JSS: Nasty Weather-- Baseball's Over-- "Moneyball"-- Good Times

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. NASTY WEATHER-- there's been no yardwork and little boating the last week, because of a particularly nasty piece if weather that seems stuck right over us. It's either raining or threatening to rain, plus cool, very cool.

Now, we have high winds coming in and a drop in temperature.


2. BASEBALL'S OVER-- Well, for the Sox and Cubs. There weren't any real races for first place in any division, but the wildcard races were exciting. I will be watching some of the playoffs as I like some of the teams that made it (I won't say who for fear of a whammy).

Maybe Mr. A. Dunn will earn his millions next year. He sure was worthless this year.

It appears Ozzie's going to the Marlins was purely for da money. He just couldn't live on a "paltry" $2 million. Good riddance.


3. "MONEYBALL"-- And speaking of baseball and "Moneybags Guillen," I saw an excellent baseball movie yesterday, "Moneyball." Proving that the Adam Dunn and Ozzie Guillen bucks don't always buy success. As with the 2002 Oakland As. And the General Manager turned down $12.5 million to go to the Red Sox.

A great movie.


4. GOOD TIMES-- With all this bad weather, I've seen three movies: Killer Elite, Straw Dogs and Moneyball since Monday. Monday we went to Donovan's Reef for $1.50 pints, NTN and $3.50 cheeseburgers and fries, Tuesday to Fire Wood for $1 pints and 50 cent tacos and then to After the Fox where we were entertained by Jim Seig. Yesterday, it was to Tommy's for buck bottles and a large, one-topping pizza for $10.
