Bar Bush closing time.
He’s recording the greeting on the voicemail for Broadcaster Heaven now.
If I recall correctly, Greer used his jumper to shoot free throws.
Barbara Bush is gone.
Darn, I didn’t see post 641.
Suddenly the Grim Reaper is getting busy. Not for my picks but ------------
I thought some low hanging fruit had finally hit the ground for me but I backed the wrong Bush.
Pro wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino taps out at 82.
Be optimistic: when a person of 7 points loses a spouse of over 7 decades, it can be devastating. You have eight weeks to catch those points, before he drops to 6.

Well, she lived 92 years, and she hung on long enough to see her Astros win the World Series.
I wonder if she and George HW ever went to a game? ISTR that George HW threw out the first pitch at one of the games…? If memory serves.
Here’s a nice article about Barbara and the Astros. She liked to keep score!
Wow. A true fan! And she was rewarded by last year’s win. Many people don’t live long enough to see their team win the Series. Fortunately, she did. Good for her and George.

UK Game Show host Dale Winton has died, seemingly unexpectedly, though most likely from my own estimation an undisclosed illness.
Psst! See post #647
Just for anyone searching in the thread, the name is actually Carl Kasell.
Someone the Old Wench didn’t pick; at least this year. She loves picking her fellow Yinzers.
Astros, huh? ISTR her son owned part of a baseball team, but it was not the Astros.
I think he owned the TX Rangers.
As for the Astros, George HW and Barbara Bush have close ties to Houston.
