With Keys I'm always waiting for her to do the Lindsay-kicking-the-tennis-ball around thing, then you know she's done. I'm honestly not sure if Lindsay is the best coach for her but she does seem to be doing better this time around. It would be nice to see a couple of the U.S. players make it through another round...excited but anxious. I'm always so negative, waiting for the big flop to happen. All 4 have been playing pretty well...I've been very surprised by Coco - this next matchup will likely be the end for her but we'll see.

We should start a pool on how long it is before we're at war with North Korea. It's the Right's only choice at this point - they have to get the flags waving and the Bibles thumping

The way things have gone thus far - I think Kelly is tough, but will try to save face as long as he can. Won't want to be a quitter. But, I think if his advice isn't being heeded (it won't, because Dump isn't smart enough to listen to anyone) - I think I give it...2 months. But - It depends on whether there's a war or not - there probably will be. If there's a war, he'll be there for - I say the tenure of the Presidency.

Oh something nasty will happen. I tweeted back at Robert Costa. Like 45's own vulgar language, actions, and tweeting didn't mean anything and aren't linked to his own mouth? Please. If he doesn't want to be embarrassed he needs to keep that hole in his own head shut tight.

45 is all about setting records. His Lowness: Well, it must be some kind of record! HYOOOOOGE! HUGE Records...why can't you see it? The fake news won't talk about it, but this is a RECORD! It's beautiful, just beautiful. Wait 'til ya see what we're gonna do. Yeah, you mean....most screwed-up administration EVER. Record for the most people replaced within 6 months...or quit within months? Most disruption ever on record???

I can't stand watching Isner's matches. He has a serve and that's it. There was a smash in that match that he missed, and he was literally 8 feet from the net if that, was right there, and smashed the ball half way down the net. How on Earth does that happen when your head is 7 feet tall. Raise your hand stretched upright, there's another 2 feet or more because of his size (probably much more) to your mid-palm where you hold your racquet. Add on the length of the racquet to the sweet spot and there's another 22 to 24 inches, so say 2 more feet. He's striking the ball overhead at 11 to 12 feet in the air - at 8 feet from the net how on Earth do you hit it half way down the net. And when you watch him, you feel like if the ball is 3 feet on either side of him, he's not going to get it. And if he doesn't win the point on his serve/ace or one when his opponent just dings it back, there's like a 75% chance he's not going to win the point. But then again, I never liked watching Sampras much either because I think it's boring tennis - but at least Pete could play.

I don't want Cilic. I think he's a hothead. Strangely I didn't like Roger years ago. Now, He's old guard. It's kind of like - I would always root for Martina or Chris over anyone younger. Even when the torch should be passed - nah. I want my girls.

Brad Gilbert - so funny. RE: Federer he said something like, everyone all up in arms, "oh no he's not playing his best, he's not playing well for him, oh my he's got a runny nose! Well, he won in straight sets in a grand slam semi. He's doing horribly." LOLLL

I don't know if I mentioned before but I'm in DC. Brett Haber was a local sports anchor here and I still have no idea why he made it to where he is. He was not impressive to me at all as a sports anchor and then he left and started popping up like Dandelions on TV...

I can't stand Vanderweight Trumpette. I don't actually dislike Konta though - I feel bad for the British women sometimes (sometimes). I know of like 1 place here in Northern Virginia (well Maryland) where they even have grass courts, and I've never played on one. The Brits should RULE on grass considering they HAVE THEM. But they don't. I want to post questions about how they maintain those courts if it's a club...I guess no one plays on any of the main Wimbledon courts all year because that grass has to grow and must be a bi88ch to groom....so members must play on courts 60 through 100 for the rest of the year? LOL. For the guys, I know people don't like him, but I like Jack Sock - look up some Youtube videos - he photobombs other people's interviews and asks questions and holds up cell phones like he's a reporter - I love his personality. Tennis right now is blah for me. No American Women upcoming I really want to win. I'd like to see Venus win another one, and I want Roger to win another one. If I root for someone else I actually like Mugarutha's personality...and I actually think rather than Clay, she could be better on grass or even hard court than clay.

