I actually like the LA Dodgers. I’ve seen some of these guys play in Oklahoma City for the AAA Dodgers. There was that one night when my son took me to watch Clayton Kershaw pitch on a rehab assignment versus the Iowa Oaks which turned out to be one of the great sports nights of my life. My son then took me to a watch party with his friends to watch Floyd Merriweather fight the white trash cage fighter…what’s his name.
It was iconic. Merriweather won the fight, then I ended up at the Waffle House in north Oklahoma City at two in the morning. The place was packed with other people who watched the fight. I was the only white in the place, but fully embraced at the counter by the crowd when I announced my love for Merriweather.
It was a turning point moment for me as an older brown man. It was like an out of body experience or at the least being the feature on an Anthony Bourdain episode some place far away from Oklahoma. It was on that night, at that Waffle House, at that counter—that I realized MJ enjoyed being around black and brown people more than the phony white Christians who would eventually turn into the very same fake Trump Christians we witness today…but not as much in Oklahoma City and Norman as we do in Oklahoma’s other seventy-four 1920ish counties.
So as I’ve sat watching these incredibly tough Blue Jays oversome the loss of George Springer in Game 3…and the loss of Game 3 in the 18th inning—I must admit… I’ve fallen love with these guys for what they have done in these last two World Series games.
I wonder if Shai and Lu are as amped up as I am about the Jays winning their first World Series since 1993?
Who was president in 1993? It was Bill Clinton. Year one, first term. Who would have known the depths of hatred one blow job would have on the Republic. Who would have known Clinton, beyond the blow job, would leave the legacy of five succesive budget surpluses in his presidential, two-term wake.
Who would have known…Bill Clinton did what every Republican president since Reagan has never done even though they all are fake fiscal conservatives as well as being fake Christians as well.
Who would have known the revenue tax policies of Reagan, not Bush 41 so much, but certainly Bush 43, and Trump– would have the U.S. national debt at a staggering 37 trillion as I posit on the modest, award-winning okcthunderground.com blog.
So in closing…I have to admit even though I love the older Dodgers on the team like Clayton, Will Smith, and even Max Muncey—my competitive baseball heart is with the resilient Toronto Blue Jays to win this World Series and have one helluva parade which I’m sure would be something all Canadians and probably somewhere around 270 million Americans could use right now given the darkness of the Trump era as far as real Christian values, real compassion for other humans, and real fiscal responsibility go.
So good luck to the Toronto Blue Jays., and in the name of Joe Carter, Jr—finish the job!
Peace and eternity forever.
Go Jays!
Del Mar bound in January!!!
