i swear, anytime i have sat back in my massage chair today, i have gone to sleep. i guess i'm tired or something. i can't imagine why...
so, the Yankees won yesterday down in Miami over the Marlins, 3-1. Anthony Rizzo launched his first homer as a Yankee in his first game. he'll fit right in. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
Back on the Record With Bob Costas was good last night.
The Shop was excellent last night.
i got up this morning and watched the USA men's basketball team defeat the Czech Republic, 119-84.
i had to go to Kroger this afternoon to get my prescription that they finally had ready and some pain pills and gels for mom. thankfully, they had everything she wanted.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm sure i might watch some MLS games tonight as well as the baseball game. i did watch some of both TBT games today. at least the second game was close.
i'm going to try to be on here early tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today is the trade deadline day in the MLB. so, i'm typing this up with one eye on the TV and my phone to see if the Yankees make any moves, especially after they shocked me yesterday by getting Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs. no one saw that coming.
so, let's start with the Yankees game yesterday. they lost to the Rays, 14-0. i turned the damn game off in the first inning. not good. the Yankees start a series tonight down in Miami. oh great, National League rules again.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NXT UK was very good yesterday.
Big Brother was good last night. Brent got evicted and Christian is the new HOH.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
the USMNT defeated Qatar last night, 1-0. they will face Mexico in the final of the Gold Cup on Sunday, as they defeated Canada last night, 2-1.
the USA women's basketball team defeated Japan last night, 86-69.
the USWNT defeated the Netherlands today at the Olympics in a penalty shootout, 2-2 (4-2). that advances them to the semifinals against Canada.
so it cost $271 to get the garage door fixed this morning. the circuit board was blown and the spring needed to have more tension on it. the guy doing it had a very thick Russian accent. thankfully, i could understand him.
so, at the time that was going on, my mother had her nurse and her physical therapist here. talk about a zoo.
i did watch a decent amount of the NBA Draft last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, The Shop, Real Time with Bill Maher and Back on the Record With Bob Costas. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
thankfully, the humidity and heat sort of broke today. i was able to turn the AC off and air the house out a bit.
so, apparently the Yankees just traded for Andrew Heaney from the Angels. they gave two prospects from the minor leagues for him. he's a left handed pitcher, but i don't know if they are planning on using him as a starter or in relief.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

so i woke up right before we got a little rain and thunder this morning. i took my blood sugar and then went outside to get the newspaper. i came back in and the garage door wouldn't shut. i made sure nothing was in its way, or misaligned, etc.etc... still no luck. mom called the service number and they told her they couldn't get anyone out here until tomorrow. so, i manually shut the damn thing. i don't think i have anywhere to go today anyway.
AEW was great last night.
Big Brother was good last night. Brent has to be the dumbest player to ever be on Big Brother. i can't wait for him to be evicted tonight.
the Yankees won last night down in Tampa, 3-1. they also made a huge trade yesterday, getting Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers. it's not official yet, but a huge lefty bat is exactly what this team has needed all season. hopefully the Yankees will get the sweep of the Rays this afternoon.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime today on Peacock.

i did get some baseball and football cards today. 3 Fairfield boxes totally $15. i think i got close to $40 worth total out of the boxes, the majority of that coming from the football box that had some great rookies in it (Justin Fields, Cee Dee Lamb, Kyle Pitts, etc.).
NXT was really good last night.
Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away was great last night.
Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.
i did stay up last night to watch the USA men's basketball team destroy Iran, 120-66.
enjoy some music:

i was really saddened today to learn of the death of Dusty Hill. i grew up on the sound of ZZ Top and absolutely loved watching him play the bass. part of the reason i learned how to play the bass. rest easy amigo, you will never be forgotten.
Manchester United had another friendly today. they played Brentford and it ended up being a 2-2 draw. i only saw some of the highlights from the game.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i know my damn back needs a damn ice pack and my massage chair soon.

so i woke up to Simone Biles pulling out of the gymnastics competition this morning. i laughed at all the dumb fucks bashing her. no one really understands mental health in this country. and sadly, i doubt we ever will.
i did stay up to watch the USA women's basketball team play in the Olympics last night. they defeated Nigeria, 81-72. thank god i didn't stay up to watch the USWNT take on Australia in soccer. 0-0 draws at 4 in the morning are not my thing anymore. that point does get them to the quarterfinals though.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. it could have been better.
enjoy some music:

