It's Time

It's time to make some moves with the Padres. Reeling and certainly not rocking should lead the new owners to make some major changes to this hapless group. I have seldom felt that changing a manager is the cure to fixing a broken down team...but in this case I say yes. Bud Black does not have the make up to shake up this mess of a MLB team...I'm relatively sure he is a nice guy, but this team needs drive...an ornery one who demands proper play. And that is not the only change...
The Kouzmanoff experiment is a bust. It's time to move Chase Headley to 3B and release Kouz...there will be no takers for him. He has shown that he is not a 3-6 position type hitter in this league, ie. hitting with players on, and his abysmal 1 HR and 8 RBI's so far this season represents such a conjecture.
Trade Brian Giles. There are those out there that would take on his salary and his potential. Even though he is struggling this year he will turn it around...get something for him now...preferably a pitcher...
Bring up Kyle Blanks. Move him to LF and have him learn on the fly...fact is he led the Pads in the spring and continues to hit in the minors...he would be a perfect cover for AGonzo and would add a huge lift to an anemic hitting attack...
Put Jodi Gerut in full time in CF and move Hairston to RF and stay with it! Hairston is bashing the ball and deserves the move...
Now for the pitching...have to find a set-up guy...in Meredith we are not there...maybe Adams is on the mend enough to take that spot over...
With the economy on the rebound, where corrections are being made, with the change of administration, with the change of personnel...the country's needs are being addressed...so can the Padres mirror the same model...
If it is done, the people will return...

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......

Playing With Fire

'Don't play with me, 'Cause you're playing with fire...' . ... yea, well, this is another of The Rolling Stones songs...written by Nanker Phelge ...which is a pseudonym, that the Stones used...for themselves...as per usual, this group has grown on the Horse so much...even tho, often I can't understand a blipping word coming out of Mick's mouth...ha ha...it's the melody and beat, kids... Fire, is really what I am referring to...the latest in ungodly posts by trump...where he is sending out hidden messages to his followers ...and this one, is the worst of all...TIME... he calls it the 'UNIFIED REICH'. .. you do know his passion for the way Hitler, overwhelmed the German people prior to the WWII...that he started...the Third Reich...some might say, that this was an oversight...nope, the way of trump, is NOT MISSING the SIGNS ... WAKE UP, AMERICANS! ... too many of you, are just sitting on your hands...that's exactly what Germany did, a century ...
