The Rangers are on a roll. Bochy and Maddux work real well together. Hitters up and down the lineup. Charismatic team. I woke up this morning and thought about Mike Maddux and the way he always puts his hand on the pitcher’s shoulder and then puts his fingers to his lips while he is talking. Now obviously Maddux does this for psychological reinforcement. I have to see next time which hand he places on the pitcher’s shoulder. Does he use a different hand for a lefty? Does he put his hand on the pitching shoulder or the other one?
Mike Maddux puts his left hand on a right handed pitcher’s shoulder. He puts his right hand on a left handed pitcher’s shoulder. Now we know.

I’m feeling sick. I can’t tell exactly what is wrong, but something is wrong. I never throw up but I’ve been drooling all over the place. Plus I’m all itchy. Remember me with a kind candle and tell Laffite he did what he could. Deep down he is a good person. I’m proud to have known him and to have taken batting practice with him during the 2023 Mardi Gras World Series home run contest. What was that Big L, a 442 shot to dead center?

No, that’s right, he doesn’t like baseball anymore, never mind and it was only a 402 shot to center. The gas I have in my intestine is extraordinary. You could take that gas out and throw a slider or a slurve easy. I am concerned somewhat with the gas versus the smell. The smell is taking what seems to me way too long. Used to be you farted and smelled it straight off. All this waiting around to smell it is abnormal.

But that’s the nature of sports. It’s all about competition and bodily functions. My dad was a professional wrestler. He had a constant nose bleed. He sorta looked like that one actor who played in that one movie about a professional wrestler, big guy, Anthony Quinn. He was a mean SOB , my dad, but my mom was even meaner.

Dad didn’t wear a wife beater T shirt or live in the garage. He used to go to work until he got fired. Then he got another job but quit. Dad did things his own way, which is to say he didn’t do much of anything at all. Did I love him? Not really, but he was a good bowler and professional wrestler.

Mom was a three pack a day Winston chain smoker and know it all. Just ask Mom. The family put Mom in this plush nursing home where the only rule was you can’t smoke inside. She smoked inside, in her room, again and again and got kicked out of the nursing home. I was for just letting her crawl around on the street but the family overruled me and took her cigarette smoking ass back home.
