HR-hitting sea-faring dude (Mariner), as I am with a HR-hitting guy who makes one of my favorite drinks (Brewers) as I am with etc.... am I displaying pure racism? IMO nicknames are intended to acknowledge/celebrate strength not to denigrate or diminish. I don't believe that Cleveland Indian was ever intended to denigrate or diminish anyone and for me personally the connotation was that of strong people and a formidable opponent. With kindest regards, Dumb hat

LAMP Alert! Read on at your own discretion. Today I learned that when my teenage boys are waiting for their video games to start up they watch Bob Ross paint sh!t.

That's not the image on my hat that I referred to as iconic. With that said, your image shows an ultra happy/confident guy who thinks he's gonna hit the next pitch over the wall. I'm cool with that regardless the color of his skin.

So are you tough enough for my love Just close your eyes to the heaven above I'm coming home I'm coming home

Our concern is making it to the Super Bowl, not who we will face or what it takes for that team to get the opportunity to lose to us.

Dick Mountain* to the rescue! * - Rich Hall's nickname from another team - and the name my youngest used when he told me of the trade! Good times.

A few years ago I saw this coming and my youngest remembered something I said - resulting in a Chief Wahoo hat for my birthday. Greatest gift my kids have given me. The Guardians logo will never be as iconic as Chief Wahoo.

***** on feel the noize Girls rock your boys

We've done four already but now we're steady And then they went: One, two, three, four"

I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran Twenty red lights in his honor Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

Not a song I normally have much use for, but a fitting tribute to the guitarist of a band I listened to. RIP.

Holy crap, what a show Polar Bear put on last night. His first round of 35 was astonishing.

I can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well

LOL - I had the opposite Met day. Saw the 5 run first and left the house still up 5. Bad loss for sure but Diaz has been good this year - very good in one inning save opportunities. He's not going anywhere. The mid-season bottom line for me is that in spite of an absurd number of injuries and some grossly underperforming players we are in first place. We have 3 bonafide starters and the bullpen (even Famiilia) has been pretty damn good. Plus I can't wait to see if they add a major piece (Kris Bryant?) before the trade deadline.
