After droppin' 'boutta grand yesterday over in a Louisiana casino (paid immediately, btw: See Charles Barkley), Da Stevo's kinda worn-out. Since that's da case, and I wanted to blog.. SUMPTHIN'...Here's what I got forya and you can use yer computers for research, if ya wanna, but be fair and guess first:
WHO IZ THIS GUY?
Once pinch-hit for Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Roger Maris.
SteveoinHTown
All three have been a credit to the sport. Unfortunately there are so few guys within the game today that one can look upon and say we actually admire 'em because of tjhe feats that they've accomplished.
Any truth to the rumour that if Barkley doesn't pay his IOU's to the Wynn Casino's there'll be a hit put out on him ? Rumour has it that Joe Pesci from Goodfellas and Casino fame is willing to do the hit for 'free'.
ramp...Ol' School ballplayers fer sure..
The way I understand it..Them cats don't care whoya are...they'll whackya if ya don't pay-up...Barkley got the cash...nbd...could be some sorta publicity stunt for Steve Winn...
Ok..nique...sinceya already alluded toda fact that you lacked in baseball history knowledge..I know ya googled it...shoulda figgered that trivia is a lame pursuit on the net...
....Back to you Joker..you can have this game...lol
Hell, nique, I didn't know it either..I was thinkin' of obscure baseball players and Carroll Hardy and guys like Ryne Duren, Phil Lenz, Tom Tresh and Jim Gentile came to mind...so I "Googled" 'em and found it out myself...
"Google" hazza lot to offer...and whatever it is, is prob'ly better'n "Trivial Pursuit"...ya gotta play that game sans computers...
Without "Google" or whutever...I could ask that question to random amount of 100 people (or alot more) and nobody would guess it...Matterafack..I'd BET onnit...
(Nowya gotta figger, after My trip to LA. yesterday, that bettin' AGAINST me might be a good bet...)
Try this: When yer out and about...pose that question to people and offer 'em 5-1 odds that they can't answer this question...and I guaranteeya..you'll come home with money...
I have to tell you...I really enjoy reading your blogs. The vocabulary and word spelling really give a casual sense of conversation. It's like, we are hanging out, having a couple of cold ones and just chattin'. I love it. It's fresh, and unique...it's you!
Don't ever change.
PS...Have no clue who the dude is, but props for paying the casino. Impressive.
sish...that's funny...wuzn't Boudreaux, but I rann across a cuple uvvem Thursday over in Louisiana...
Actually..I'm glad it ain't legalized over here in Texas...I'd be livin' under an overpass if it wuz...I gotta drive 'bout 3 hrs to git there...so it's just inconvenient enuff to at least think 'bout it before I go...

Good Morning Steve. Hows H-Town? Cards blew it last night. The place was packed! Beautiful night for baseball! The Cards are coming back to earth after that miracle start. Hows your 'Stros???
When I left the game it was 8-8 in the 7th(?)--Looked like a pitchers duel..Cards brought up a reliver from the minors that pitches about 9000 mph. Gets it over the plate a little too--Maybe we have a keeper!
Our ace closer, Izzy, cant hit his arse with either hand. Our starters after a good flourish early are streaky at best. We need another big bat to help put a little fear in the other pitchers. Other than that we are playoff bound!
The sun is finally out in this mud hole they call St. Louis--I have to get off my butt and do something even if its wrong..Have a good one and I will catch up with you later!!!
Who cares! Just saw him appear on the FREE and HOT celebrity&millionaire dating site ~~~#### ~~~ where you can meet many famous people and beauties. I have met my soul mate there. It is worthy of having a try.
SteveoinHTown Wynn is need of that sort of amoney as Bill Gates or Warren Buffett would likely need another $20m added to their personal fortunes.
I think that in this case Barkley thought that in being a named celebrity they'd give him time as such with his 'markers'.
And that's something that the people in Vegas won't allow you if the think that you're talking liberties. Which in effect is what Barkley has been doing.
$400K is what Barkley is alleged to be owing the Wynn Casino's. But hasn't MJ blown in excess of $4.5m there over the years ?

In all honesty it's preposterous but then again I look at this way the federal government has been flushing that sort of money down a neverending sinkhole for the last five years with no end in sight.
Whose tail are we actually chasing if not our own ? 'cause we're nowhere closer to finding Bin Laden than we are at spotting the proverbial rainbow and the leprechaun's pot of gold.
$400k when measured against $1.4trn it'd appear to be redundant. Brother can you spare a dime ?

I'm a life-long native of the GREAT COUNTRY of TEXAS. Been a sports fan all my life. I can be serious, irreverent, humorous and sometimes foolish on a lotta my "takes". Never mean any malice to anyone and that's why I have an affinity for "blogging". Cuz, after all, yuh can't whack me upside the head if I change my mind....
Caveat:
I drink beer.
