Minor Change

-

The Padres have lost the last 3 series and need a minor alteration in their lineup...they really can't do much to their pitching staff...but the hitters...Bud Black pulled Giles yesterday as he flounders trying to find his stroke...I say he needs to stay with him as he will hit...now, Kevin Kouzmanoff is another story...he is said to be a slow starter, well, even when he is "right" he's not a major force...he can't hit with runners on the bases...it's time to move Chase Headley to 3rd base, insert Scott Hairston to LF...just a minor change to make us more consistent...
It sure seems like the NBA playoffs have turned more dirty and aggressive since the announcers have been saying the players have been too soft on layups...they need more hard fouls is what they are saying...this hockey type of play is NOT what is needed...wait until somebody gets really hurt due to it...
There is a commentary today in the Tribune by Tim Sullivan actually endorsing the move of high school player to European Pro Ball...OMG, what on earth is wrong with this guy...there are youngins that can make a move like this, but it is the exception rather than the rule...I think this is very disturbing by a writer...
I have General Quarters in the Derby...

Tim Sullivan is an idiot. I don't care about the Padres or the Derby but I have grown to appreciate Bourbon. Yesterday you asked what people's favorite Italian song was. God there are so many to choose from... ah ,,,, ah....

Well I forgot some things. Interesting AI last nite. They voted off the right guy. Adam, bottom three, come on. I think they do that just to get more people to vote. Without looking on the net, who was the lead for Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes?
It was my sister's birthday yesterday and she had to Facebook me to remind me. I'm and asshole.

Who's buried in Grant's tomb. The original lead was Harold Melvin, then was replaced by others...I'm not sure who...you ask as if he's famous.
Nice call on the birthday...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
