The Tulsa Twister Center Boccia Team is headed to Saint Louis for the Mississippi River Regional!!  The 10th and 11th of April will have some of the best Paralympic Boccia players from the nation!!  Our team will have Lee BC (butt crack) Jennings who finished 6th in the nationals in 2024!!  When Lee picks his Boccia Balls up from the floor his BC shows ๐Ÿ‘€โ€ผ๏ธ Our second Boccia para-athlete, Steven โ€˜the Boccia Ramp Machineโ€™, won three matches against tough competition in nationals last year!! The only incident in the nationals was when Lee, Steven and Bryan AKA: Foghorn Leghorn jacked the Center van and tried to go to Hooters!! They were caught and reprimanded by the Center Mafia head Margie! Haha! The last Boccia para-athlete is B and T Foghorn Leghorn who is known for his loud mouth and loudness from other areas of his backsideโ€ผ๏ธ

Alan is AIโ€ผ๏ธ

Spring has Sprung and so have my allergies!! Alan Crone never sneezes on air!!  Every morning when I wake up to the 5 am Bob Mills Weather Center Mrs B in T  and I sneeze at least 15 times while Alan never sneezes!! I believe Alan is AI and if you look really closely to his eyes u can see wires and microchipsโ€ผ๏ธ Google it and you will agree with my urban legend theoryโ€ผ๏ธ

In this picture he is either AI or a stoned Alanโ€ผ๏ธ or both๐Ÿคฃ

โšพ๏ธWhile this new style of MLB cap worked out just fine for the vast majority of teams throughout the league, the hat for the Texas Rangers caused some problems for anyone who speaks Spanish!The Rangers' version of the hat featured the team's "T" logo superimposed over the word "Texas." Unfortunately, the "T" logo went right overtop of the "X" in Texas, making the hat look as if it said "Tetas," which is a Spanish vulgarity for a woman's breastsโ€ผ๏ธ

Cardinals

The Cardinals have started the season like they want Marmol canned much faster than even I wanted!! Arenado and his salary is still with the team! I love it!! A number if baseball folks say the birdies will be 82-80 with Arenado! Geesh!  82-80 might win the Centralโ€ผ๏ธ


Cubs


The Cubby Bear roster is a good combination of youth and veteran talent! Strategically mixing and matching these players in order to best utilize them will need a magic touch  from manager Craig Counsell or he will be sent down to the Iowa Cubs by all-star break!!

A few of these examples include youngster Pete Crow-Armstrong being surrounded by Kyle Tucker and Ian Happ in the outfield. In the infield, rookie third baseman Matt Shaw will work alongside Jon Berti, Justin Turner, and even another younger player in Gage Workman. On the other side of the diamond, first baseman Michael Busch will see the vast majority of the playing time, but Turner will also back him up.

Royals


Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas said last week the city has offered more than $1 billion to the Royals to help the team build a new downtown stadium or renovate Kauffman Stadium! Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas said Tuesday the city has offered more than $1 billion to the Royals to help the team build a new downtown stadium or renovate Kauffman Stadium!!

โ€œWe do have, I think, a very robust offer that combines state and local incentives,โ€ Lucas said. โ€œItโ€™s my view that gets you to a $1.2 to $1.4 billion range with no tax increase. It doesnโ€™t calculate or include the current Jackson County sales tax.โ€

Do it guysโ€ผ๏ธ



Dodgers


The 2025 Major League Baseball season gets fully underway with games, games and more games! One team is the overwhelming favorite to win the World Series โ€” the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers, who are the defending champions, are led by Japanese superstar and the biggest name in baseball, Shohei Ohtani. And they may have an even better team this season!!  Who cares!! Let the money-hungry and billion-dollar payroll Corn Dodgers buy another World Series in 2025! Who cares! Biiioootches!โ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ I hope my brother is happyโ€ผ๏ธ ๐Ÿคฎ 


Astros


Cubs Cam Smith is an Astro!


On March 27, 2023, Cam Smith was a Florida State freshman batting .264 with 28 strikeouts through his first 21 college games. Exactly two years later, he was spending Opening Day as a member of the Astros.

Smith has just 32 games of pro experience, making his rise to an Opening Day roster the third quickest in major league history, since the Draft era began in 1965. Only Pete Incaviglia of the 1986 Rangers (zero games) and John Olerud of the 1990 Blue Jays (six) did it quickerโ€ผ๏ธ


Have a great sports weekend!

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 totsโ€ผ๏ธ 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. Patrickโ€™s Day run! Three-year-old Elliott barely made it passed the starting line before she exclaimed โ€œmy legs are too littleโ€! Needless to say she perched on Mom and Dadโ€™s shoulders for the remainder of the mile run! 

โฌ†๏ธThe sign above was at the race and received many laughs!! Not sure why!

๐ŸคชWhy these games, B in T?


*SEC folk watch a lot of football! 

*Big 12 Championship game was watched by fewer folks than the Oscars

*Texas vs OU Wed Wiver Wivalry was watched by less folks than than the new LA Suits TV show!

*Alabama vs LSU was watched by more Southern fried folks (Southern folks that are fried) than the Daytona 500!!

*Notre Dame vs Texas A&M- slightly more watching this game than leprechauns in the Dublin Forest of Clovers! True shat, Google it!

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 leftโ€ผ๏ธ Instead the Cougars barely got the ball in and then got heaved a 3 quarters miracle shot in to win the game by 2 pointsโ€ผ๏ธ

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 Gatorsโ€ผ๏ธ Houston guard L J Crier played a nasty defense to help the Sampson-led D to the victoryโ€ผ๏ธ

Cardinals

Record

Yadier Molina says heโ€™d manage anywhere โ€” 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 MOUTHโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ


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 yearโ€™s draft, Floridaโ€™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 Royalsโ€™ best power-hitting prospect, not just now, but everโ€ผ๏ธ And this Spring Training, heโ€™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 PIโ€ผ๏ธ


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 โ€œRun Forrest Runโ€โ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ


Have a great sports weekend!
