last night was one of those nights. i was completely glued in to Game 7 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. and the joy from a memorable Game 7, is i never come down from that high for a few days. the Rangers scored first last night. that made me happy. but, just like the last two elimination games, they fell behind, 3-2, going into the 3rd period. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd to send the game to overtime. there is something magical about Game 7 overtimes at MSG. this was no different. the Rangers got a great play from K'Andre Miller to draw a penalty on the Penguins. and wouldn't you know, Artemi Panarin scored on the power play to give the Rangers a 4-3 OT victory. they became the first team in NHL history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a series where they had to come from behind in each of the elimination games to win the series. they will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Wednesday. this was the first time in 5 years the Rangers have advanced to the second round.
both Game 7's went into overtime as Calgary defeated Dallas 3-2 in OT.
so the next round of the playoffs have some really juicy series. the Lightning play the Panthers in the battle of Florida. the Blues and Avalanche should be rather entertaining. the Rangers will play Carolina, which has 6 former Rangers on the team. and then of course, the battle of Alberta, Edmonton vs. Calgary. i can remember growing up watching those games. that should be fascinating to see that again. the second round starts tomorrow night.
both Game 7's in the NBA yesterday were blowouts. here are your highlights:
the New York Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-1. they start a series tonight at Baltimore. the Yankees have the best record in MLB at 25-9.
i did write 3 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i haven't typed those up yet. i had to run to Lowe's to get tomato food and another tomato cage, just in case the one tower we have doesn't work like we hope it will. i was supposed to go to the bank as well, but mom didn't have my check ready yet. so, i guess i will be doing that tomorrow afternoon.
i have to take her to the doctor in the morning tomorrow so we can go over her MRI results. i don't think mom is looking forward to it.

i did listen to episode 395 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, on the way to the car dealership this morning, it was snowing. by the time i got out of the dealership, the sun was blazing like it was fucking summer. welcome to Ohio.
so, the check engine light on the Highlander was about the fuel valve. it needs to be replaced. the part will be in on Friday afternoon and i have to take it in there on Saturday morning (8 AM). i believe this is going to cost over $800. fuck me.
after i got done at the car dealership, i went and met an old friend. we haven't seen each other in over a decade. i gave her the Christmas present that got sent back to me. she looked happy at least. it was good seeing her again. hopefully, it won't be a decade again before the next time.
NXT was really good last night.

so, my sister got here last night and mom sent her to get some food. i put my phone down over by my chair and turned around and my mother had fallen again. she doesn't know what happened, so now i'm wondering if she's having blackouts. and of course, my brain immediately jumped to she has a tumor or something in her brain that is causing this shit. now, the more likely scenario is she tripped over her shoes or the side of her chair as she was getting to her walker. i swear, i am going to handcuff that fucking thing to her so she always has it near her. after i got her up, i told her, and you wonder why i'm going to be an addict soon.

the Yankees beat the Twins last night, 10-2. hopefully they will win again this afternoon.

so, i did open the baseball cards last night. it was a value box of 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter. i got a good number of rookies and some really nice cards in it. i haven't seen any values on them yet, but i'm pretty sure it will be worth more than what i paid for them.
enjoy some music:

we've had storms and shit weather around us for the last 24 hours. this is the house of apathy today. the best way i can explain the pain i have is take a knife and drive it into the middle of your back, right through your spine. and then move around, cook food, help clean, answer emails, do a blog, run a small business and try to create some poems in whatever the fuck spare time is. i'm not sure many people actually understand this life. and honestly, i'm tired of trying to explain it.
i did open the 2021 Topps Stadium Club box last night. if i had to guess, the cards in it are going to be worth way more than the $25 for the box.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Holey Moley was very funny last night.

i think my sister is coming down here tomorrow for a few hours. i know she is supposed to bring the umbrella for our table on the back porch. she'll probably freak out when she sees the tomatoes.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. of course, that is if my arthritis allows it.

