    Boston's bullpen is absolute trash.

    Thank you Mel. The doctors found a mouse in his bladder. It's the very reason for septic blood, and a constant flow of bloodt urine.
    We will not go for a day or two the results of that biopsy. This doctors will not say for sure until the biopsies complete, but they are somewhat expecting a cancerous tumor.

    Is Alzheimer's / dementia is in an advanced stage. That alone causes the most intense of caretaking...

    I appreciate everybody's thoughts and well-wishes. This reminds me too much of the 1981 World Series. When I drove my motorcycle from Southern Cal to Western Kansas and braved the snow 700 miles returning and pouring rains 800 miles returning.
    I rode that motorcycle to spend the last dying days with my cancer ridden grandfather. Just to watch one last World Series with him especially a classic Yankees series.
    My father looks just like my grandfather, his father; back then. Skin and bones unable to walk and death knocking on his back door.

    Dad told me before yesterday's Bums/ Brewers game, "that red-headed Wildman is going to hit one up into the rafters", meaning Justin Turner. And hours later he did.

    Game Recap- video.

    Only thing almost as good as a Yankees win is a Bosox Loss, especially at Home....

    It's not often we see more Walks, let alone twice as many walks as Hits: (10-Base On Balls, vs 5 Hits and & Runs by Houston)

    Bosox 3 Hits, 2 Runs, 4 Base On Balls...
    all 4 BB's were by Verlander.
    I'm kinda surprised Verlander doesn't stick with his Wind-Up vs the Stretch with Runners on Base. Sure Boston would run wild on the bases, but Verlander seemed to of lost control working out of the stretch.

    Billy Ripken preaches how Nunez should of played 3rd, something Ripken seems lost at doing, teaching fundamentals...

    Nunez looked sloppy, the very same style of indecisive play that ended his career in t/Bronx....
