Making Mischief

The Dawgs shut out Samford. Stetson threw for 300 yards, hitting 13 different receivers in the process, including tight end Darnell Washington (below).

Tech won 35-17 but gave up a bunch of yards. Might've been closer had Western Carolina hadn't turned it over so much.

Clemson allowed Furman to score four times but still won handily. The freshman QB didn't look as good. QB DJ U looked only okay but was only playing the Paladans. He still spends to much time deciding where to throw, and runs more than he should.

I might've helped create a fiasco at my company. While many of us down in the trenches are trying to get more work done than we can possibly handle, deluged with hundreds of emails every day, buying and shipping and making money selling metal – others up in the home office send out additional emails with various stories about our company. Most are of no interest. A few months ago the company home page started offering a bi-weekly poll, asking employees their favorite ice cream, etc. Fun stuff. But a couple of weeks ago the poll asked what was your favorite music: classical, jazz, rock, etc. I thought it interesting that country was not an option listed, a choice seemingly excluding an entire region of the country. I made an innocent comment asking why no country music, not being accusatory or vindictive or anything. My comment was deleted. A few others commented with the same question, but their comments remained. Later the poll was taken down, and all evidence of polls on the company webpage can no longer be seen. Can you say whitewash? Were they canned? Sacked?

When covid hit they pulled away almost half the chairs at tables in the break room at work, to allow for social distancing. I started adding some of the chairs back to the tables, since covid is all but over. We'll see if anyone notices.

"God makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away" (Job 12:23).

"The wicked shall return to Sheol, all the nations that forget God" (Psalm 9:17).

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lᴏʀᴅ" (Psalm 33:12).

"If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it. And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it, and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had intended to do to it" (Jeremiah 18:7–10).

Alfred, Lord Tennyson prayed, "Our wills are ours, to make them thine."

I've added three more jerseys to my collection this month. Just what I need. Time to make a list.

Third baseman RED ROLFE  [SABR Bio] on one of the strongest teams ever, led the AL in doubles and led the majors in runs and hits but was a lackluster 27th in MVP voting that year. He placed tied for 24th the prior season. Five teammates finished ahead of him. In the 1939 AL MVP voting, Joe DiMaggio (the winner), Red Ruffing, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon & Charlie Keller all received more votes than Rolfe did that year, as did 20 others. Rolfe returned to his college alma matter and was the baseball coach for 14 years at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. The baseball field there bears his name.

Oriole third baseman JOHN McGRAW  [SABR Bio] led the NL in runs and walks two years straight. He had 143 & 140 runs and 112 & 124 walks in 1898 & 1899. He owns the all-time highest single-season batting average and highest single-season on-base percentage for a third baseman. He hit .391 in 1899. He learned to hit to the opposite field to avoid breaking windows at a church near right-center field. McGraw became an excellent contact hitter and would probably have received HOF votes even if he had never managed. McGraw managed NYG teams that lost the World Series in 1911, 1912, 1913, 1917, 1923 & 1924. No manager has lost more World Series than he has.

Mark my words: Strider and Harris will split the vote, allowing Brendan Donovan to win rookie of the year.

Old Friends

Had a delightful time at the shower for Margaret Hurt. There was an open bar and catered supper: breaded chicken tenders with a sauce, shrimp and cheesy grits, breaded salmon, broccoli, salad, and a corn dish.

Matthew is the groom. Met Margaret in junior high at Living Science, so he knows my kids and the Normans. Graduated from Tech and co-opped at GM in Detroit. Loves cars, which gave him a connection to David.

Margaret works from home, where she also cares for her special needs dog.

David is doing well. He and Haley are headed to Boston for a Yankees / Red Sox game next week.

Mary hung out with the ladies, and retold the story of her heart attack, and ubering to the emergency room.

Haley Hurt works in Virginia Highland but lives with David & Mary in Cumming. When cousin Nina travels she often house-sits in Candler Park. A couple of these photos were stolen from her.

Bob Hurt is David’s older cousin. Lives in Washington DC, was a lobbyist / former AJC reporter. Worked for Sam Nunn. Has a place in St. Simons as well.

Ashley was talking about riding Amtrak to Charlotteville. Wife Diane was there as well.

Talaat isn’t yet fully retired. Doctor at Emory and Grady. Keeps up with the Huberts. He took a selfie with me, so I returned the favor.

Magy is a big sports fan. Pulls for LSU since their daughter went there. Went to the GT/Clemson game, used Jere Goldsmith’s tickets.