so, i was in my room trying to get this blog started, etc. and my mother was out in the garage working with some plants. next thing i know i hear the door open and she wants me to come out there because she spilled dirt all over the place. it's not that the garage is fucking spotless to begin with, it is my mother's inability to ask for fucking help, ever. so, as i was out there sweeping up and trying to get the dirt where she wants it, she fucking falls. she said repeatedly that she was fine and i replied with, now you have no fucking choice, you are using a walker everywhere you fucking go. and i get the feeling, i'm going to have to play the asshole and make her use it. like literally strap her fucking wrist to one. this is not how i wanted my Saturday to begin. oh, where is my sister you ask? she is out with her friends, who have always been more important than her family. my sister snapped at my mother last night when mom complained about being sore after 15 minutes of yoga. my sister tends to forget that mom nearly died 4 months ago. i know she doesn't want to think about it as then it would mean she has to face her own fears about death. and god forbid you realize that you are going to fucking die one day. i crossed that fucking bridge nearly 40 years ago. been looking forward to it ever since. so, i spent most of last night just listening to my mother cry and bitch about my sister. good times.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
AEW was pretty good last night as well.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH and MLW.
the Yankees play this afternoon at Philadelphia.
i'm sure i'll watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight.
i am enjoying watching the Euro 2020 so far. Italy won yesterday 3-0 and i watched Wales and Switzerland finish up 1-1 this morning.
holy shit, i was watching Finland vs. Denmark and watched Christian Eriksen collapse. it doesn't look good and the match has been suspended.
so i started off this morning knowing that two "major" events were going to be taking place at the same time this morning. Manchester United playing for the Community Shield and A-Rod was having a press conference at Yankee Stadium. i might as well start there...
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 5-2. later that night, word came out that there was going to be a press conference today at 11 AM. thankfully, the Yankees sent out a press release right before the press conference stating what was going on. A-Rod's last game will be on this upcoming Friday, mostly so he can play his final game in front of his mother. after that, the team will unconditionally release him from his player contract. he then will become a special advisor to the team, directly reporting to the owner. more or less, he's still owed $27 million dollars and they are going to force him to earn it one way or another. and since he's shot as a baseball player... so the Yankees went out on win one for Alex day and did just that, winning 3-2. they are off tomorrow before starting a series in Boston. if i was the manager, i'd play Alex at least once in Boston, so those fans can get one more loud boo in for him.
so i didn't watch much of the press conference so i could focus on the Community Shield. you can really tell that Manchester United is still searching for chemistry and fitness. hats off to Jesse Lingard for yet another amazing goal at Wembley. United had the lead 1-0 at half. Leicester City came out and really pressed in the second half. of course, a stupid fucking back pass from Fellaini helped them out as well. but in the 83rd minute, enter the man who wants to be the God of Manchester.
Zlatan scores his first Manchester United goal that ends up winning the Community Shield for the 21st time. i certainly love when a team plays like shit and still wins. plenty of room for improvement. and they now can end the streak for Community Shield winners not winning the league. all in all, i really think this team can do magical things this season, especially when United sent this out on their website.
holy shit, i guess the Paul Pogba rumors are true. the club confirmed he was getting his medical done today. well, well, well... this season will be interesting for sure.
congrats to the boys on the trophy, hopefully the first of many this season.
i watched ROH this afternoon as it didn't record last night for some reason. another excellent episode, as usual.
i really enjoyed Austin City Limits last night. Ms. Lauryn Hill hasn't missed a beat over the years. simply amazing.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power, The Night Of, Ballers, Vice Principals, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and Roadies.
i did watch team USA women's soccer defeat France yesterday 1-0. they really played a great second half and earned that victory. the USA men's basketball team destroyed China last night, 119-62. i don't think they will play a close game in the Olympics. hopefully i'm wrong, but i doubt it.
well, now i have some drinking to go do and maybe a little poetic magic tricks as well. maybe.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

