Ok I love my wife more than anything but I swear sometimes being married to that woman makes my blood pressure skyrocket. She knew I wanted to just relax and watch the game on the crappy ESPN app. Last night I asked her MULTIPLE times if we had anything planned for today. She assured me we didn’t.

A trip to the Johnson City mall, TJ Maxx, Target and Home Depot and I am fuming. But it gets worse. She wants me to help plant flowers and do this and that. I am finally done and can enjoy myself. Anyone else’s wife like this??

Not sure who posted about Appalachia being tied back to Pangeae times - being broken off away from Scottland and Ireland. Bound to them in eternity by hatred for English, the Mts are our reminder.

Just reminded myself as is forgotten to share. if you're into folk or celtic music. Tim O Brien is a name you need to know.

My absolute fave, and a surgeon on every instrument he plays. Here's Bazouki. Fiddler's Green went on win Grammy.

Some really great pitching performances in games yesterday.

The UCONN starter pitched into the 9th.
West Virginia starter threw great for 8 innings and if you like pitching the UCSB vs Oregon was the game to watch.

1 North Carolina
1 Virginia
1 Clemson
1 Oregon State
3 Kansas State (upset Arkansas last night)
4 Evansville (Cinderella team thus far)
1 Vols
1 Kentucky

Sounds like a you problem instead of a her problem. Why do you have to escort your wife to go shopping?

June 2, 2010

It’s one of the most infamous mistakes in sports history.​




In a Major League Baseball game played on June 2, 2010 at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan, Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga nearly became the 21st pitcher in Major League history to throw a perfect game.

Galarraga instead finished with a one-hit shutout in a 3–0 victory. He faced 28 batters and threw 88 pitches (67 strikes and 21 balls), striking out three. The game is sometimes referred to as the "28-out perfect game", the "Almost Perfect" game, the "Extra Perfect Game", the "Imperfect Game" or simply the "Galarraga game."

The perfect game was ruined one out short when first-base umpire incorrectly ruled that Indians batter Jason Donald reached first base safely on a ground ball.

The umpire and the batter both admitted the call was wrong, but Major League Baseball’s commissioner refused to overturn the umpire’s decision and award Galarraga the 21st perfect game in the sport’s 134-year history. Support to overturn came from the White House, the governor of Michigan and all corners of the media.

Kinda cool and wet in Knoxville today. Probably 74 and off & on drizzle. No wind. Weather probably won't effect much, aside from helping incubate some athlete's foot.