Coco Overweight I think caught a break with that rain delay - horrible first set but at 2-2 in the 2nd - lucky break to get off the court and regroup.

Interesting - the payouts for each round of Wimbledon. I knew they get paid just for making it into the draw but I had no idea how much it was for each round. http://www.totalsportek.com/tennis/wimbledon-prize-money/

Well - I'm shocked....Muller had chances and it just seemed to be set up for the flop, but he managed to pull it out somehow. I need to look at the Men's draw and see who's on what side - I've been watching matches but have no idea who is on what side...but, anytime Roger is in and Rafa is out, I'm happy. I just want Roger to have another one.

Mueller will never pull this match out....completely had Rafa on the ropes and let him off the hook...

Well, Kerber made it a little further this time around....but out. Ostapenko/Williams should be interesting...Ostapenko seems has just risen so fast.

Hey everyone - I found Michael O'Leary's "Bauer Burger" Recipe. You don't even need to be exact with the measurements....The double patty and packing the cheese and other ingredients in between the 2 patties really is unique and always gets rave reviews. I like Cheddar so I've used that, and other ingredients I've tried are Jalapeno or Green Chili also between the patties with the Onion...I grill my onion too before I put it between the patties. I miss the BBQ every year and Guiding Light especially around July 4th and the Holidays... ~Michael O'Leary's Recipe for Bauer Burgers~ 1. Get 2 lbs of ground sirloin, then mix in some garlic, pepper, salt and 3 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. 2. Make an even number of thin hamburger patties. (Be sure to make them very thin.) 3. Chop up some onion and put it on top of the first patty. Then put a slice of American or mozzarella cheese on top. Grill some mushrooms and put them on top of the cheese. Cover the whole thing with another patty. 4. Using a fork press down the edges of the patties so they are sealed 5. Barbecue the double patties over a low flame until done. It takes more time to cook due to the thickness of the patties.

Ugh - she had to have torn like 3 ligaments...I tore my ACL once with a full cartilage tear but I played on it with a brace until I had the surgery. Every now and then it would "come out" and it hurt like a *itch and that was just 1 ligament. Felt like if you bite down on your teeth on purpose...like an off bite, and then snap them together correctly....it was like.....'it's out!'....oh, there it is, now it's in.

It made me wonder if it was more than just a knee injury or if it was just the emotion of knowing you're out of it again - possibly this time for good. Or it reminded me of that one kid - was it college basketball....where he broke his leg and they found out he had some kind of cancer? I've not seen anything like this on a Tennis court...

Venus had a tough press conference earlier today. I feel bad for her - it was awkward from the beginning. A reporter asked her about if she had to change her bra (due to it being pink) and she said she didn't want to talk about it really - undergarments. Then they said, the Wimbledon rule about white clothing, were you asked to change your bra because it was pink. And I think she said, yes, but didn't want to talk about it - you can talk about it with your friends if you want but talking about undergarments is weird. The whole situation is awful - because it was like reporters were trying to ask her anything but what is going on with the accident. Then someone asked her about emotions or something and how she felt, and she kind of lost it and had to leave. It's not like she can really comment on anything at this point because it will be a court case - it's just awful all the way around.

^^^^^This. I watch a News Program that talks about how he is the most mistreated President. It makes me LAUGH. He doesn't need to give us this much material over social media. He's an Idiot and I can't HELP IF I JUDGE HIM FOR WHAT HE SAYS IMMEDIATELY! Guess what you idiots - about 40 years ago - it took another day for a President's thoughts to get out in the public. Now he has a fast finger with Twitter. He's an Idiot. And you try to find reasons why he's not an idiot. But he is. If you don't want us to disparage him - tell him to get the hell off of social media. But his mantra was ANY publicity is GOOD. So that's why he acts an ass. And is TRULY STUPID. It pays in this country - to act as a Leader and then be totally STUPID. It pays to be that person. And - you wanted a CEO for President - you got it. They love Golf and doing nothing.
