3rd Base.

Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.

In no particular order of chronology or importance…

Not on the clock technically.  Yes, an airplane cast.  Thursday evening cast starting at the airport being severely delayed and then finishing on either the plane or the hotel room if I get stranded here in San Jose (on editing, in the plane at midnight), Semi-speed version per hook (because it is so late, it is SUPER speed version-sorry).  This will be a good one.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Work trip and plane delayed.  Three part cast-I am exhausted but need to blog.  Let’s move.  Onward and upward.
2. YES.  JUST GOT HOME FROM A WORK TRIP AND IT IS 3:18am, and my FIRST order of business before sleeping for two hours is posting this blog I wrote on the plane…
3. Briles was fired during my work trip. Here is the deal.  Magic what he did to that program, but because no one has done it that fast, we have to assume a few bad seeds were brought in.
4. No editing on this, guys. Sorry for grammatical errors.  I am not getting WIFI on plane, but will post as my last action before crashing when I get home at 2am tonight.  But exhaustion lays after blogging in my priority list.
5. Starting one sentence hooks NOW.
6. After starting out a little rough, David Price…is rounding into the form that almost makes him only slightly overpaid.
7. Less than 100 days until college football.
8. Once again, less than 100 days until college football.
9. I promised more photos from Facebook from our reception. Got an idea.  I am on a plane right now, am pissed that I somehow get notifications from FB, so why don’t you just go to my account and get your own pics?
10. Hey, Matt, I see you have single digits in Twitter…got an idea…follow me and I will post your stuff…splitting the atom over here.
11. About to have a 500 follower party…because I really only care about three things and how many followers I have on trivia.
12. Weird that Lindsey and I can’t sleep without holding each other, but when I travel I sleep on my stomach every time.
13. Guys, ok to talk about love… and holding your girl.
14. Got problems with that and I you can come over and we can talk about it.
15. Still haven’t heard the new song by JT which I am sad about, and is the new acclaimed Beyonce album really called “lemonade?”
16. Ralph.  Our car rides were so much different.  Ralph working  diligently in the back while Rudy didn’t even yell when I almost hit another car.  Bryan likes the windows down (Ralph would never tolerate that and I love it) and feels the need to play ¾ of songs he likes at full blast to counter the open windows.
17. Anthony can eat or not, and can stop at that place or any other place….food camel.
18. We actually did NO Subway this trip.
19. I didn’t, but I ALMOST danced to The Power just to break up the monotony of the Denver people at the bar during the delay in the airport bar.
20. You would think I would consider it was a blessing to catch the Pens or Warriors game at the airport. A)  I was having fun with deadpan Patak and always moody Zofie and B) I knew the Warriors would win and the Pens would win.
21. I don’t know any Lightning fans in life, but if there are any, the overturned goal was legit in Game 6.
22. Nice to see Sidney Crosby acting LIKE A STAR…exactly like Gretkzy, he just took 6 years off.
23. (sarcastic)
24. Well, just sarcastic about “exactly like Gretzky.”
25. With the injuries the Lightning sustained, it is AMAZING they made it past the first round.
26. And the winner of the last 20 years “best teams to make the playoffs every year and lose before the Cup Final” is…the SHARKS.
27. Been a good two work days, I earned my pay this week, and every time I think about a good day I think of Usual Suspects and “bad day, f#$% it” by the younger Baldwin as the opposite.
28. That would be the theme if Mike Schmidt wasn’t already pre-ordained.
29. I am a master packer.
30. Seriously, whenever I finish packing, I quote the Seinfeld and stand over my luggage like a god.
31. For the last three days, I made jokes, and then Zofie and PYT went into references I didn’t understand…obscure references from movies we have all seen once.
32. They are pop culture GODS and I can’t keep up…at all.
33. Get back to Top Gun, dammit.
34. No prizes, Rudy…stop reading.
35. My biggest fear is going to bed hungry-..that is why I always buy Lunchables at the last gas station before we hit our location (Zofie and PYT realized this over the trip).
36. Needs: Lunchables, milk, banana, Jim.
37. I am incorrect that the above is my biggest fear, as it is having one single wasp in my car with closed windows, and that almost happened on our way back before I prompty closed the windows.
