Well….as you can see, these are a little fillery but I have to do something to ensure I meet my goals for the month…I wish I was getting paid for this so I could blame it on my boss forcing me to do it but that’s just not true….I wish it was….there was a race on today that was a bore until the last 20 laps or so…and that’s out of 200 so it really did live up to my name of “Napcar” instead of Nascar and I did get a nap in even though I didn’t need it…a bad bit of news came from the weird Wings game last night where one of the Stars punched Hank in the head and now he is out for a while…I hope that idiot gets a suspension and a big fine…no place for that crap unless both guys are going in a fight….I won’t talk about Man U any more since they are losing to everyone and won’t make the Champions League again next year….not sure what their problem is but changing the coach didn’t help….anything else? Nope, not for now….

A little sports…
Well…as promised, going to do a little commenting on sports that have happened recently…or maybe not recently but I have something to say about it that I just haven’t gotten to…first…we had a Man U victory yesterday over Liverpool but they looked pretty bad doing it…the final score was 3-0 but without the goaltending of DeGea, it could have easily been a loss of 5-3…I can’t understand why it is so hard for them to defend and why they continue to get caught out on breakaways…a win is a win, though, and it gets them closer to champions league next year…second, the Lions are 10-4? They too played like crap yesterday and the defense had to bail them out time and again…again, I can’t understand how they can gain 500 plus yards one week and then can’t do anything the next….oh, one last thing…they should let Suh go to anywhere else next year…he doesn’t want to be in Detroit and I think his best playing is behind him anyway….okay, third….I am confused about the trades that have been going on with the Tigers lately…last year, they gave up Doug Fister for basically nothing, and this year they give up Rick Porcello for some old journeyman center fielder….and Fister has his best season of his career and Porcello is looking to be developing into a great starter and he is only 25…they had a good 7 or 8 years left in him and they just gave him away…oh, well….still have the Wings….but they are on a losing streak that needs to end soon….more later…
Let’s go Red Wings…
Well…with the season starting for the Wings tonight, I thought I’d do one on the hopes and dreams that come from a new season…..okay, no hopes and dreams at all, not sure why I wrote that….just want a better season than last year…no injuries that keep the stars out for half the year and no crappy goaltending. But, the thing is, if we play well, there is no need to lean on the goaltender every night. I am disappointed with the play of some of the guys who got the big contracts last year…I’m talking to you Frantzen…one of the most frustrating players we have when there are games that he can’t be stopped and then the next one you can’t remember him even being on the ice…and that can’t be attributed to the other teams learning how to play him..he has been in the league long enough that everyone has seen him…he just needs to adjust to them and get the job done. We do need the injury bug to stay away this year…but, it looks like it is still here with Pavel getting injured in the pre-season, and it looks like he will be out until next week at the earliest….and I have my fingers crossed that Hank’s back is finally 100% after the injury and surgery last year…he says it is and since he is the captain…we’ll take his word for it. I am excited to see the youngsters play again this year and see if the way they played last year was a fluke or not…it is cool to see how fast they are and how enthusiastically they play…that in itself makes them fun to watch. That’s it…only one thing left to say…Let’s go Red Wings….
Just some thoughts…
Well…running out of time for the month so there may just be a filler or two before wed…still feeling pretty crappy today and had some stuff to do but I didn’t do it…I did make a little cash today so I can buy groceries at least and that takes a little load off…I am a little excited that the Wings are going to be on tv tonight…it will be the first time to see them this year and hearing Ken and Mickey after listening to all the other announcers in all the other sports will be a good thing….but with Pavel and Nyquist out it will be an odd night…might be fun to see some of the youngsters that will be going down to GR and have some new names to follow….okay…that’s enough for this one…one more for today and I’ll be back on track…
A sports day…
Well…with this being a Sunday, it’s nice that it is a sports day, too…have already watched Man U lose and look bad doing it…and now the Tigers are on until the F1 race starts in a while, then the Wings are on at 3…might have to have a shot and a beer with that one but I don’t like to drink during the day so maybe that will be out…I am looking forward to the game and already have the gear on for it…but, there is no way we’re going out of Boston with a 2-0 lead….the split will be okay…just can’t get blasted out of the arena 6 to nothing…might be bad for the youngsters…but, then again they just let it roll of their backs like only youngsters can…and, if we can take this out to 7 games, Hank may even be back but if we’re playing well, who do we sit? Not going to be an easy choice that’s for sure…My only problem is what am I going to do after the game? Maybe take a drive with the top down….who knows?
