Adley Ruschman,  Rookie of the Year Gunnar Henderson, All Star Austin Hayes,  exciting outfielders Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander make up the hitters.  In the offseason, the O’s added former Cy Young award winner Corbin Burnes to anchor the rotation along (when he returns from injury) Kyle Bradish, John Means, Dead Kremer, and Grayson Rodriguez.  Because all-world closer Felix Rodriguez will miss this season after undergoing elbow surgery, the team signed future hall of fame closer Craig Kimbrel to team with super setup man Yennier Cano to slam the door shut at the end of games.  Thing at Camden Yards look pretty good for this season!  Plus  with the Yankees losing Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole for at least 2 months with an injury should help the O’s make some space in the division.</font></p>Billy Delawderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08477303314161611102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7140299.post-34047903487437264072024-03-12T22:45:00.001-04:002024-03-12T22:45:26.815-04:00What I’m Looking For<p><font size="3">I’m looking for a woman that will love me despite all my quirks and what I’ve been through in the past, and will stick by me no matter what.  Since I can’t have kids, I would have no problem with a single mother.

Option number 2: stay with my sister Julie in West Virginia.  The only problem with that was that around Thanksgiving time, Moorefield was hit by a flood and just about wiped off the face of the map.  “it’s only for a week, it’s not going to hurt you, check out some books from the library and take your homework with you if you have any,” Mom said.  So, that was a very boring Christmas vacation for me, as you can only read so much and watch so much TV, because that’s about the only things I could do.  OK, now enough about me (for now), so on to the fun stuff…</p> <p> </p> <p>To get to the cruise ship, Mom and Dad had to fly from Dulles Airport to Miami.  Dad found out really fast that he was afraid of flying.  Mom said, the longer the flight went, the greener Dad got, and the longer it went, the more a guy in the next aisle drank.</p> <p> </p> <p>So they made it to Miami, got on the cruise ship, and had a good time, but when they returned to Miami, Dad said “you can fly if you want, but I’m not.”  So they looked for a car, but the only thing they could find was a U-Haul truck, so they drove it back hone to Fairfax to get their car and then drive up to Moorefield to pick me up.  A large truck hauling just them and 2 pieces of luggage.</p> <p> </p> <p>Now for a funny postscript:</p> <p> </p> <p>When we got back home, I was totally exhausted, so I went to bed. When I was a kid, I slept pretty soundly, and when I woke up, I had a habit of losing all sense of time.  So I get up sometime in the night, thinking its maybe 1 or 2 in the morning to go to the bathroom, I noticed that the bathroom door was shut, but being half asleep, I did nothing but open the door and…</p> <p>I get hit by a blast of stem, and see a figure wrapped in a towel ,and immediately begin screaming my  lungs out.  What has happened was that my sister Lori had put a piece of wood into out wood stove that was a bit to big for the stove or at a bad angle and knocked the stovepipe lose a bit. Dad had fixed, it got ashes and soot all over himself, and took a showe to clean up.  So quite a fun time for all hehe.</p>Billy Delawderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08477303314161611102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7140299.post-37303048195606253712023-12-19T23:04:00.001-04:002023-12-19T23:04:34.260-04:00So What You Gonna Do, Texas?<p><font size="3">Set up roadblocks at all exits to the state and make every woman travelling in a car take a pregnancy test and keep them from leaving the state if they are?</font></p>Billy Delawderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08477303314161611102noreply@blogger.com0
