We know the current Houston tale of woe. I feel like some permutation of Deshaun Watson s trade demands, J.J. Watt s departure, James Harden s successful trade demand, George Springer s departure, and the respective existences David Culley, Jack Easterby, Cal McNair have been the lead for 90 percent of my posts since the calendar flipped to 2021.
So with the anniversary of the Day the Sports World Shut Down in our rear view, and with vaccines pumping away, with restaurants and bars reopening, it s high time we look on the bright of things in sports (until tomorrow.. the anniversary of the DeAndre Hopkins Trade, everybody!) With that positive spirit in mind, I have come to the conclusion that we are not enjoying the fact that Zack Greinke is a Houston Astro nearly enough!

The tale of one British anaesthetist So, a lovely gasdoc ( an anaesthetist) was working a lot with Covid-19 patients and has young children who don t understand social distancing. His infection control strategy was to build an outdoor shower. He lives in rural location. Home, clothes off, outdoor shower, THEN hug the kids. He purchased a shower cubicle of completely clear glass. Worked perfectly. He d head home and decontaminate every evening. No one overlooked his garden. All good. One day his children went to play in the garden and sadly found a dead cat. They told their mum, who posted on a local social media group and the cat s owners were found. They wanted to collect their cat and lay him to rest in their own garden. Dr Gasdoc got home that evening after a busy, sweaty shift. He was unaware of the cat incident. He stripped and jumped into his outdoor shower and got to work soaping the bits that men need
take off the human element of it. you know, if the umpires agree and they vote on it and they want less pressure, that s a different thing. if a pitcher is trying to get a strike on the outside corner and all the sudden he has you are rewarding the pitcher on a bad pitch. i think that s going to be very difficult. but, you know, if the umpires vote for it, so be it. then you lose out on the great catchers who call the game like a jason vary tech. he would block the umpire so they couldn t see the pitch on the outside corner or slightly off. so it s something that i really think the major league umpires will have to vote and if there is a unanimous decision, then i think you do it. those guys work very hard and they are not missing too much pitches.
