I feel for Toronto Bluejay fans, upon return to Toronto needing to win one out of two games you had to feel good about your chances of winning the World Series. You came one out away, and cannot help but feel as though the tea... https://frankmcpherson.blog/2025/11/02/i-feel-for-toronto-bluejay.html

Usually the team that has the best pitching wins the World Series, and it looks like that is holding true once again.

It feels like we are at the precipice of another change as impactful as the industrial revolution but the people behind the wheel are most likely to drive us over the cliff than to help us safely transition in to it.

Because money is the American Idol (despite our being a Christian Nation) that means it is totally ok for one person to make money off the suffering of another. We have been unwilling to face this reality ever since it was put right in the front of our face by the tobacco industry in the 80s.

Oklahoma House passes resolution declaring Christ Is King. I wonder whether they understand what early Christians meant when they declared Jesus is Lord? They meant Ceasar is not. I guess is this why knowing by their fruits is more meaningful than their words.

If a society is based on consumption, what happens when the people in that society all lose their jobs?

We think the fall colors were at or near peak in the parts of the southern Upper Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan were we traveled, though these pictures don’t do it all justice.

Here are a couple of Great Lakes pictures from our fall trip. The first is of Lake Huron.

And this is Lake Michigan.

Last week we went on our annual fall trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I took this picture of the Mackinac Bridge.

Great win by the Chicago Cubs last night to force a division series deciding game on Saturday night. They finally score in more than one inning of a game in this series! Both teams could employ bullpen pitchers to start the game... https://frankmcpherson.blog/2025/10/10/great-win-by-the-chicago.html

The Yankees were the only team facing elimination from the MLB tournament to not win yesterday. Happy that the Cubs hung on to force a game four, but wish they would score in more than one inning per game. The real question is, who is going to pitch for the Cubs today?

Game 1 of the NLDS between the Cubs and Brewers was over for the Cubs before the first three Brewer outs of the game was recorded. Starting Boyd on only three days rest went very badly. Obviously the Cubs need to flush this game and win game 2 on Monday.

The Chicago Cubs managed to hold on to a 3-1 lead and beat the San Diego Padres yesterday to advance to the best of five game NLDS against Milwaukee. It should be a fun series starting Saturday.

The Cubs got shutout yesterday in the second Wild Card game, so today there is an elimination game with San Diego. Got to score runs to win a baseball game.
