John McEnroe was watching Rafa Nadal play on the grass today. He compared him to another great left hander who dominated the sport for years. John said that these two champions ‘play every point like it’s the last point of their lives.’ Maybe Bernard Tomic should take notice.

Rockies pitching

July 7, 2017

They are learning the hard way that wise opponents just wait for the fastball knowing they’ll get at least three or four in every at bat. The good news is that they are grooming youngsters now who […]

Charlotte is a black lab staying with us while her family vacations in Mexico. She’s getting up there in years and doesn’t care to go on walks every day. Today, she felt especially energetic.