the Yankees play tonight at that fucking dump in Tampa. if they have any delusions about making the playoffs, they need to start winning games in bunches.
i love what Manchester United did today.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today is the birthday of my dead father. i never have liked this day. probably never will. some scars just run deeper than others i guess.
yesterday was one of those days where hardly fucking anything went my way.
the only thing that did was in the Gold Cup. Canada defeated Costa Rica, 2-0. the USA defeated Jamaica, 1-0. i love what Matthew Hoppe brings to this team. he has a certain "fuck you" to him when he's out there that i wish more of the players had. so, now on July 29th, the USA will play Qatar and Mexico plays Canada. winners will face each other in the final on August 1st.
the Yankees were winning yesterday, 4-0 and Domingo German was throwing a no-hitter. he gave up a double in the 8th inning. no big deal. they pulled him from the game and the bullpen absolutely shit the bed. the Red Sox scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th and won the game, 5-4. i swear, this season can't fucking end fast enough.
the Red Scare forgot to play good defense yesterday and some key players couldn't hit the fucking ocean when they were shooting. they lost to Category 5, 76-69.
Big Brother was good last night. i truly hope Brent gets evicted this week.
The White Lotus was very good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.
The Chi was really good last night. season finale is next week.
Black Monday was fucking hilarious last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was good last night.
Desus & Mero was really funny last night.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i did listen to episode 353 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i imagine i might watch some of the Olympics late tonight. it probably all depends on what is live at that time.
i did get my order from Carnival Baseball today. 10 baseball cards of hall of famers. i was hoping for some older cards, but i can't complain with what i got. the best cards in the two packs were a 1990 Topps Frank Thomas rookie card and a 1990 Topps Ken Griffey Jr.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the Yankees scored 4 runs in the 8th to shock the Red Sox and most of us Yankee fans as well, to win yesterday, 4-3. hopefully, they can get the split of the series this afternoon.
Tig Notaro: Drawn was fucking hilarious last night.
ROH was good last night.
Manchester United lost that friendly against QPR yesterday, 4-2.
at the Gold Cup yesterday, Qatar defeated El Salvador, 3-2. Mexico beat Honduras, 3-0. today, Costa Rica plays Canada and USA takes on Jamaica.
i did watch a good portion of the Columbus Crew victory over Atlanta yesterday, 1-0.
i thought the New York Rangers did pretty well in the NHL Draft yesterday. now comes the fun of free agency.
the Red Scare won their TBT game yesterday, 88-44. they play again this afternoon. hopefully, they will win again.

it stormed here last night, which made for yet another night of shitty sleep.
a big thank you to everyone who has checked out my latest SoundCloud recording:
my poem "listening to old nina simone records", first published at The Beatnik Cowboy, is my latest SoundCloud recording. you can listen to the poem by going here:
i got up early this morning. early enough, that i got to see most of the USWNT defeated New Zealand, 6-1. it could have been 10 goals if not for the 4 offside calls.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
the Yankees lost last night in Boston, 6-2. any momentum they had coming into this series is now dead.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight is ROH and Tig Notaro: Drawn.
i did watch most of the first round of the NHL Draft last night. i didn't mind the Rangers pick. i'll take anyone who is a in your face player for this team.
Manchester United and Queens Park Rangers are playing a friendly today. currently, QPR is winning, 2-1. shit, make that 3-1 now. ok, now it is 4-1. thank god i'm not watching.
the Red Scare start their run in the TBT today. hopefully, they will get a victory.
i'll probably watch some of the MLS today and the rest of the NHL Draft.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning.
i might be on here late tonight with another SoundCloud recording.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Holey Moley was fucking hilarious last night.
When Nature Calls was very good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. Frenchie got evicted, 11-1, and i believe Xavier is the new HOH.
Desus & Mero was excellent last night.
the Yankees lost to Boston last night in 10 innings, 5-4. they pissed away leads in the 9th and 10th in epic fashion. truly, this loss was like a punch to the dick.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
i didn't get up early to watch the Opening Ceremony and i won't be watching it tonight either. i'm sure i will watch some of the soccer and basketball when i get a chance. the problem i have when the Olympics are in Asia is i can't stand watching replays of games when i already know what the final score is. so, there will be some either late, late nights or some really early mornings if i want to watch any of these games live.
the first round of the NHL Draft is tonight. i'm very interested to see what the New York Rangers will do tonight.
Manchester United finally made the Jadon Sancho transfer official today. hopefully he will do great things at the club.

so, mom had her echocardiogram today. i had to wait out in the waiting room. i brought along pen and paper, just in case i had some poems come to me. by the time she was done, i had 5 poems written. these are the first waiting room poems in over a year. her exam went well. after she was done, we went to Perkins for lunch. i looked up the nutritional info while we were sitting there. i told her she could have two brioche slices of french toast and fit it into her sodium numbers. she was thrilled. as she was eating, i told her she's going to have a nice nap once she gets home. she is currently in her bed asleep. as for the poems, they are typed up. i like them. i believe i will send them out together, probably early next month.
the Yankees won last night over the Phillies, 6-5 in 10 innings. they start a series tonight in Boston. hopefully, they will keep on winning.

i also have no clue if i am really going to give two shits about the Olympics or not this year. i know i have no interest in being up really early to watch the Opening Ceremony.

so, i guess the house next to me is going to be sold by this coming Monday. i have no damn clue who the new neighbors will be. i did find out today that the house next to them is going to be up for sale soon. and given the age of my other neighbors (85 and 92), that house should be up for sale soon as well. i know my wish for diversity won't come true, so someone younger or a whore would do nicely as well.
i have to take mom to have an echocardiogram done tomorrow afternoon. i will most likely be doing the blog when we get home from that.
i did get 2 boxes of Fairfield football cards today. i paid $10 for both boxes combined. the 2 Joe Burrow and 2 Justin Fields rookie cards i found in the boxes are worth more than the $10 i paid. good times.

so, i opened the football cards i got from Panini yesterday. i have had decent success with the 2021 Score football cards so far. i wasn't thrilled with the first couple of packs, and then came the Trevor Lawrence rookie cards. i got 3 of them. that made me happy, especially since one is a gold parallel that should be worth plenty. i'm guessing i got about 5 times what i paid for the box.
