From 100 Losses 2 Years Ago..

To 100 wins and a division title this year, the Baltimore Orioles are a team to be reckoned with.  These guys seem to me to be a lot better then the 1997 team that lead the division wire to wire, and they were a veteran team!  Hopefully, this postseason will be a long and productive one.

And Everyone Wonders Why I’m The Way I Am

My childhood was not a very fun one. There were 3 events that happened that almost pushed me to the edge:

1: In 6th grade, my 2 closest friends, who I had been friends with for about 3 years, turned against me and joined the evil scum that tortured me because of my weight.  This was the one that hurt me the most, because I was totally in love with one of them, and was certain that I would have a future with her, we were 11 or12 at the time, so things were starting to happen  as with all kids.

2: in 1983, I was forced to throw my food away and leave a restaurant when some idiot came up, pointed at me started cussing and yelled “ that thing doesn’t need to be eating, look how big he is.”  This one  had me tempted at looking for a knife to slit my wrists.

3. This is a combo:  In 1984, a friend of my Mom’s said “My son weighed about 500 pounds when he was your age. he lost weight by going weeks and weeks without eating anything, why can’t you do that?”

     2 years later, this same friend came to visit, bringing her daughter in law (wife of the son mentioned above)  I had never seen this daughter in law before, and the first thing she said to me, wasn’t “Hi, How are ya? “  or “Go to Hell” but “You’re fat and ugly like my husband was when he was your age”

Again, I ask Is it any wonder that I’m so shy?

Such Hypocrisy

So much for the party of family values when one of your members is caught making out and groping her boyfriend in plain sight in a theater.  Will she be pressured to resign like Al Franken was?  Probably not!

I Refuse To Believe

That there is no one out there for me, and that I’m fated to be alone all my life!

Getting The Band Back Together

At last year’s trade deadline, my Baltimore Orioles traded their all star closer Jorge Lopez to the Twins for a couple of players, including this year’s all star set up man Yennier Cano.  After a stop in Miami, Lopez is back with the Orioles, having been claimed off of waivers.  He’s had a shaky season, with an ERA of over 6.00, but hopefully a change of scenery will do some good.  Lopez had a scoreless inning today, and looked pretty good.  With the O’s other all star closer, Felix Bautista out with an elbow injury and perhaps out for next season if he needs Tommy John surgery, this is a pretty good move if Lopez has a good rest of the season and the team decided to tender him a contract for next year. It’s always good to have a backup plan.

I Wish That This Was September 1, 1983

Instead of September 1, 2023.  Even though 83 was one of the worse years or my life, at least I got to celebrate my birthday with my parents.  This year is the first birthday without them…