38. I stayed at two places with a pool and didn’t have time for one and the ultra cool one WAS NOT OPEN.
39. Open on Saturday…
40. That is a failure on my part…I have a water tattoo for a reason…I am Aquaman.
41. I was asked at the restaurant to include this in my blog.
42. Control group=Ralph.
43. Sample group=all of us.
44. I had to do serious math to figure out the differential in the Cavs-Raptors game.
45. Did I hear the Raptors went to a casino late the night before???
46. Not awesome in an awesome or “phat” sense, but still AWESOME if true.
47. Welcome back, Kevin Love. No more tripping over refs.
48. Dude is unbelievable when he is healthy.
49. Going to be a shame when he loses this year and gets beat by Minnesota next year in the NBA Finals.
50. Said it…don’t believe it, but will lay a bet on it.
51. We are still delayed. I am writing my “ideas” to expand on the plane (on editing, this was smart).
52. We are not getting out of here tonight. 10pm is now on the schedule.  Sounds pretty late for a West Coast airport to me (on editing, we got out of there-I am on a plane).
53. Russell Westbrook getting angry and getting triple doubles…is pretty cool and effective…I DARE you to pass it three more times.
54. In case you care, Gilroy is the world capital of garlic.
55. We drove through it twice and I agree it meets expectations and firmly believe no vampires live there.
56. Keep your windows OPEN to really enjoy it.
57. We tried to drive down something called Silicon Valley Blvd on the way to the airport, but our dream of yelling out Pied Piper rocks was in the wrong town…dammit.
58. But I TOOK the exit, dammit.
59. WHEN the hell did United sub out pretzels for Asian style snacks?
60. I want simple pretzels.
61. Great stewardess…Five hour delay and Jack and water on her…boom.
62. Bryan and Anthony know more about pop culture, it was overload, and maybe someday we will talk about Top Gun, Whitesnake, and Princess Bride.
63. Long day-I know I already mentioned that-I don’t care.
64. Why PYT?
65. Because we decided that you could do yoga listening to Anthony’s pop culture references and be relaxed and stunned…Patak Yoga Tributes (the “t” was something else but I am tired).
66. (trivia on editing)
67. Wedding shit done. Site will be revamped.  Welcome in four weeks, you sports personalities like Woody Paige, who is under the impression he is smarter than me, will be blown away.
68. I hate Woody Paige and intend to piss on his office or cubicle when I make it big.
69. Zofie saw me get tense three times this week, he doesn’t understand sometimes there is a time to be a Bro and time to be TENSE, we got through it, and PYT talked us down talking about puppies and mom and dad fights.
70. Zofie doesn’t like me very much, but we make it work.
71. Actually, let’s remember, no one really likes me very much aside from my wife and Scott…and Katz.
72. Yes, I wrote it on my list, and are very careful about not setting off fire alarms ironing/ steaming my suits.
73. Lindsey informed me that our cat spilled a win bottle on our new bed and I am very, very glad, as I have preached to the brink that although we are not having kids, sharp objects and bottles of wine should not be left in the cat’s reach.
74. I had “mcdonald’s warren g regulators” on my list, am getting tired, Zofie doesn’t read this thing anyway, so therefore will move on.
75. Mazda 5’s are the foreplay for you having kids and finally acknowledging you need a mini-van-my car rental for the week.
76. I drove three hours from and to San Jose to save the company money-can’t imagine what I would have done if we had to crash in San Jose…
77. New format is being worked on…keep reading itf you think I know my stuff…if not, see you on the flip side.
78. I will get my Warhol moment, for good or bad.
79. Weird that I have been married a month, my ring costs $30 but it is BEAUTIFUL BLUE, and I kind of freak out when it even tries to leave my finger.
80. Love my girl so much and rooting for you to find the same kind of stuff…
81. Why couldn’t Hubie Brown be assigned in the second half to all of these NBA blowouts? Could listen to him all day or night.
82. CA gets cred for the hills and beaches, but I venture to bet I have ridden down almost EVERY boring CA road.
83. All of the Lights is a song that just makes me either want to dance or run through a wall.
84. Bryan thinks his music is the coolest thing ever, and he is 60% right, but don’t ever start a conversation about the other 40%.
