Padres

Remember when?  The closer was Trevor Hoffman...and in the latter part of his SD career, he lost most of his glamorous pitches...his fast ball was about the speed of his breakers...thus, he was pounded...alas, the Brewers liked what he still had, and signed him...and last season he had a resurgence...but this year, not so much...as age has finally caught up to him...he's like 40+...anyhoo, he actually got a close yesterday in St Louie....good on him, number 598...

The most non-talked about team in MLB...the San Diego Padres...won 9 of their last 10, leading the West by 6, the first NL team to win 70 games...and still...the major networks won't televise them...they will show the Dodgers and show the remorse of the demise of LA...horse crap...beat LA?  beaten down LA...ha ha...go for it, ESPN, go suck your Illinois eggs...

Ryan Mathews...the Bolt's running back...the real deal, kids....if you want a steal in your fantasy draft...get him...he's all purpose...I warned you...speaking of his college, Fresno St...they are joining the Mountain West, along with Nevada Reno...as...the BYU Mormons are seeking an independent way...at least in football...???  and why now?  Just seems strange to me...everything is BCS bull crap...I say, good riddance...by the way, the coaching staff at SDS is like all -stars...

That's it for this writer...Del Mar today or tomorrow...