Becky Norman came with Ashely.

Jim Ewing looks good. Headed to Montana to go fly fishing with son George. Retired but keeps busy.

Jimmy Ewing and wife were there. Talked to Talaat for a long time.

George Ewing wasn’t there, but his company is doing well. Designs rail spurs for business expansions.

Bob Marsh wasn’t there, but we may see him Sunday at Jimmy Ewing’s daughter’s baptism.

Richard, David’s brother, still plays in a band. Tonight they’re playing at the High Card Brewery in downtown Tucker.

I mistook Matthew’s father for his brother. He helped his son build his Dawsonville house from the ground up, on four acres. They were also happy with the Living Science experience.

Nina was the hostess there at her house on Clifton Road in Candler Park, which is owned by her father Bob Hurt. Used to work for WABE radio.

Denison on Queen Elizabeth: the more power one exercises, the greater the temptation to use that power for one’s personal agendas. This makes Queen Elizabeth II’s humility and servant-heartedness all the more unique and illuminating. She prayed daily, every day of the week. She received religious instruction as a child from the Archbishop of Canterbury and possessed a spiritual depth that impressed many who met her.

Kevin McCarthy, minority leader of the House of Representatives, added that the queen “represented what it means to lead with conviction, selflessness, and faith in God and in her people. She led her people with grace, showing what servant leadership means in principle and in practice.”

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell noted, “Despite spending three quarters of a century as one of the most famous and admired individuals on the planet, the Queen made sure her reign was never about herself—not her fame, not her feelings, not her personal wants or needs. She guided venerable institutions through modern times using timeless virtues like duty, dignity, and sacrifice.”

Games tomorrow: with the winner in bold. Hopefully the Jackets won’t come out flat after playing a good game this past Monday night. Western Carolina will come ready to play. Florida could be for real, after beating Utah last week. Kentucky thinks they can win the SEC East, but they might be looking past the Gators. Wish Pitt would be the Vols, but it may be too much to ask. Dabo beats Tech and Clemson gives him a raise.

Georgia State gave South Carolina a bit of a game last week. Maybe they can do the same with UNC. That’s here in Atlanta, right? Was listening on the radio yesterday about GSU’s star player, a running back who’d been a star recruit from Grayson. Chose SC over UGA, and eventually transferred to Georgia State. He loved to play defense but offense has worked out better for him. He’s on the Doak Walker Award Watch List.

I was running a little late this morning and I had stayed up late last night, so I just went hard for just over two miles. Had to use a different treadmill and was concerned it might make too much noise when I ran, so instead of walking  for a minute to warm up I began running immediately.

Busy morning trying to finish my expense report. Lots of work to do.

God Save the Queen

Queen Elizabeth passed away today. For anyone under 75 years old, she is the only Queen in memory. Her reign lasted for 30% of the existence of the United States, during the terms of fourteen of the 46 US Presidents. Most of the world mourns her death and celebrate her life, though some are doing the opposite.

No truth to the rumor that Reggie Jackson killed the Queen.

I made a 48 foot putt on the third hole Saturday morning. A straight shot. I played holes one through 7 with Robert. Then he headed to the nearby first tee to play a second nine with his 8 o'clock crowd. I played 8 by myself, then joined Paul on the 7th tee. Played 7, 8, and 9 with Paul.

In the parking lot I realized no one was on the first tee. No golfers were in sight, on any of the first three holes. I decided to keep playing. Played the first four holes, then saw Robert's five-some was still on the 5th green. Thought I had time to tee off ahead of them on six, but I didn't. Headed toward the 7th tee not knowing a golfer was finishing up on the 6th green.

While walking down the 6th fairway both me and a greenskeeper got stung by bees, me in the head. I should've played five, and poked along behind Robert's crowd. By then I'd had enough, so I skipped 7 and 8 and went straight to the 9th tee, a straight walk from the 6th green. So I played 16 holes, but walked 18. 

Stopped by McDonalds on the way home. They were out of bacon, so they gave me a chicken egg & cheese biscuit.

Then by two thrift stores. I had 10000 steps by 10 am and almost 11000 before 11 am. Finished with over 14000 steps for the day. I was worn out. Didn't help when I was kneeling over to clean out two cabinets. Ceil cleaned out a third. Filled my car with stuff for Goodwill. Was glad when the UGA game came on, so I could rest.

