Astros 6, Royals 5
W:Keuchel (1-1)L:Guthrie (5-2)SV:Veras (7)
recap
One thing about this bad team is that these boys do play hard, usually or most of them. I really like Dominguez. He may make mistakes, but he can also start a nice double play. Double Play
Miami is really pissing me off. They are tied with the Astros right now for the #1 draft pick in 2014. Where do they get off? Don’t they know that pick belongs to the Astros? Asshole Nation Leaguers.
A win is a win and it does make for a better evening.

Last week, I mentioned how I was going to put myself in a good mood. I think I did a pretty good job of getting there. But, I also said I was going to share something in each recap that makes me smile. So, what made me smile this week? I’ve given this some serious thought, I had a much better week than the ones referenced in my last recap so I had some options.
For one thing, I have been able to go to lunch with friends. That is a complete treat for me. And it is much better than sitting at my desk eating canned soup. I did enjoy lunch at Frenchy’s a lot last Thursday. Great company and pretty good chicken. The lunch I had on Friday was nice because I had not seen that friend in probably a year. Plus, it was nice to hear someone else complain about their job.
The lunches set the tone for the week. But the thing that really made me smile happened this past weekend. A candle was given to me. Yeah, a candle made me smile. I went to a friend’s house for a BBQ and ended up going home with a Yankee Candle (Man Town).
I will confess that the reason I enjoy the scent so much is it smells like a man’s cologne. I love men’s cologne. It is one thing that will cause me turn my head and give a guy a second look. (And I’m not the only one to love the smell of a clean man.) Cologne can make a man even more attractive.
Plus, the smell of men’s cologne also makes me think fondly of my dad. I remember how he smells after shaving and using aftershave. I’ve always liked the scent and when I smell it on another man it has a different reaction in me.
Please note, this does not mean that a man should drench himself in it. But that little lingering scent is a great thing and can be a good thing for a man.
On a new note, I can’t help but be sad. Recent natural disasters put things in perspective. I truly pray for the people in North Texas and Oklahoma. I cannot imagine what they are going through. Plus, I found out this past weekend that a friend lost their 2-month old daughter to SIDS. I don’t think one is worse than the other and wish neither on anyone. So, I’m going to try and pray that things get better for everyone soon.
