A Tauren's Tale

So I have been meaning to post this for a little while now…so Andy has one of these chairs and I love em so I went and bought 2.

Well the first post. The dog, that would be Skeeter. Amy got him from a rescue in Coatsville, PA. He is young like 8 months so it is like training Alexa all over again. I just don’t know if I was ready to go through the hassle of trying to house break a dog and teach a dog sit, come, no, off, down, and most of all go potty, but that would be the stage that we are back at. I don’t say this to discredit him at all cause he is a very sweet dog. Always gives kisses and keeps Alexa busy chasing each other around which is nice all the less that I have to do to get Alexa some exercise, which is something that both Amy and I have been terrible about. But as we found out it is terribly hard to try to walk two dogs at the same time in the pouring rain. But we managed. One thing that is buggin me about him is he doesn’t walk up steps and didn’t want to walk down them either. At least that is something that we won’t have to teach him it is something that Alexa will have to help him out with. Eventually Alexa will be at the top and he won’t be and just like Alexa learned with Misty he will figure out how to go up the steps. He has been slow but ok with going down them though. The only really really bad habit that Skeeter will need to get broken of is well I suppose there are two. 1, eating…he needs to do it and 2, he needs to not snap at Alexa when he has a tow or is eating. He is fine with Amy or I but Alexa gets a snarl. So I guess that is pretty much a birds eye view of Skeeter the newest addition to the house.

So now onto the two videos. One is Lou Piniella getting thrown out for the first time as a Cubby’s Manager. All and all uneventful except a lot of dirt gets kicked along with a hat being thrown and followed up by kick or two. The Second is the Mississippi Braves manager getting thrown out of a game. This one had me rolling on the floor…don’t forget to cover homeplate to protect it from the rosin grenade. Though this are funny it is kind of sad in the same aspect. On ESPN they had a thing that said that Lou Piniella, Bobby Cox, Earl Weaver are all way up there in numbers then comes Ozzie with like 15 to their 100+ each. That is pretty ridiculous honestly, do managers really need to take it that far? It isn’t like arguing a call is going to change anything the play still stands and as a fellow co-worker who once dreamed to be a ump…”there are no make-up calls in baseball”. But yes I understand that there really are make up calls that all comes from human nature, it has nothing to do with the play or the rules it is just human nature…but when you get thrown out of the game doesn’t that defeat the purpose…here I go with the pyschobablebullshit you may get the make-up call if you are right or even if you make the ump feel you are right…but as with any argument once it gets too heated or gets too extreme it turns into the other person just saying man that guy is an ass to hell with him…i will make him pay for being such an ass and then you don’t get anything later in the game for your antics. It is all about psychology.
