Thirsty Thursday



Well, we are now one day away from the long weekend, and people are already starting to get Thirsty.  Bet if I trolled Wal-Mart and the Supermarkets that there has been a major run on beer and other adult beverages.  Hey, no problem, just don’t be stupid and drink and drive.

MLB.  Yankees and douchebaggery seem to go hand-in-hand.  Hey Aroldis Chapman, even if you weren’t doing it intentionally, lobbing a 100 MPH fastball that drifted towards the head of a Tampa batter ain’t cool and now the rumor is that there’s supposed to be some retribution coming the Stankees way.   One thing I noted was that after the pitch, Chapman took steps towards home plate. 

And by the way, what was with Tanaka throwing at the Tampa batter in the 1st Inning?  What Stankees, has Tampa punked you out like little bitches you are, so that’s your answer?  That being said, I’m a CONFIRMED Yankee HATER, but Kevin Cash can’t go out and say “I have a whole lot of pitchers that can throw 98 MPH.”  Dude, that’s out of line and you should be suspended just as long as Chapman. 

Hey Colorado, I get it was in Denver, but you let Los Gigantes hang 23 up on you – IN ONE GAME?  YGBSM…

Was sorry to read about Tom Seaver’s passing.  When I first started watching sports, one of the biggest names out there was Seaver.  If there is a silver lining in this – he is free of the dementia that apparently ravaged him. 

That being said, it’s great to read that Roberto Clemente Day this year will be next Wednesday, September 9th.  All Pirates will wear #21 on that night against the Chicago White Sox.

NFL.  We’re now 10 days away from the start of the NFL season and it doesn’t appear that the NFL is going to shut it down, and if they do it’ll be at the very last minute – which would be the most fucked up thing to do.  Fans need football, period.  Don’t jerk us around NFL. 

Kirk Cousins, just because you are the starting  QB for my Vikings, don’t think you’re immune to criticism.  My advice to you is to just stop talking to the media and let your play on the field do it. 

After getting cut in Jax, Leonard Fournette found a home in Tampa.  Good Lord, he’d better have a thick skin because TB12 is going to be knee deep in his ass holding him accountable for shit.  Best of luck Leonard…

CFB.  Look Nebraska, I get it, you’re pissed about not playing – but look on the bright side, it gives Scott Frost more time to fix that abomination in Lincoln and Lordy, you all need it.  You fuckers took the money and ran back in the day – had you stayed in the Big 12, you’d have less money, but you’d still be playing. 

NBA.  Stephen A. Smith, quit trying to manipulate shit.  If ever tampering was involved, it’s your ass whose doing it.  Leave the Greek Freak alone in Beer City and stop trying KD him to the Warriors.  It isn’t enough you’ve got two super teams in LA alone, now you want to have a third one in California?  If I was some of these owners, I’d say screw this and bail.  How are teams in Phoenix, Memphis, and Salt Lake supposed to compete?   Why would they want to?

And yet again, issues related to officiating in a playoff game.  When will the NBA ever learn?

Think I’m playing?  Sacramento is “furloughing” some employees until November.   I had heard some rumblings about this, and now we’re starting to see how things are going to go.  Look, I get it, Sacramento ain’t exactly the best run organization, but if they are struggling here, what do you think is happening elsewhere? 

Jerry’s Final Thought.  So, what was so positive today?  Well, I didn’t watch the news and that’s a start.  Secondly, we celebrate the formal surrender of Japan 75 years ago today – the pinnacle of the Greatest Generation, who would continue to do great things for this nation.  Thank you all.
