Another Edition of Random Thoughts

How many baseballs do they go through in the average major league game?  And do you call them baseball balls? Or just baseballs? Because baseball is the name of the game and the name of the ball. 

My softball-playing daughter assures me that just baseball is the right term. And a Google search reveals that 120 balls are the average amount of balls used. Do you know they have to toss a ball if it touches the dirt? I can’t help but think that Spalding, the baseball supplier, must be on the baseball board. 

“Yes, should a ball touch dirt, it might affect the trajectory of the next hit.” Or something akin that. You’d think in this day and age that they could come up with some sort of baseball that could withstand a little dirt smudge.

Do assassins get carpal tunnel? This question came to me as I was trying—quite unsuccessfully—to power wash the patio. I have carpal tunnel and the squeezing of the trigger was quite painful. My power washing attempt appears as if a small child was released to my patio with a bleach crayon—if they made such a thing. I think I see a mushroom in one picture and perhaps Saturn in another. Maybe it’s a homage to my new car. That must be it.

But back to the question. Do assassins or snipers get carpal tunnel? Evidently they don’t post much on online because Google was no help to me on this one.

Have you seen the previews for the new Ryan Reynolds/Jeff Bridges movie, RIPD? In the movie, Ryan and Jeff play cops who’ve died and come back to hunt down spirits who refuse to leave Earth. Kind of like Men In Black done with ghosts. 

 

But what I wonder about is the fact that while on earth, Ryan and Jeff inhabit different bodies. While Ryan looks like an older Asian man, Jeff is a hot blond chick. Here’s my question, why would a guy want to be a hot woman? The only heads he’s turning are men. If a guy wants a woman’s attention, I’d think he’d want to inhabit Ryan Reynold’s body--seriously, check out that top pic of eye candy. Just saying.