Running out of ideas…
Well…I have been sitting here thinking, trying to figure out what to write about but have had no luck today…politicians haven’t done anything stupid so that’s out…I could talk about the Wings and probably should with how well they played last night…the Bruins are supposed to be just too big a skilled for the Wings but we played with them all night…and Pavel’s goal was something I’ve never seen before…pretty cool…it’s probably out there on the internet somewhere and you should go watch it…the ride today was not anywhere near as interesting as yesterday’s but it was still nice to get out…I do look forward to a day with no wind and a little warmer, though, going all the way out to the east in a 15 mph wind was tiring…it looks like there won’t be a lot of action around here the rest of the day…just can’t get motivated so I guess I’ll just veg and think some more….
Oh, the computer seems to be working well again and I can’t figure it out…
Some sports?
Well…it has been a semi productive day today but if I add in all of the sports I have been trying to see, it gets much more so….just finished up watching Man U win one and take the three points and now am watching the Wings play a kind of lethargic game but they are still tied so I guess that is okay…and, after I finish this one, going to go back to basketball as my flashback channel…oh, and there is a race on in an hour and a half with Michigan starting about the same time…and State later…geez…my head is spinning with all of the work just trying to keep them all straight….so, I’m going to go back to the couch and just potato for a while…probably a long while but I do need to do 2 more of these today or maybe tomorrow?
Need to meander a little…
Well…I was trying to come up with a political topic for the day and have had no luck so I’m just going to meander a while and see what happens…so, this one will be filed in misc…I am exhausted today and I can’t figure out why….possibly because I was up all night or I haven’t eaten enough…take your pick….how about some sports? Manchester United looked so bad yesterday that, even with now getting the channel that they are on, I don’t think I’ll be watching anymore this season…they just look so bad….one bright spot…not with Man U….is that the Wings looked okay last night but should have taken the game in regulation but gave up the tying goal in the last 30 seconds…but, they did finally win one in OT so it will be interesting to see how they do tonight….another good thing is that, if they don’t remember to shut off NBCSN, I will get formula 1 this spring…and that will be a good thing….what else? I think I’m going to fracture if I have to go out in any more of this crap cold weather…it’s gotten to a high of 7 today and is going to get to 7 below tonight…and it is almost frickin March…supposed to be near 50 by now and melting my trails so I can get back on the bike….damn winter….
Not much politics right now..
Well…have been working all day trying to find something to write about in politics, but I think I’ve covered most of the interesting ones this week…so, let’s talk about something else…how about some sports? Okay, let’s do that…I feel bad for the Wings with them losing Hank for the rest of the season with back surgery…but, he needed to get it done with the chunk of disc that broke off and stuck in the nerve…so now the youngsters have to really step up…might be interesting to watch…after the debacle of the US mens hockey team this morning, I can’t wait for the Wings to get back to playing…I will be rooting for the Swedes tomorrow morning to take the gold….boy, the new racing season has started out quite boring…the twin 150′s and the truck race were basically follow the leader all race…and the Nationwide race is just the same…might be a good time to take a nap…Man U did win this aft so that was cool…maybe I’ll just head back to the couch and watch the rest of the race…more later…not really…
Let’s Go Red Wings!
Well…it has been an exciting first series for the Wings and today, we are looking at a game 7 with the Ducks and I am starting to get excited even though the game is still 6 1/2 hours away…yeah, those damn 10 o’clock starts are killing me and screwing up my cocktail nights…it has been a pretty good series so far but we could have ended it earlier if it wasn’t for some stupid mistakes but exciting anyway…and Hank hs been the best player for the Wings and has carried the team for the past couple of weeks…I just hope he has one more in him for tonight…or that someone else steps up and gives him a hand….they have been playing better and better as the series has gone on so I guess I can hold my breath for one more…even going to skip “Mad Men” to watch it..and no, I don’t have one of those fancy dvr’s that would be of great use right now…one thing left to say: Let’s Go Red Wings!!
