What You Think


Well, those who know me knew this was going to come up...is it OK for teams and colleges to continue to use the Native American symbols as their name and mascot? As the Cleveland Indians (MLB) have used the "Indian" image since it's inception the argument of tradition is the ongoing reason...or the Washington Redskins (NFL) using the most descriptive of them all...or the North Dakota Fighting Sioux (NCAA) using the tribal symbol...or the Atlanta Braves (MLB) using the obvious...or the Florida St. Seminoles (NCAA)...well, here goes...being a Native American....my thoughts go to comparative representations of like...whites or blacks or Jews or Mormons or ...even worse...you wouldn't allow that so how is this allowed? In reality it probably was supposed to be a fighting nature of sorts...but you could make a case for a lot of garbage...so enough with the tradition crap and find another symbol that would be easier to swallow...get real people!

As I have been saying for over a year now...the GM of the Padres, Kevin Towers, has to go through a change in ownership and whether he weathers the storm is up in the air...my feeling is he did what was needed, but took him too long to make the adjustments...maybe with better direction he will thrive...

Remember, just remember...when the Dux got ripped by Boise and the TB popped the taunting Bronco? Sure you do...and Blount (the TB) got the boot for the season (sort of)...well, Orygun had him continue to practice throughout his suspended senior season...well...as I suggested...the rumor is he is coming out to play due to good behavior...

Be cool...

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
