Motivational Monday

In the world of business, great success does not come over right. It takes a long time to become familiar with your audience and to prove to the consumers that you have a good product. I knew when I started that this business would take 5-6 years to take off. Nothing happens over night. The problem people have is they want instant results and there’s no possible way of that happening. People give up after months or a year and complain that what they’ve done doesn’t work. The are whiners and they moan to everyone and flat out give up. 

Before you create a start up business, remember it takes much, much lower than you originally think. 

Weekend Recap! London gets attacked/Pujols hits 600th HR/Volquez throws No Hitter

by | Jun 5, 2017 | Sniper Rants

Sad news again in London this past weekend. 3 fuckers decided to run their van into a crowd of people, then flee and stabbed a bunch of people. Fucking terrorism man. These bastards are willing to give their lives up in order to kill innocent people. The death toll is roughly 6-8 now and many more injured. If it’s not a gun or bomb,it’s now stabbing people. Terrorism seems to be at it’s highest as these disgusting acts of violence are happening more frequently. Whether it’s on US soil or another place, it needs to stop and I don’t think anyone has the answer on how to stop it. A filthy act of terrorism overshadows 2 great accomplishments. #PrayforLondon

 

Now, on to some more positive news. Albert Pujols jacked his 600th Homerun Saturday night. This dude gets over shadowed all the time as people think he’s washed up and old. He’s still chipping away and just entered elite company by hitting his 600th. One thing to factor in, is Pujols was never brought up on steroids so this accomplishment is as legit as they come. Good for him. He deserves it. He’s been through a lot in his career by battling foot problems and he’s still hitting bombs. Guess what? He’s not done yet. I think he’s got a few more years in the tank. Plus, he’s 124 hits away from 3,000. Check your ballot for FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER. Congrats Albert. Well done. 

What a weekend for the Marlins and Edison Volquez. Listen, lets’s be honest here. The Marlins don’t have much going for them this year. They are 10.5 games behind Washington and it’s not even the All-Star break yet. Besides Stanton, they have a few quality ball players, but not much after that. I have a good buddy who goes to many Marlins games as he lives in Miami and shows me pictures of an empty stadium almost every night. No one goes. I don’t think they sniffed 18,00 for attendance even once this year. 

So Volquez dropped this line. 9 innings pitched, 0 hits, 10 k’s and two walks. A gem of a game. This no hitter thrown is more important to the Marlins and the community than most people think. This was a way to honor and celebrate Jose Fernandez. Jose was their ace. He was dominant. This performance by Volquez reminded the Marlins and community of Jose. This was a “let’s bring our spirits up” kind of game. Excellent job by Edinson and I’m happy for Marlins fans. Hopefully, by this performance, it will bring more people to watch their games. Phenomenal weekend for the city of Miami. 

Bobble of the Day “Bryce Harper” Gobblehead

by | Jun 1, 2017 | Bobble of the Day

Bobble of the Day

Player: Bryce Harper (Gobblehead)

Team: Potomac Nationals 

Year: 2017

Manufacturer: Success Promotions 

So this is a hit or miss kind of bobblehead for 2 reasons. One, it’s of a phenom baseball player. Two, Bryce Harper is dressed up as a turkey for god’s sake. It’s weird in many ways but at the same time, unique enough to be considered a legit collector’s item. 

The overall theme is obviously based on Thanksgiving. Harper has colorful feathers on his back and a big ole turkey leg around his waist. He’s got the yellow turkey feet standing on top of the base. I do like the top hat he’s wearing as it adds some charm to the theme of the bobble.

 

 

Sniper Rating: A weird time of year for the Potomac Nationals to be giving this one out. Why not wait until September when it’s the start of the Fall season? Anyway, I’m still up in the air on this one. I do like that the manufacturer at least put a bat in his hand to give it a baseball feel.

Given the fact that Harper’s got funny feathers, turkey legs/arms, and the fact that this is a Thanksgiving themed bobble in mid May, Bryce Harper as the “Gobblehead” scores a 6.0.
