Then the Crew get's beat by former nemesis Greg Suppan who killed the Brewers when he pitched for the Cards, then killed the Brewers when he pitched for the Brewers and now he comes back after spending last year in Triple A (isn't he like 60 years old?) and shuts down the Brewers.
Then Braun, who a day before had three home runs and a triple has a achilles tendon problem which I suspect will have him out for a week.
WOW!!
Speaking of Gamel. Let's not get too excited about him going down. If you look at his production this year he was below what ANY replacement player could do! His BWARP (Wins Above a Replacement Player, which includes hitting AND fielding) was -0.3 (Braun is at +0.7).
BTW - Fielder is at 0.0 at the moment and Pujols is at -0.5
BTW(2) - get Morgan out of CF and install Gomez full time in Center.
Then the Packers have to deal with Hargrove whi they signed as a Free Agent now being suspended for 8 games for something he did a few years ago with the Saints!!
And what about Junior Seau who committed suicide yesterday. Here is the weird thing with that! He was on the 1994 Superbowl Chargers. Eight members of that team have died. Mims (enlarged heart), Griggs (auto accident), Culver (ValueJet flight crash on Everglades), Bush (cardiac arrest), Whitley (overdose drug problem), Lee (cardiac arrest), Miller (struck by lightning), Seau (suicide).
Is that weird or what!

Something weird in Fort Atkinson. My mom speaks of her neo-con friends who continually spout racial insults about Obama. Well, the far far right local newspaper, the Daily Jefferson County Union is actually supporting Compas as opposed the Fitzgerald for Senate.
OH - and looking at their website I see Fort is having a 'Trot for Pot' event. hmmmmmm (construction of a rest room I guess).

A couple people asked about a flower in my rock wall. It's a Purple Robe Saxifraga (Saxifraga x arendsii). Seems to like to climb down but not up! The plan is to have a vein of them running down one of the cracks between boulders! They typically bloom for about 3 weeks in early spring.

Those are Red Chokeberries on the right which are one of my favorite plants and below them are Sweet Woodriff. Those two combined make an amazing aroma!! And Blake who got all excited when he saw me and I had to walk him off the cliff!

I've been working on a poster trying to get all the tiny little things they want to work together.

Some pretty big rains last night. Columbus received 0.03 inches all the storms formed up just north of Columbus and many places received 3+ inches of rain.
OK - back to work you go!
Have a good Thursday!
