Yep. Pittsburgh. Gotta Hand It To’em… …Thus Far. 😉

The On Deck Circle

When I glanced at the N.L. standings this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Pittsburgh Pirates sat atop the N.L. Central division.  With the Orioles and the Mets also making legitimate runs towards a spot in the playoffs, this has truly been a surprising year in Major League baseball.

Then it occurred to me that I knew next to nothing about the actual players on this season’s Pirate roster.  Here are some things I learned today, which I decided to share with you.

1)  Third baseman Pedro Alvarez has 15 home runs and 48 RBI to go along with an OPS+ of 118.  Despite having been written off as a failed prospect by many after last seasons dismal first trip to Pittsburgh, Alvarez has a chance to become the first Pirate since Jason Bay in 2006 to top 30 home runs and 100 RBI in a season.

My Morning Mixes: The Short’ish List

Today, It’s A Short’ish List For One Very Simple Reason…

…

…

…ANTIBIOTICS.

.Period.

These Things Have My Stomach Screwed-Up Six-Ways-From-Sunday.

.Period Period.

Granted…

…I Did Only Get Around 3(almost)Hours Of Sleep…

…Which Is Affecting Me, Also.

But The Biggest Reason For A Short’ish List Is The Damned Antibiotics.

Instead Of Going On A Long’ish Walk…

…I Stayed Closer To The House And Just Did Laps Of The Block.

I Didn’t Wanna Be Too Far From My Own Cat-Box, Ya Know?!?

(wink wink nudge nudge)

Yep.

Exactly.

I Thought It Was A Smart Plan, Too.

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On…

…The Morning Walk Began Solidly With…

“LIFE DURING WARTIME“

by TALKING HEADS

…Followed-Up Quickly With A Double-Shot Of…

WESTSIDE CONNECTION

…Hitting Both…

“BOW DOWN“

…And…

“GANGSTA NATION“

!!! !!! !!!

Up Next Was…

“WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO (THUNDERDOME)”

by TINA TURNER

…And Then…

ERIC CLAPTON

…With…

“AFTER MIDNIGHT“

!!! !!! !!!

By This Point…

…I’m Already Questioning My Sanity For Being Out-&-About On A Walk With A Gurgling-Stomach.

I Go Ahead And Fire-Up…

“NEW DRESS“

by DEPECHE MODE

…All-The-While I’m Thinking About Heading Home.

Finally…

…My Stomach Wins The Minor Argument.

I Go Ahead And Kick-On…

DEPECHE MODE‘s

“GET RIGHT WITH ME (LIVE)”

…And I Cut My Wheels Back Homeward.

… … … … … … …

… … …

TRUST ME, My Peeps…

…I Made The Correct Decision.

TRUST ME TRUST ME, Even.

I Did Warn You It Was A Short’ish List.

Please Don’t Feel Jipped, Kiddies.

The Jams Weren’t Big On Quantity This Morning…

…Though I’m Sure We Can Agree On Quality.

Right???

RIGHT!!!

😀

Have A Decent Day, My Peeps.

I Shall Holla More When I Have More To Holla ’bout!

😉

L8r L8r!!!

“Ob-La-Di… Ob-La-Da… Life Goes On, Bra… La La How That Life Goes On…” –THE BEATLES

“OB-LA-DI OB-LA-DA” Is A Personal Favorite (and, currently, personally fitting) Track Off THE BEATLES‘ 1968 Album “THE BEATLES” (aka “THE WHITE ALBUM“)

This Could Become A Very Long Night.

Don’t You Just Hate It When Someone You Don’t Know “Drunk-Dials” Your Phone After Midnight?

Yeah.

Ditto.

Especially When I Was Already Asleep.

I’m One Of Those…

"Once I'm Awake, I'm Awake"

…Types Of People.

Granted, I Did Fall Asleep Tonight Faster Than I Normally Do.

But Who Cares?

I Was Sleeping SOUNDLY.

Then The Random Phone-Call Wakes Me…

…I Spend 20-Minutes Agonizing Over WHOM This Person Might Be…

…And THEN I Shoot The Number A Text.

I Figure…

"If This Person Knows Me, I Should Get A Text In Return Verifying That Fact."

And That Was The Pisser, My Peeps.

It Was Some Random Chick.

She Didn’t Know Me.

She’d Never Met Me.

She Just Screwed-Up Her Dialing While Having A Couple Drinks.

It Happens.

I’ve Done It In My Personal History.

Most Folks Have.

But That Doesn’t Make Me Like It Any More So.

Sadly…

…I Am Now AWAKE.

I’m Staring At This Computer Monitor…

…Knowing Good And Hell Well It’s Only Going To Make The Headache Worse…

…And Make Sleeping Just That Much More Difficult.

I’m Thinking I’m Hungry, But Hate I Eating This Late/Early In The Day.

It’s Too Late To Go Walking…

…So The Stuff Would Just Sit There In My Stomach…

…All The While Slowly Dissolving There And Becoming Part Of My Ass.

Sheesh.

OH…

…AAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDD…

…I Learned (once again) I Shouldn’t TRY To Be Funny.

Every Single Time I TRY To Be Funny, I And/Or The Jokes Always Seem To Be A Bit Off.

I Suck At Telling Jokes.

Funny Things Happen TO Me I Can Then Bring-Up To Others…

…But I Shouldn’t TRY To Be Funny.

I Should Just Be Dry’ish…

…Boring’ish…

…Odd’ish…

…Bradley.

.PERIOD.

I Guess This Post Is Really Just About Simple BS That Has Irritated And/Or Enlightened Me.

It’s Something To Read, Anyway.

I Guess That’s Good Enough When One Is This Tired.

I’m Going To Give Sleep Another Go-’round, Now.

Wish Me Luck.

Well…

…Wait…

…Since I Only Know Bad-Luck…

…Perhaps You Should Wish For Success More So Than Luck.

Yes.

Wish Me Success.

That’d Be Awesome…

…Which Is Also Awesome.

Just Don’t Gamble On Awesome Success.

That’s A Fools Bet.

Awesome Success Would Be Awesome Awesome…

…But The Odds Ain’t In My Favor.

😉
