Fresh off the announcement of a new Head Coach for the North Coast, Tuesday nights NBA Draft Lottery brought just a little more disappointment to hopeful CAVS fans like myself, as we got the Number Five overall pick at the upcoming NBA Draft in June... Which means a very slim chance at Zion, let alone one of the other much hyped top prospects.  Number Five isn't all that bad, but it would be better for me if it wasn't for a couple other moments: First, Kyle Kuzma (in his "Lucky" purple jacket) and LeBron's Lakers getting to pick at Number 4... Really?! And then Former GM David Griffin, now a VP with the New Orleans Pelicans, was the man that was handed the 'Golden Ticket' to Zion with the Number One pick.  At least we aren't the Knicks.

Keith Urban has released a new single which may be from an upcoming album, no details on that just yet, but you know that we will keep you updated! In the meantime, we have "We Were", a song that looks back on a past relationship, and the reality that the relationship is in fact, in the past. By the way, the song was co-written by Eric Church along with songwriters Ryan Tindall and Jeff Hyde.

What do you think about this new song?

Every time I watch a MLB game these days, there always seems to be a conversation about speeding the game up.  I personally am not bothered by the length of the game, but many are.  MLB has done some things to help move the game along, to a degree.  But with replay some of this has been counterproductive.   But there are things that can be done I feel that would help too.

 

1/  Limit the relief pitchers to 3 warm up pitches on the mound as they enter the game.  (They've been throwing in the bullpen for 15 minutes)  Get a feel for the mound, and let's go.  (Think about it, this can happen 8-10 times in a game)

2/  Limit starting pitchers to half the warm up pitches between innings.  (This happens 18 times a game)

3/  Pitchers  - No stepping off the rubber once on it.  You must deliver the pitch, or throw to a base.

4/  Hitters  - Quit letting hitters call "time" all the time. Get in the box and let's hit.

5/  Umpires  -  Call the "high strike"  call the zone as it is designed.  The zone is to tight right now too many deep counts.

6/   Teams  -  Start games at 6PM (except for National TV games)  Part of Baseballs problem is it seems long because it goes deep in the night.  A 6PM start ends the game at about 9ish, and fans can still do more after the game.

7/   Teams   -  Stop the stupid 710 or 720 start.  Agian the appearance of long.  Things in the world start at the top of the hour.

Just a few thoughts on this ongoing subject.

There is nothing wrong with getting things done, but it’s better to make things happen”

 

Starting a job and finishing it is not to be minimized.  It’s a great quality to have and will serve you well always.  I do it, you do it and the world is a better place for it.  But as great as that is, many times that’s what we do as habit, and even though the job is complete, that was the only thing there that happened. 

Enter the idea of making things happen.  Those who do this as a way of life energize me, and make me want to be better.  I think they energize many who are around them if they’re watching closely.  Those who make things happen, know instinctively when something has been talked about enough, and now it’s time for action.  But not just “get it done” action.  But action to hit the throttle, to do it now, and right, and better than we talked about.  That quality lives within all of us, it just needs to be summoned maybe more often to make life better lived when we do.

When we feel very passionate about something, or we finally get that dream job, or when someone new comes into our lives.  We feel better than we did before and quietly up our game to not simply be happy with the job complete.  But when we make things happen, we want to be the one person, for the one task, that needs to be won. 

 

Have you been down this road? What do you do?  A couple years ago, my on-air partner Sarah Kay suggested to me that I start wearing a watch.  She said it would compliment me, so I took her advice and went to buy one.  I started off with a simple black leather banded, wrist watch for a few bucks.

Well I have been needing new batteries for both of my watches recently, and I was ticked off that replacing a watch battery can be about as expensive as a good lunch for two. So I put it off -  for a few months -   Until today!

 

I found this pawn shop of all places that not only put in a new battery, and set the time and date, they did it all for $5.99!  I have never been in a pawn shop before.  I didn't need a secret handshake, or code word, or anything.

Just $5.99 each and a couple of dead watches.    Thanks Nic!

My "Texter's Choice" question for Tuesday, May 14th: Do you like mushrooms on your pizza?

Check out my daily "Texter's Choice" question every afternoon on WQMX at around 3:50pm...and hear the results when I announce them at 4:20pm!

It was announce that Tim Conway has passed away due to dimentia.

I can remember oh so well watching the Carol Burnett show and all his crazy characters.

We laughed and laghed each and every week.  Never missed it.  The best was when they cracked each other up!