85. My colleagues and I talked about the staying quarters and I said I couldn’t lay down in the shower at one place, they asked why I need to do that, and I said just to RELAX AND I LOVE WATER…HENCE THE TATT.
86. I will say that as an ex bartender I treasure pens, and this trip sucked for that.
87. Needs: Lunchables, Milk, banana, Beam.
88. Briscoe back to UK is huge, and love that Lee’s reason to leave UK is because of his family.
89. Strasburg is living up to all of the expectations out of the draft and all of my expectations from about two years ago when I said RELAX.
90. Sager-Jimmy V…cool story.
91. Still waiting for Rex Ryan to jump in on the Bills GM human thing before I do.
92. Not totally caught up on the French Open because of my trip, but assume that Nadal is NOT knocked out of his own tourney…
93. Griz hire Fizdale, which is great after firing a coach who lost all of his players during the year and still made the playoffs in the West.
94. Stanford vs. Washington women’s golf-DID YOU SEE IT?
95. I play book, but I give people hope when I play third base because I know how to correct things on the blackjack table…had two groups of people walk away when I did last night when I cashed out after my 30 minutes.
96. Mike Schmidt was the best third baseman…ever.
97. PYT-Patak Yoga TRIVIA-that is what it was.
98. In case you live in a baseball cave, ICHIRO is hitting .385 at this press time.
99. Can I say one more time how much I hate Woody Paige?
100. He knows old baseball…that is IT.
101. Everyone…please fulfill your life by making a HOLD THE DOOR reference in the next two days, and chastise anyone who doesn’t watch GOT.
102. Remind me to post the “me not singing at the reception pic.”
103. Romo telling us he will play through 2019 sounds like a guy telling us about how long he will play…without the rings.
104. Your first PYT fact, which might become a dropdown in my blog…Gabriel Byrne from Usual Suspects walked out of the initial showing because he actually thought he was filmed as Keyser.
105. Briles just lost a player…weird.
106. Rockets possible new coach D’Antoni-knows he has born to be losers Harden, Josh Smith, Beasley, and Howard, right?
107. You thought YOU had a bad day?
108. Anthony Davis lost $25 million today when not voted on the top three All NBA teams.
109. Once again, the winner of the Caps-Pens series wins it all…still alive.
110. I can’t wait to have down time this weekend and read like 50 NBA mock drafts now that the balls are out.
111. It is now very late-I am tired.
112. Stop telling us you will return, Marshawn Lynch and let’s go get jacked up with Brett Favre.
113. Weird that I just found out about Jose Urias this morning in a Fresno paper and then he was called up by the Dodgers a few hours later.
114. Glam rock is not what Wikipedia ways.  It is what I say.  It was teased the moment that Tesla and REO came on the scene and fortified when Cinderella came ou with Night Songs.
115. I may or may not start a band called Drinks, Plugs, and Sports.
116. If you drive outside of San Jose, know that “Silicon Valley Road” does NOT take you by Oracle so you can yell “pied piper rocks.”
117. Zofie started our airport experience by making us excited about someone texting him from CSU and being a mistaken identity, the last update we had was “bruises, strippers, river, and Dusty,” but maybe he will tell me more tomorrow.
118. Why do I thinking ONE of these tribal casinos I sell to will be in a metro area?
119. Zofie.  Text me “#4” by 6am tomorrow and get a Torchy’s #4.
120. A Rhianna (not sure if that is spelled right) says something deep but true…life’s too short to just be sitting around.”
121. Someone may or may not at the airport have talked about it being cool to dose someone and feel good about yourself.   Zorro.  Zebra.
122. PYT went into a monologue that was amazing about how all the cuss words came about…he is mesmorizing.
123. He told me he DID read this blog, but now that he is my SE, he can’t because otherwise he will have the “observer effect.”
124. I get it. Someday Ralph will read this and I will be whole.
125. Cavs suck. Browns suck.  Indians suck.
126. Ben, I KNOW you read this…not calling out you.
127. PYT also informed me he was born 5 months before Still of the Night came out.
128. THAT is depressing.
129. Remember one thing before I sign off…you might think this blog sucks, but try writing something where you know 1 or 500 people could read it, and then post it…it is tough.
130. That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
