What kind of Labor Day doesn't have #Royals baseball?

Too cool! I moved to Springfield in Feb 1985 so I didn't get those papers for posterity.

One was morning. The other was afternoon. I have one that says Nixon Resigns and the afternoon one with the headline Ford Sworn In.

That makes me chuckle because I'd probably say the same thing especially if I was me pacing with a #RallyBeer in hand during a rally.

But what does she think of 85 inches of Royals baseball?
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
This is huge. It also hasn't moved in over an hour. Must have started its holiday weekend early.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Happy #TTT and 3 Day Weekend Eve! Stay hot out there!
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
I remembered to submit my drive thru order to Greenlight this afternoon to beat the holiday rush tomorrow. It will take as long to do the drive up window part as it will be to drive there and back.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
This seems reasonable for holiday weekend eve.

We have the Lead of Unusual Size now #FountainsUp
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
I think it'll help batters AND pitchers because they won't be second guessing the strike zone size and location anymore.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
I've wondered about the effect of ABS on batters and coaching once the calls are always the same.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
If you lived in Springfield, you could do Costco AND Menards in the same trip because they're at the same intersection.

Tequila could get me in trouble.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Both whiskey and wine and beer are water based.

Sorry dude. That's an age thing. Not a season thing.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
I don't disagree that Rave needs time in Omaha. Massey to KC feels like a lateral move.

My Dad's birthday was Friday marking 6 birthdays. He passed 6 years ago last Wednesday. He always called to sing off-key and loud. Wednesday will be her first birthday not here. She passed Sept 13 of last year.

The Kansas City A's did not play on the day I was born but their record was 0-2. They lost to the Indians the day before. Don Ferrarese was the winning pitcher. Dick Brodowski got the save. Ned Garver was the losing pitcher.

My wife and I make so many jokes about butthole waxing and this will be one of the next ones when I show her your post LOL

8-4 Yankees. Still top of the ninth.

Appears to be an early mating season.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
Is that the mating call of the October Choking Cardinal? But it's only August 🤷♂️
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
I can't believe I'm gonna do this but, because I'm in Springfield, I can turn on the Cards game. And cheer for them if I don't choke myself trying to.

#HEYHEYHEYHEY Series sweep! Next let's put the Rangers away!

Frazier!!
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
I'm feeling more comfortable about Estevez in the 9th.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
Maikey! He'll hit anything!
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
Q tip: Don't bring Estevez in to pitch the 9th if we aren't winning.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Based on my experience with #RallyBeer and the possibility of extra innings... Pace yourself 😂

That's also how I usually handle returning from my fave dive bar.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
The Royals are still playing.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
I prefer to watch and cuss and drink rally beers.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Wait. Y'all do that? Turn off the game???

Lower back tightness which he apparently had yesterday as well.

This Frazier guy seems so much better than the Frazier guy we had before. #FountainsUp

I can't remember if I bought it in KC or if I got it as a gift.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Mine jumped last year.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Because it jumped so much from last year?

This sounds like an evening by the fire pit with adult beverages and Bluetooth speakers is in order.

Will you name it Zerpa or Schreiber?
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Welp 😜
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social)
Current convo... Wife: I don't understand Q's fascination with Zerpa and Schreiber. TV cuts to Royals bullpen to show Schreiber warming up. I guffaw. Wife: Fuck me.

Cream cheese off the smoker is a tasty snack whilst smoking and beer.

I managed to do that as well. It's how we found out our pharmacy hours changed.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Anytime now, two of the three cats will also be on that side of the bed.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Ours is open. Just not the pharmacy part.
John W 💙⚾ (@tatorsdad.bsky.social) reply parent
Mine is also 5 minutes away. Several others are twice as far 😂

My Walgreens pharmacy isn't open on Saturday or Sunday.

Tank 7 and an edible. Will this calm my excitement regarding this new and improved lineup? Unlikely. #FountainsUp

Google is no more accurate on the Missouri side either.
