Lets Talk DROUGHTS!
Enough about tornados, lets talk about rain droughts which are local weathermen's fault too!! Since 2000, 57% of weeks in the Polecat-Snake (Tulsa, Creek County) watershed have had some drought, and 8% have had extreme drought!! Polecats and snakes are what my mom, grandma and I had for dinner in the 60s!! Actually they had that and I had fish sticks and gator tots‼️ In 2012, Tulsa experienced drought conditions due to below-normal rainfall in the spring, summer, and fall!! Cracks in the pavement turned into cracks in the soil over a 5-month period!!
*Three longest Oklahoma droughts:
(I wrote a paper on the Dust Bowl at Nathan Hale High!)
*The 1930s Dust Bowl drought, from July 1928 to May 1942
*The 1950s drought, from July 1949 to September 1957
*The early 21st-century drought, from June 1998 to December 2014!

The Keli, Lance, Charlie, and Elliott family all did the St. Patrick’s Day run! Three-year-old Elliott barely made it passed the starting line before she exclaimed “my legs are too little”! Needless to say she perched on Mom and Dad’s shoulders for the remainder of the mile run!
⬆️The sign above was at the race and received many laughs!! Not sure why!

Death, taxes and Tyler O’Neill homering on Opening Day‼️

B in T College BBall picks:
Final Four Men‼️
Alamodome in San Antonio, TX
Florida 70 Auburn 65
The Gators have finally made it to San Antonio and Auburn has finally got Bruce Pearl to the Final Four but not to the final 2‼️
Sorrrrry Bruce 😭😭😭‼️
Houston 68 Duke 66
The mastery of Kelvin Sampson went back to his days at OU, and out did the Duke preppies and coach Jon Scheyer! This play was designed to do 4 passes in 5.5 seconds all the way down the floor for an open layup for the winning bucket with Zero time left‼️ Instead the Cougars barely got the ball in and then got heaved a 3 quarters miracle shot in to win the game by 2 points‼️
NCAA National Championship
Houston 77 Florida 69
Milos Uzan was a one-man wrecking crew for the mighty Cougars as they succumbed a late rally to hold off the Gators‼️ Houston guard L J Crier played a nasty defense to help the Sampson-led D to the victory‼️
B in T MLB:
Cardinals
Record
Yadier Molina says he’d manage anywhere — even the Cubs
"If we decide as a family, if I have a chance to manage, I can manage anywhere. ... I'd manage the Chicago Cubs, if they want." No, no, no the Cardinal job will be available after the Birds go 10-20 their first month!! I JUST THREW UP IN MY MOUTH‼️🤮🤮🤮
Cubs
Record
Pitcher Cade Horton, #1 pick and former OU stud notched his 1st save with a 97mph fastball ball and a sinker to die for!!
Royals
During last year’s draft, Florida’s two-way star Jac Caglianone somehow fell to the Royals at the #6 spot, and the team made the smart decision to select him!! The youngster, now listed at six-foot-six-inches and 250 pounds, mashed in college, knocking 75 career home runs while adding another 28 doubles!! In his last year with the Gators, he slashed .419/.544/.875 for an eye-popping 1.419 OPS. He hit nine more home runs (35) than he had strikeouts (26).
Oh, and he also pitched!!
Currently he is probably the Royals’ best power-hitting prospect, not just now, but ever‼️ And this Spring Training, he’s making a strong statement that his days in the minors, which consisted of just 29 games for the Quad Cities River Bandits, plus some time in the Arizona Fall League, should be over! OF is his spot but who cares with 3 homers and 6 extra-base hits and a .375 average in spring training!!
Dodgers
The Dodgers are spotlighting their trio of Japanese stars, led by Shohei Ohtani, as the team prepares for the Tokyo Series, marking the MLB season's official start in Japan!! Ohtani, a cultural icon and recent MVP winner, aims to share this moment with his teammates. Joining him are pitchers Yamamoto, who performed strongly in the previous season despite injury setbacks, and rookie Sasaki, making his MLB debut!! Both players express excitement about representing their country on such a significant stage!! BE SURE TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS AND HIRE A PI (private investigator) to watch the interpreter! If the Japanese player speaks fluent English he probably does not need an interpreter or a PI‼️
Astros
Pitcher Forrest Whitley faced early setbacks after a suspension related to a drug prevention and treatment program. Whitley has a lively arm have but injuries further complicated his journey, prompting questions about his long-term role with the team! Whitley, now out of minor league options, must make the Opening Day roster or risk seeing his tenure with the club come to an end! After feeling discomfort in his left knee during a game against the Yankees, an MRI revealed a bone bruise. The injury has led to a brief pause in his throwing activities, leaving him unable to contribute on the mound for a few days. This setback is particularly disappointing given his efforts last season when a transition to a relief role seemed to provide him with a clearer path to the Major League roster! And remember “Run Forrest Run”‼️‼️
Have a great sports weekend!
