yesterday was one of the more draining days i can remember here lately. between the Italy and England game to the Yankees pissing away another lead, to the USMNT struggling to say the least and then all the Sunday night shows... i really could have used some better sleep...
the Italy and England game to finish off the Euro 2020 tournament was a classic. Luke Shaw scored for England just 2 minutes into the game. England never could get that second one though. Italy tied it up in the second half. England's manager was way too fucking cautious with his subs. the match went to penalty kicks. England missed their last 3 kicks. and of course, since the last 3 taking shots for England were black, you can imagine all the racist shit that came out after that. Italy won 1-1 (3-2).
the Yankees were up 7-2 going into the bottom of the 9th yesterday at Houston. they pissed away that lead and gave up a walk off homer to Altuve (of course) and the Astros won, 8-7. if that isn't proof that they need to fire the manager and make a few trades to shake everything up, i don't know what will do it. fuck, they might have to fire the general manager as well since he thinks the team just needs to play better and will go down with the ship if he has to. fuck me.
the USMNT defeated Haiti last night, 1-0, to start off group play at the Gold Cup. they will need to be way more clinical if they actually want to succeed in this tournament.
i just found out that "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff has died. one of my favorite heels when i was kid. rest in peace.
here are your highlights from Game 3 of the NBA Finals last night:
Big Brother was good last night. clearly, this has been a disaster of an HOH for Frenchie.
The Chi was excellent last night.
Black Monday was hilarious last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was really good last night.
Desus & Mero was great last night.
The White Lotus was great last night. i think i am really going to enjoy this series.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
if i get truly fucking bored tonight, i might watch some of the Home Run Derby.
i did listen to episode 351 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i was up at 7 this morning. i didn't sleep well, mostly because it rained most of the night. the ache i feel anymore in my bones, it is screaming for illegal drugs. i get the feeling an accidental overdose might be the last horizon of fun i have on this earth.
i did go to Lowe's yesterday and got a few things for the tomatoes. i'm hoping the bamboo stakes i got are going to work. after that, i went to Big Lots hoping to find some cards. i had a $5 off coupon i wanted to use. thankfully, i found 2 packs of 2021 Topps Heritage and 2 packs of 2021 Score football. the best card in the Heritage packs was a Mike Trout card. the best card in Score packs was a Trevor Lawrence rookie card.
the Yankees won last night in Houston, 1-0. Gerrit Cole pitched a complete game, three hit shutout. Aaron Judge hit a solo home run and trolled Altuve perfectly as he rounded third base. i'm hoping the Yankees get the sweep this afternoon.
ROH was very good last night.
Argentina defeated Brazil last night, 1-0, to win the Copa America. Messi finally won something for his country. it was the first time Argentina won a big tournament since 1993. it was also the first time Brazil lost a Copa America that was being held in Brazil.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, The White Lotus, The Chi, Black Monday, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Desus & Mero.
the Euro 2020 final is today. England is trying to end 55 years of misery. i would love to see them do it, but i have been riding Italy the entire tournament and i'm not going to stop now.
the USMNT plays Haiti tonight as they start in the Gold Cup.
Game 3 of the NBA Finals is tonight as well. hopefully, i'll catch some of that.
i didn't watch Judas and the Black Messiah last night. i'm saving it in case we get storms today like they are saying we will. then i'll watch the movie when the satellite is out.
i should be on here in the morning tomorrow, most likely.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

so, the wind blew over our tomatoes yesterday. i had just sat down to eat lunch and i heard mom shout out oh shit. of course, i thought something was wrong with her. we went outside to try to get them back up. we lost a few tomatoes in the process. mom of course, fell again, this time right into a barrel that i had next to the tomatoes for a little stability. we moved our picnic bench right up to them and put a chair on the other side of the barrel. i'm going to go out sometime in the next day or so and get some wooden stakes and twine to see if i can control them a little better. mom has never had tomatoes grow like this before. i told her Miracle-Gro today is not what it was twenty years ago.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
this light drizzle is driving me crazy. it is supposed to be storming here in a bit. i'd love to just get it over with.

the Yankees won last night out in Seattle, 12-1. hopefully this road trip wakes them the fuck up and they go on a long winning streak. either that or just start fucking losing and blow it all up.

it felt muggy as hell outside this morning. i watered the tomatoes because i know damn well, the rain chances around here today are slim and none.
mom and i went to Menards last night. we got a new suet bird feeder and more hot pepper suet. we also got some bamboo stakes for the tomatoes. i swear, those things are growing like they are on steroids. i was hoping we were going to find some plants to use on the back porch, but they didn't have anything mom liked. after Menards, she wanted her frozen coke from Burger King. i went to the one on the way home (sort of) and there's 20 minutes of my life i'll never get back. the frozen coke machine was defrosting so i just got her some water instead. her allergies were acting up. fun times.