Monday AM golf.
1. Decent drive. Good 5 iron just short of green. Good chip. Good lag putt. Bogey.
2. Cruddy 3 wood off tee sliced right. Good chip over green but good chip back. Double
3. Cruddy 7 iron off tee, but good chip onto green. Bogey.
4. Third straight cruddy tee shot. With a greenskeeper watching I poked a great 8 iron onto the green. Double.
5. Okay 3 wood off tee that stayed right. Decent chip that rolled off the green. Good chip back. Another double.
6. Good straight drive off tee. Okay 5 iron that knuckled itself down the fairway. Good 7 iron to fringe. Okay chip that rolled past the hole. Three putt. Triple
7. Badly sliced drive off tee. A flub, then a good 5 iron through the tree that crested the hill. Poor 5 iron that went right into the rough. Decent chip, then another. Two putt. Snowman.
8. Good drive pretty much straight down the fairway. A flub, then a 7 iron that didn't make it down the hill. Good chip over a mound. Three putt. Triple.
9. Flubbed the tee shot, then poked a good 6 iron just short of the green. Terrible chip, but the mulligan was much better. Another three putt on a tough green. Triple.

After golf I swung by McDonalds again. They always have deals in the app. Then three thrift stores. Bought a shirt and pants, and left them in my car to wear after the gym. Later I drove C to Michael's, Whole Foods, the bank, and Publix. Winnie came with us. C cooked burgers.

Is Yadi a hall of famer? His stats don't stack up the to recent greats: Yogi, Bench, Piazza, Fisk, and Rodriquez. Fewer home runs, RBI, walks, lower OBP, slugging percentage, OPS, and WAR. Yadi may not strike out much, but he strikes out twice as much as Yogi. Defense alone won't get a catcher into Cooperstown. Can't remember if I had posted this before.

SAM CRAWFORD [SABR Bio] a future Hall of Famer, after being released by DET in 1917 Crawford joined the minor league Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League, helping them to win league championships in 1918 and 1921. According to a biography from the Nebraska Hall of Fame Crawford was a star athlete at Wahoo High School, leading the team to two state football championships in 1896 and 1897. He was the first modern player to lead both the American League and the National League in home runs. With the Reds he led the majors in HR in 1901 with 16 (only four were over-the-fence). With the 1908 Tigers his seven homers led the AL (five sailed over the fence. Of those, three were off future Hall of Fame hurlers).

Your First Place Atlanta Braves

The Braves won their 7th straight game last night, and are still tied for first place with the Mets, who are faded despite playing the weak part of their schedule. This time last week Braves fans were panicking after they lost three straight games while losing the Cardinals series 1-2, then winning the Rockies series 2-1. They are 63-24 since the beginning of June, and have erased a 10-1/2 game deficit. 

Last night Acuna scored the go-ahead run, tagging up from third and scoring on a sacrifice fly into deep foul territory by Contrares. Here’s something they might discuss on sports talk radio: in that situation would it ever be better for Oakland to let the ball drop in foul territory, so the run doesn’t score? Batters are usually worse hitters down two strikes. There was a 90% chance Acuna would score on the play, but less than a 30% chance the batter would be able to knock him in on an ensuing pitch. But no team ever does not get that foul out given a chance.

With the Braves in Oakland, it’s a good time to see how the Olson for Pache trade is working out so far. I know its way to early to tell, with over seven years left on Olson’s contract. Langeliers was named to the AA all star team, then was called up when rosters expanded in September. Pache has yet to turn into the next Andruw Jones.

FERGIE JENKINS  [SABR Bio] surrendered 211 home runs in the AL and 273 in the NL. He totaled more than 3,000 strikeouts but fewer than 1,000 bases-on-balls: 3192 Ks and 997 walks. Jenkins struck out all three Alou brothers. Felipe, Matty & Jesus also each homered off Jenkins.

Sometimes I will mutter to myself “something’s rotten in the state of Denmark” sounding like my old high school chemistry teacher Mr. Bentley, inventor of the legendary “Bentley Tentley” tent warming system. I took that class with my best friend Don Lott. The something’s rotten saying comes from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Don and I made an 8 mm film about Hamlet for a high school English project, along with fellow musketeers Chuck Smith and Angus Howard. I’m hearing rumors of a high school reunion. We shall see.

