Royals vs Jays -- Game 3 -- Time for a turn around
-
-
@brooksmd so safe?
-
Be careful
-
@Crimsonorblue22 only take 30 minutes. Humidity 55%.
-
A few royals there!
-
@brooksmd wish u could do mine.
-
See u all tmrw? Same time?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Think so…
-
@brooksmd Weather station on west side of house says 101.3 in the shade w/21% humidity. Is doable…tough but doable…Much above 35 % is a witch for me to breathe. Dinner bout done, then short nap, then Presleys Country Jubilee from Branson (best show there is) on RFD TV, then ------mo’ dang again, brush haulin’ this time…work never ends for the weary.
-
@globaljaybird take it easy!!!
-
@globaljaybird Well, done mowin, took kids out, scooped up grandma’s poop. She takes one step into grass and then poops/pees on sidewalk or driveway.
-
@brooksmd My new burn pile is already 10 H / 20 W. Once the long limbs are down to the ground that Stihl 036 Pro w/20 in bar does the trick. Wife helped so cut my time by an hour.
My oldest Boxer Roxy, used to go on the deck or porch by the time she lived her 11th winter, but you have to look after the ones you love. I still miss her- the most gentle doggie soul I’ve ever known. She was Woodrow’s mama & our first Boxer to whelp litters. Maybe I can find some old pics from those little darlings if I can remember where they are.

@globaljaybird @brooksmd speaking of gentle, not! Rio was ready to take my hand off today. He had a chewed up tp roll in his mouth and I had to go in. He scared me, no joke. Had 3 Goldens before him, gentle as can be. He’s so wild at times. Other times he’s great. Not sure what to do about it. Worry about the gkids and being stuck here forever cause he can’t behave. Foster care?

@Crimsonorblue22 Be patient-he’ll outgrow it. Rascal can still play so damn rough & snarl & growl so intense that it can be frightening at times, even grabbing at your pants legs & shoes if you turn your back, & he’s abt 2o months old now & weighs about 90 lbs. We’ve measured his vertical jump & it’s right at 7 feet. My fence around the backyard is 6 ft so, knock on wood, it’s kept him in so far. He’s a handful for sure. You have to stand up to them & they’ll eventually be submissive if you persist. Dogs instinctively do not want to fight, they just want dominance. If you hold an object that is longer than your arm like a broom or yardstick & just sort of push it at them they back down thinking it is an extension of your body-like a lion tamer uses a chair. Rio is just full of life & he’ll eventually mellow out & be everything you want, but it’ll take at least 18 months or longer. If you have not had him neutered, some of his natural hormonal instincts will be more difficult to overcome if ever, the longer you wait. Woodrow was our stud dog & man they are different birds. Not sure I could handle another one like him, & really wouldn’t even want to try. He was ALPHA DOG all the way. When my vet rang the doorbell the day we put him down, Woodrow growled & went to the door even as sick & weak as he had become. Was no problem to restrain at that point, but just 6 months before that he would have defended our (his territory) home literally with his life. That’s where the expression “He has balls” was applicable & Woody damn sure did. If you aren’t going to stud him then get him clipped soon as the vet says it’s time. You won’t regret it. Woodrow cleared that 6 ft fence more than once & was actually lost for 6 days in 2012. My son even drove back all night from Southbend, In. to help us search that week & that’s the same son who helped me dig his grave last July. Vet said he probably was after a female coyote & said dogs can pick up the scent a mile away.

@globaljaybird thx! A lot to think about. He’s not as gentle as usual for Goldens.

@Crimsonorblue22 We won’t see David Price after all this series. ROYALS/Jays 12;10 start today: This is from MSN MLB page this morning…
"RHP Edinson Volquez (10-5, 3.21 ERA) seeks his third straight victory as he faces Toronto for the second time this season. He gave up four runs in 5 1-3 innings against the Blue Jays on July 12, but only run one was earned.
Blue Jays: RHP R.A. Dickey (5-10, 4.27 ERA) will pitch on three days of rest in spot left vacant when LHP Felix Doubront was designated for assignment. Dickey moved up so new LHP David Price could get an extra day before his Toronto debut Monday against Minnesota."
-
@globaljaybird see that we’re sitting moose again. Rios in rt. thought we might put dyson there. Church, so a lil late for start.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Just leaving church and have a couple stops b4 heading for the barn.
-
@brooksmd waiting…
️
-
@brooksmd Da da da da da da da jeopardy theme…
-
@brooksmd we r losing while u Mickey Mouse around!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I was in church. And since town is 30 minute drive from the barn I did some errands. At least it’s not something frivolous like going to a movie.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Salvy’s poor hitting hasn’t affected his D. Good play on that bunt.
-
@brooksmd did u walk? Ha ha
-
Getting ugly!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 like the Royals are intentionally trying to hit them. Why would you hit a guy and put another runner on with Donaldson up next batting .346 with RISP? Not to mention the hitter had his toes right up on the line and turned into the pitch. Be glad to get out of Toronto.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 How come you didn’t start a new thread?
-
That was intentional.
-
@brooksmd w/myself?
-
@brooksmd crazy game! We need @globaljaybird
-
@brooksmd ump agreed w/u! Volquez is a hot head!
-
Whooo hooo
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Just got home- maybe too late for me. Zobrist doing his part… Need one more…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 didn’t think you liked Zobrist?
-
@globaljaybird bench clearing game!
-
Cain and salvy hitting
-
️
-
Can we juggle the lineup to get Zobrist up again in the 9th?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 he’ll yes… We do it all the time…
-
-
Would rather not see the jays again, especially in the playoffs.
-
@brooksmd The shit can hit… I wasn’t in favor of bringing him in for chemistry/personality issues. He was Bret Lawrie’s 2nd baseman in Oakland… Didn’t know how or if he would be accepted. But everyone loves a winner.
-
Jays hitters are good at waiting on fastball and just going with it wherever our guys put when it’s not waist high middle of the plate 90 % of the time.
-
Seems to me our hitters used to be pretty good at waiting on pitches.
-
@globaljaybird I’m keeping him!
-
Damn! Those look good
-
This game is pissing me off!
-
Looking on the bright side we didn’t get swept and we won’t lose tmrw.
-
,speaking of swept, gotta dust and vac.
-
Donaldson is a big cry baby!
