Another Win

The Mustangs are on fire and they now own a 5 game winning streak. They beat Garden Homes 4-0 and Coco played a great game again as midfielder.

The Cubs had a tie last night. Rain was just too much. I don't remember them ever having a tie before but apparently in the 90's they did.

Rain on and off all day today. A bad accident closed down a major road which I needed to travel down to get my Dad and Dee. We barely made it to the game this afternoon.

Tonight is just some cards and chili while lounging at home. Coco has a big soccer tournament tomorrow.

Next friday starts the baseball playoffs. They can't get here soon enough!

Coach Knight's Nightmare

Fool us once Gary Johnson but not twice. Johnson totally disqualified himself for the Presidency yesterday by not being able to mention a single foreign leader. My 12 year old son knows a handful. That Spicolli bit has become well worn Gary and lack of intelligence isn't funny.

Coco has another soccer game today. Fall is here so he shouldn't get over-heated.

Tropical storm Matthew is brewing up into a possible hurricane. So far it's unknown how big it can get or where exactly it will heading.

The GOP leaders are now having reservations about overriding the President's veto believing that the bill was written with some holes and perhaps the President was correct. Speaker Ryan says it may have to be fixed. Yes, the day after you do something is always a good time to fix it. I've lost total confidence in Ryan who will just do anything to make a President look bad.

I don't understand Bobby Knight neither. Coach Knight was a master at preparation and discipline. Yet he travels all around the country propping up a stiff who neither prepares for anything or has any discipline. Shame on you coach. I used to respect you and what you stood for. I'll never mention your philosophy ever again when talking sports with my son because it's obvious that you never bought into your own words!

Nothing But Soccer

It's going to be a busy soccer week. Coco had a game last night. It was a B game but they were short on players so he played most of the game and had two assists as a midfielder. He has another B game Thursday night and then an A game Friday and a tournament on Saturday with two games it looks like.

The Cubs signed Theo Epstein to a 5 year extension. For how he has turned around the Cubs they should have gave him a piece of the team. When they win the World Series the man could be King!

Speaking of guys who want to be King, Trump is at a rally in Waukesha tonight. At least all the loons will be under one roof.

The second episode of Designated Survivor is on tonight and it's very intriguing with great writing. It stars Kiefer Sutherland and it has the feel of 24 and each episode is continuous upon the previous episode. Coco likes it a lot and it's probably the first real show we've ever watched together. Unless you want to count Sponge Bob as a real show!

Back To School

Today was the first day of dog training classes for Mango. It was adults only without the dog for the first one. Looks like it will be beneficial. It can't hurt anyway and I'm sure we will pick up some good things.

The Cubs look like they will win another one tonight. Joe Maddon is playing all the reserves heavy innings and resting the starters.

Rainy and 57 degrees today. Fall is here but let's not get to winter too fast please!

Plenty of talk about the debate today. Most people had Clinton winning and Trump just plain silly for fat shaming Miss Universe and doubling down on it this morning. He really seems to hate fat people more than anything and this lady was hispanic also so she gets the Trump double whammy. All 160 pounds of her which I didn't know was fat but Trump's world is a bit different than mine and I'm very thankful for that!

Trump Choked

I told a guy today that there was no way that Trump could lose this debate. The bar was set so low for him and he just had to be decent and he would win overwhelming and the guy agreed with me one hundred percent. So much for the prediction business. Trump looked like a complete amateur and totally lacking of knowledge on a couple topics. He was more vague than usual and judging by the look on his face he drank a couple gallons of lemonade just before he went on stage with that sour puss facial expression. All the polls show Clinton winning the debate in a landslide. The pressure obviously got to him!

The Cubs won their 100th game with 6 left to play. I predicted 104 wins and it's still very possible!

Coco had his soccer tournament on saturday cancelled and they are trying to put a new one together. Instead of pouting and having a fit or saying something stupid he just decided to practice on his own. That's called preparation. Looks like ole Donny could learn something from my 12 year old son instead of acting like one himself!

Goodbye Arnie Palmer

Arnold Palmer passed away today at the age of 87. Everybody liked Arnie. He's one of the few people that I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about. That's because he always carried himself with dignity and class and stayed above the fray. He was a legend who will be missed!

The Bears lost to the Cowboys but the offensive looked better. The defensive actually looked worse but they had a lot of injuries. Now it's nothing but young guys playing and that's fine by me. Let's see who can play. The Cubs went this route and they now have the best record in baseball!

Nile has a new shoe that has a memory chip and battery and ties your shoes for you. I love Nike. But I'll stick with the old fashioned shoes guys!

A big saturday night party at our friend Ronnie's house in the burbs. A wonderful time and a beautiful property. I'll be posting a picture of his closet tomorrow. It's that spectacular!

Air Show Returns

The air show will be returning to Milwaukee next year on July 15-17. The last time it returned it was totally fogged in and it didn't go off. We used to have one every year and I miss seeing it every summer.

The Mustangs won their 4th consecutive game today 3-0. Coco played great and their record is now 4-2. Mango came to the game with me and she behaved very well.

Donald Rumsfield blasted George H.W Bush today as he intends to vote for Clinton. He reiterated something to the extent that he's getting up there in years. What an insult to a very very good man. Rumsfield should like in the mirror and think why he's the poster child of bad judgment. The WMD turn up yet pal???
