I thought I’d be drinking happy tonight. Then I find out Ray Liotta died today.
He brought Shoeless Joe Jackson back to life.
Tonight, I drink to honor Ray Liotta.
(Cracks first beer.)
A case of eight 16oz cans of beer costs around six bucks from Dollar General. That’s a steal.
Budweiser used to be my favorite cheap beer, but then I started liking Miller Lite better. Today, I decided to revisit Budweiser and see if there’s really much difference between the two beers.
Tigers and Guardians are tied. 4th inning.
The Tigers just swept the Orioles. This is the first three games in a row that they’ve won since the season started. Hope the streak continues.
Tomorrow, they’re playing the Ray’s at the cursed stadium of Tampa Bay.
I’m going to cook pork steaks for supper. Getting real hungry.
Yep, a brand new losing streak is well underway. Tonight’s games finished with 0-9. Isn’t that special? 😀
To the neighbor cooking bacon this evening. Mighty thoughtful of you. I’ll meet your challenge in the morning.
Anyway, the Tigers and Athletics had a doubleheader today. I didn’t see much of either game. We watched the last few innings of the afternoon game at my mom and dad’s house. The Tigers kicked ass, 6-0, and they ended the losing streak.
However, they seem hellbent on starting a new losing streak. The evening game just ended with the Athletics winning, 0-4.
My brother and I helped Dad expand the chicken pen.
This losing streak is dragging. Baez was ejected in the 9th when he argued with the ump. The pitch looked to me like it missed the strike zone too, but what do I know?
Then Miggy struck out, then Schoop. If someone had just gotten a decent hit there at the end, they might’ve turned it around.
0-2, Athletics.
I thought Justin Verlander was done recovering from his surgery. I saw him in the Astros’ dugout the other day, but I haven’t seen him pitching in this series.
It’s the top of 3rd, 0-0, one out.
First lawn mowin’ of year 2022. Was a bit muddy on the edges, but I plowed through.
If anyone gots a baseball field or somethin’ that they need mowed, I’m for hire. I take payments in cash or beer.
Baez played real hard tonight, I thought. Did you see how he dirtied up his uniform? Though he didn’t make it in himself, he played a big part in getting in the second run for the Tigers. The Tigers still lost. The game finished up with 2-3.
They’re 8-17 for the season, so far. It’s looking like another losing season. But I can live with it. I’m just happy to have baseball. Though none of the Detroit teams have been showing much promise, they are and will always be my favorite teams. I will always love the Detroit Tigers, Lions, Pistons and Red Wings.
I was up till 7:45 AM last night. The new story is a ghost story and I guess it’s coming out well, because it’s creeping me out as I write it.
I’ve been stopping production to watch the Tigers, and then get back to work as soon as the game is over. My desired minimum is still five pages into the novel and five pages into the story, and there’s a number of other things on the task list that I want done each day before I call it a night.
Depending on how focused I am on a given day, it can indeed take me into the late morning hours. Last night, I was so fucking tired when I completed that last page, I immediately shut my computer down and went straight to bed.
The Tigers and Yankees are on now. It’s still Spring Training. The Tigers’ regular season starts April 8.
