Let the games begin


Regardless of how you think they got here($), it has begun. I put my bracket in the national Around the Horn pool. I took anywhere up to 3 minutes filling it out and picked UNC as my champ. I know nothing. Is Billy Packer still on the tube. Not a fan.
The WBC final 4 is set. With my Japan upsetting Cuba (again), they qualify with Korea, USA and Venezuela as the possibles for the crown. I think both Korea and Japan are the favorites. The US of A has a severely depleted team to injuries (?) with the latest victim, 1b Kevin Youklis going down with a bum ankle...to me a very embarrassing set of circumstances for this country.
The Padres continue to get whacked in the Cactus league. Their pitching has been totally dismantled and it is very disconcerting. It is spring training, but only 4 wins is worrisome...Kyle Blanks is still lashing the ball and I have negative beliefs that the Pad's management are gonna screw this up...
One person hit the pick 6 at Santa Anita yesterday for...$657,949!!!
SDS continues it's hot streak on the diamond with another win over Kansas St. BYU brings it's group in this weekend and the fun continues...
My big picks for today: Gonzaga over Akron, W. Kentucky over Illinois, Texas over Minnesota, and Texas A & M over BYU...
Enjoy the sun...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