if you didn't watch Game 7 last night, you missed out on a great conclusion to one of the better playoff series in the last decade or so. here's a long winded recap of the game:
so The King started off strong:
then, of course, Ovechkin scored to give Washington a 1-0 lead. that would last until the second period when this happened:
and just so everyone knew this was a real hockey game:
the 1-1 score stayed the same for all of the 3rd period and the first 10 minutes of overtime. Washington had a ton of chances in those 10 minutes, but The King was standing on his head tonight. and then, ecstasy:
from the Canadian broadcast:
and then every New York Rangers fan, including this one, could be like this:
watch as Mr. Guarantee (Ovechkin) tries to get through the handshake line as fast as possible:
what a fucking win. the Rangers become the first NHL team EVER to come back from 3-1 deficits in the playoffs in consecutive years. that is also their 14th straight one goal game in the playoffs. also, first time the Rangers scored a Game 7 OT goal since 1994 (the last year they won the Stanley Cup). here's some more highlights from the game:
they will play Tampa in the Eastern Conference Finals starting on Saturday afternoon.
after that game, i broke out the hard shit. a couple ice cubes, some whiskey, some cola and laughing while watching Capitals players cry. i know that makes me an evil prick, but i'm not afraid of that label, so i might as well fucking enjoy it.
the New York Yankees started off strong again last night. got some more decent pitching, but once again, forgot that they have to score more than just in the first inning. 3-2 loss to Tampa. they will look to split the series tonight.
amazingly, i also caught NXT and Lucha Underground last night. both episodes were good. here's a couple of clips:
it's amazing at how much i enjoy both of these shows more than i do Monday Night Raw most weeks.
here's some late night laughs to clean your pallet:
as for tonight, i guess i'll watch some playoff basketball and then Lip Sync Battle, The Comedians, and Louie. plus, i believe Tom Waits is supposed to be on Letterman tonight, so i'll definitely be watching that. that might end up on the DVR as well.
i was home alone for most of the day but i was so damn spent from last night, i didn't do much of anything. i broke out the vacuum, fed the birds and repaired one of the solar lights. duct tape, my old friend. other than that, read the paper and watched porn. good times.
here's some more laughs for you:
not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe my sister is coming down tonight before she goes on vacation. not like i'm in the loop with what actually goes on with this family.
maybe tomorrow i'll type up some poems. that sounds like a plan.
hope this finds everyone in good spirits. unless you happen to live in Washington D.C., which had one of the worst sports nights last night in a long time. (they deserve it.)

i typed up the three poems about my father this morning. not sure when or if i'll be sending those out.
the New York Yankees got some great pitching once again last night and the offense decided to join in for a change. a good 5-2 win over a very good Tigers team. hopefully the Yankees can get a winning streak going again tonight. it won't be easy.
the New York Rangers go for a big 3-1 series lead tonight against the Penguins. hopefully the great road defense shows up again.
i was pretty happy with who got voted off The Voice last night. i think the best 8 performers are still on the show now. the competition will be pretty damn tough from here on out.
i haven't even got around to watching Deadliest Catch from last night. and since i have to take mom to the grocery store here in a little bit, i highly doubt i will get to watch it before the games tonight.
so, also on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground and i will have to hop on the WWE Network at some point to catch NXT.
Undateable was really fucking funny last night. that show is quickly becoming a guilty pleasure.
the weather has taken a turn back to winter today. the windchill makes it feel like it's in the 30's today. so much for spring.
for a little twist today, here's some music for you:
that's all for me today. i need to get ready to go to the grocery store and be the creepy fucker looking at hot women. good times.

i truly enjoy how bizarre my life is at some times. in my shower last night, i knocked off the scab that has formed on my left leg. well, little did i know, i was still bleeding when i went to bed last night. so, i now know how much i toss and turn. plus, i couldn't fall asleep for shit last night. thankfully, the west coast feed of Cinemax had some eye candy on at 6 this morning. 5 minutes later, and i was ready for a good nap.
and i truly know any weekend is going to be great when i wake up to watch Manchester City lose to West Ham.
after i get done with this, i need to feed the animals out here and get that done before El Clasico. i should try to get to the post office as well as i might have a package there waiting for me.
after the soccer match, mom and i will be heading down to UD Arena for some basketball. hopefully there is some decent parking left as we'll be getting there a little late.
after that, we need to swing by the grocery store to get my drugs. i didn't realize i was low until this morning.
i had a very musical evening last night. i watched the documentary on Swedish House Mafia before i saw Sonic Highways on HBO. i knew of the bands they were talking about in the Washington, D.C. punk scene, just never knew the real history of it. so, that was a very good history lesson. plus, the song that the Foo Fighters came up with at the end was fucking great. that's two weeks in a row that i have really enjoyed the show. that makes it must see from now on.
Ohio State plays on the road tonight, at Penn State. that should be a very tough environment for the young Buckeyes, but hopefully i will be drinking a victory beer later tonight.
i do believe Saturday Night Live is new tonight. and i will hopefully still be awake to watch the new episode of ROH.
my sister got in late last night/this morning. amazingly, she was up after about 6 hours of sleep. usually when she comes here she'll sleep a good 9 hours before she decides to get up. i know she wants me to burn some music for her sometime today. so, i'm going to be interested to see where the fuck i squeeze that in.
i will be on here tomorrow morning as Manchester United plays Chelsea at noon. and with all my fantasy football shit to do in the morning so i don't miss the game, i'm going to be pressed for time. basically because i will be glued to the United game. hopefully they shock the world. more on that tomorrow.
i do hope your Friday night has become a good Saturday. have a good stiff drink and only fuck the ones that cough. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.
