Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 01, 2018

Must be referring to the Blue Jays

^ Well, I think the meaning is, if your baseball team is not goint to make it to the postseason, you may as well watch football.

And that is the Death of Baseball — kinda like Pratchett’s Death of Rats.

If you are a gambling man, it could be useful information. Can he provide info on the other teams?

Not much of a fan is he? He wouldn’t make it in Philly.

Nice set of teeth on the dog.

The Grim Pitcher.

Ever notice that Wiley dogs look more scarier than his bears?

Oh, and the Lions…We are talking about football….

One dares not speak of the standings as death is listening everywhere.

Love the dog’s facial expression while it does what its doing…

You have to love the scythe.

Mr. Met in a black robe.

If he’s a Met fan, he already knows.

No matter to me; hockey season starts in a few weeks.

Scary dog.

Hmm. Plasma screen as a kind of room divider. Interesting concept.

Why are so many teams named for birds? I mean, they aren’t the most rugged critters on the planet.

Perhaps all the cool mammals, insects, and reptiles were taken by college teams.

You realize the Orioles and Royals are playing what can be best described as the anti-World Series this weekend.

Useless information of the day: there are 108 double stitches on a baseball.

I’d be more scared of the dog.

The man’s got to be a Baltimore Oriole and a Baltimore Colts fan. Might as well just wait for basketball season….What ? …. Oh !….Never mind…There’s always next year !

NoHo the Tigers

To all that are wondering about the dog. It could be called the “Wiley Dog”, it has been a while, but it pops up every now and then…

This is how it is for me; I only have space in my brain for one sport at a time. I’ll be AWARE that football has started, but I can’t care about it until my baseball team is out of contention. I’ll be AWARE that basketball has started, but I can’t care about it while my football team is in contention. And I’ll be AWARE that baseball has started, but I can’t care until my basketball team is done. (I never CARE about hockey, but there are a couple of teams I might pay some attention to, if there’s a chance they’ll go all the way.)

The way it’s worked out for the last few years, my basketball season starts early and ends late, my baseball season starts late but also ends late, and my football season lasts about six games. :-)

My baseball team’s not making the playoffs? Disappointing, but still no reason to pay attention to the NFL.

I don’t know what bothers me more, the fact that my team is in first place with a .684 PCT and a 6.5 games ahead and have been known to blow leads, or the fact that some mediocre wildcard could get hot and upset them in the playoffs.

It would be ironic if my Red Sox, who’ve won 93 and lost only 43, or their despised rivals the N.Y.Yankees, who’ve won 85 and lost 50 were both to get knocked out of the playoffs.

Visiting the Marlins (Florida and Miami) since 2004

If they don’t have naked cheerleaders… what’s the point of watching?

Of course, even if they did, I probably wouldn’t bother, but at least it would be interesting for a change.

The Death of Baseball is very Sudden.

Love the maniacal dog. Seen him before.

It’s Rolf!
