White Sox are cleaning house. Fired the top two executives last August, then the Grigio firing earlier today. They also just fired the bench coach, third base coach and assistant hitting coach. Grady Sizemore has been named interim manager.

That will make them a better team for sure now. 😂
I bet 1000 VN bucks the moral on the team gets a boost after that.

AA better have a plan for this damn rotation for next year and beyond. If Strider, Fried, Sale, and Lopez all come back healthy (big IF) then that would be a great foursome. All of those pitchers have injury history though so it scares the ever living hell out of me. My hope is that he makes a deal for Crochet in the offseason because these dudes in the minors they have tried out just ain’t cutting it.

So, I've made it a habit to e-mail Tony V one time each summer to congratulate him on and thank him for all the success. He has replied to me each time with a personalized note, including this time getting back to me in less than an hour. And I'm definitely no insider or VIP! This time, I made sure to email him on the same day I did last year, August 8th!

By August 9 of next year, you’ll be comfortable enough asking for things like in game, Dugout passes, for all of us.

I'll put it on the list CW. He has often said to let him know if there is anything they can do for us. I can think of many such things but am trying to show restraint!

Lawd, there’s a couple of new parking nazis, with something to prove, downtown.
I had to teach one a valuable lesson today. He watched me take the ticket off my window, wad it up, toss it in the can, start the beer van and drive off!😂
He was pretty pi$$ed.

Lesson #1 You don’t ticket the beer guys, ya noob!!

About to head to Neyland, for the Vol network brands, kickoff.
Good food and a “motivational sales speech”
Last year it was bumblin’ Bob...let’s just say all he motivated me to do, was listen to old broadcasts of John Ward!
Bertelkamp was ok though.
I’ll keep you guys updated if it’s anyone of note or if I get some juicy inside about anything Tennessee Athletics.

Braves have a West Coast trip starting tomorrow. They always do well during those trips.

Only good thing is they are playing the Rockies, Giants, and Angels. They will find a way to go 4-6 or 5-5 over those 10 games. If it were better teams I wouldn’t predict anything better than 2-8. The bad news is immediately following that road trip we play 10 of the next 13 against current playoff teams and 7 of those game are against the Phillies. Could be looking at being 12+ games back of the division and 5 games back of the wildcard whenever September gets here.

BOOM … Just left Best Buy after getting a new Samsung 55 inch Ultra High Definition 4K tv so I can watch our Vols play football this year.

and here I am stuck watching on my 27" Mac placed atop my cherry desk in a library full of books and the smell of rich mahogany in the air. 😂 Now I feel cheated.

Seriously, you are gonna love it!

Lyles says he tested positive for Covid before getting bronze in the 200m. All I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses. Also, why was he allowed to participate in the first place???
