OBSERVATIONS: When Pete Rose searched for a deal
By Hal McCoy UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from the Man Cave, watching our puppy, Parker, run in circles in the yard, full of sugar after climbing a table in the living room and stealing (and eating) three Hershey Kisses from a candy dish. We called the vet and we were told she should be OK. And she […]
OBSERVATIONS: Graves named to Reds ‘Hall’

OBSERVATIONS: Why isn’t Vada in ‘The Hall?’
By HAL McCOY UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave, sitting in a new (well, used but new to me) tan leather recliner after the recline handle broke on my old black leather La-Z-Boy.

OBSERVATIONS: A total ‘Brown-Out’ in Miami
By Hal McCoy UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from the Man Cave trying to convince my schnoodle, Paige, that she can’t play ball in the snow.

OBSERVATIONS: Dusty almost faded into obscurity
By Hal McCoy UNSOLICITED OBSERVATIONS from The Man Cave, starting a diet with the goal of losing 15 pounds.
