Saturday in the Park

Off to Balboa Park for some R & R. The Pads resign Giles as a nice move by the hated GM Towers. Hot rumor is AHTOWERS is planning on moving Peavy this week. Collegiate football is as good as it gets. Pac 10 should be real exciting today. In the MWC look for BYU to put up historic numbers at home against the Aztecs. Not much more from here. Enjoy your day in the sun.

Pads and then some

Jake Peavy is closer to being the gift of some deserving affordable team. The Pads have let it be known that they are no longer able to stay in the upper echelon of MLB. Their horrendous GM Towers has bared the team's soul to get what he can out of Peavy. It is an extremely sad time around the Gaslamp as the once proud Padres gravel in the muck that he is creating. One of the highlights of this squad was to watch Jake pitch every 5th game. I say if the Pads stay with Towers, good luck to Jake and get to someplace that has a future. I really don't want to give up my season tix, but I can't go there and be frustrated. Sad. SDS's football team may very soon have no Qualcomm to play at because they are so bad nobody goes to their games any more. Take a big hint Padres! Good luck to the Dux and Beavs this weekend!

The Pix

Here goes: 1. BYU over SDS, oh come on 2. Oregon over Stanford, closer than you think 3. OSU over UCLA, in the last 2 minutes 4. USC over Cal, hate Tedford and hope it's a blowout 5. TTech over Okla St, game of the week 6. Florida over Vandy, always pick the Gators 7. UNLV over New Mexico, mighty Rebels 8. Chargers over the Chiefs, big 9. Broncos over the Browns, a vote aginst ND 10. Cardinals over the 49ers, think this could happen a year ago? The Pads are dropping their load from $72 mil to $40...OMG!

Change

I could not be happier with this country as I am now. The best man won, regardless of color. Time to get the USA back in shape. Now what will happen to the stock market? How about the Iraq thing? Nothing much on the Pads today. Matty V will become the voice of MLB a real step up and will be sorely missed around here. Just a tip of the iceberg with the breakdown of this team. Peavy, Hoffman, Greene,...soon to be gone. Time to just bask in the glory.

Election Day

I have to admit it is exciting to know we will have something to look forward to after today's election. Either candidate will be a tremendous improvement to what's in office right now. I still believe a 9+ win for Obama...but it is politics. More Pads. Khalil Greene is on the trading block. There is a surprise. He is coming off his worst year and then broke his hand in desperation. Who wants him? There is a small flock of needy teams out there including the Orioles, Reds, and the Tigers. Moving on to the Peavy gift. Jake has agreed to go to the Yankees if there is a sufficient deal. Watch out for the Red Sox...I am feeling there is something brewing. And now another dismantling of the Pads, their TV voice, Matt Vasgersian, is off to another gig. You may remember him as one of the voices on the past Olympic's broadcast. He is outstanding! Not sure where he is going but I'm sure it is up. And now officiating. In the greater San Diego area, high school officials are consi...

The Day Before

As I see it... Obama by 9+ points tomorrow. Make sure you vote. 8 out of 10 pix this weekend for my best one so far. The Colts beating the Pats my other miss. Really a boring game. According to Cris Collingsworth the NFL season doesn't start 'til November. That's good news for the Bengals, Browns, Raiders, and Bolts. Really there is but one dominant team so far...the Giants. The clown Towers is still publicly shopping Peavy...get rid of Towers! The NFL really wants a team in London. Imagine that trip! Let's see who would be replaced there? The Raiders have moved around, as have the Rams, the Colts, the Cardinals...but it has to be the Seahawks. All the professional leagues want to abandon that city. It could be the London Fleehawks. SDS travels to BYU for the next Aztec massacre. Not much more to say on that. And now for the biggest debacle in collegiate sports. Division 1 football that has no playoff! All other divisions have playoffs. And those guys go t...

Sunday "the Results"

6 out of 7 collegiate pix this time around. I was hoping on the Dux at Cal, but new better. The Webfoot QB was terrible, as they should have won. The Cal coach, Tedford, is a jerk and must be scrambling to keep his job. The way he treated his players is deplorable. On the other hand, the Beavs in a close one over ASU. They had to have that one. Oklahoma looks to be the best team in the land... Now to the NFL...at least don't have to worry about the Bolts today. The Lakers roll on as Kobe continues on as the best hoopster in the NBA.