Tuesday: left work at 5:30. Didn’t want to mess with 285 west and 75 north, so I took Spaulding over 400, across Roswell Road all the way to Johnson Ferry, then over Paper Mill to Lower Roswell to Delk to the Ruby Tuesday near I-75. A relaxing, winding drive through the trees with hardly any traffic. Cashed in my ticket for a free Ultimate Crispy Chicken Sandwich, loaded with bacon and cheese and fancy dressing. Got it to go.

DENISON: don’t think the creators of Little Demon are simply making art they hope makes money. Like those behind much of the advocacy of our day, they are advancing ideology they want us to embrace. There’s another agenda at work here: behind every temptation stands the tempter (John 8:44) and “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4). In The Screwtape Letters, C. S. Lewis observed: “There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.” The creators of Little Demon are advancing and advocating for demonic realities on a truly dangerous level. The occult is horrifically popular today: the TikTok hashtag #WitchTok has 20.5 billion views, while psychic services is an industry worth $2.2 billion in the US. The Bible rejects astrology and horoscopes (Jer 10:2), mediums and fortune-tellers (Lev 19:31; Micah 5:12), seances (Deut 18:10–12), and worship of Satan in any form (Matt 4:10). The first step into the occult opens the door to all that lies behind it. If you would not allow cancer in your body, you must not allow spiritual cancer in your soul. Since “the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19), anyone who does not belong to Christ ultimately belongs to “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4).

Speaking tip:

Same Old Clemson

I wouldn’t mind Tech losing every game as long as they (1) wouldn’t have so many dumb penalties, (2) not have punts blocked, (3) not throw interceptions or fumble, (4) not drop passes right in their hands, (5) play as well against average teams as they do against great teams, and (6) not have players constantly tripping and falling down without getting hit.

The game could’ve been much closer than 41-10. Tech’s offense has improved. QB Jeff Sims played well. Not bad considering they were playing one of the best defenses in the country. The Tech defense swarmed over Clemson offensive players all night, but got scant help from the Jacket offense and special teams.

Clemson’s offense really didn’t get going until late in the game. Easy to see that freshman QB Cade Klubnik from Texas (above) is light years better than starter DJ. Only a matter of time before the freshman takes over. GT defense looks good, and they are improved, but the Clemson QB helped make the Jacket defense look better. QB DJ may have lost weight and rededicated himself, but he looked the same as last year. Fumbles the snap. Designed run - and he fumbles. Runs, and falls down. Breaks into the open - and falls down. Drops back to pass. Instead of 1-2-3-thow, DJ hesitates, holding onto the ball too long. Gets sacked. Even on the TD pass DJ held onto the ball too long. Delay of game. Having to call timeout of the fourth and goal. Tigers go up 14-0 but that kind of offensive play won't work against Notre Dame, South Carolina, or FSU.

Tech social media was blasting full bore before the game. Lots of hype. As usual, about the time Clemson went ahead by two touchdowns, the GT social media went silent. Discouraging as a Tech fan to hear the announcers say over and over “bad call by the Tech coaches” and “not sure why Tech did that” and “bad play by Tech”. When Tech’s talent isn’t as good as their opponents, they’re not going to win much when they keep shooting themselves in the foot. First play: Sims under center, so by the time he drops back he is under pressure. Interception. GT offense doesn't look too bad. QB Sims settled down and makes plays. But the same mistakes year after year under Coach Collins.

GT in all navy. Ugh. Clemson wears the same uniform every game. On the road it's white over white.

After missing a 50 yard field goal, a Tech kicker made a 45 yard field goal - then put the ensuing kickoff into the end zone.

Saw where Connie and Danny Morris went to the GT game. Stephanie Dukes was at the UGA game, as well as Will, Anna, & Caleb. Will said Shivonne picked out an orange outfit to wear on Saturday.

Sometimes teams like NC State get lucky. I watched a good chunk of that game but finally changed the channel. NC State did not impress me as an ACC contender. Neither did UNC, who let a good App State team score 60 points on them.

LSU kicker gets his PAT blocked with the game on the line. FSU has improved.

After church on Sunday I drove C down to shop at Lenox Square with Anna. I looked for a McDonalds, but settled on a chocolate milkshake from the Shake Shack. Then I took a nap in the car, since Lenox doesn’t have anyplace to sit any more. Pretty sure I saw Randy Scoggins. Later watched some of LSU/FSU. The Noles have improved.

Rumor: Ozzie Albies is fielding balls in the outfield, to possibly give the Braves the deepest lineup possible for the stretch drive.

Busy again at work. Busted my butt all last week filling in for a vacationing coworker, so I have plenty of catching up to do.
