NBA Playoffs

Finally...the way too long NBA regular season is coming to a close...and the playoffs begin on Saturday...and due to the lineups changes and all...well...I'm pulling against teams rather than for them...like the Heat and Knicks...boo...
but...I am in it to win it with the Blazers...hate the Mavs and it's a perfect 1st round match up...and, as I have been saying for some time...the Lakers will not get the crown...LA should beat New Orleans, but the PG situation will make it very interesting...the Thunder (Supersonics) and Nugget series will be fun...
So who do I pick?  from the East I have...the Bulls...from the West I have...the Spurs...oops, that's chalk...but...that's what I got...

And you think I'm kidding about the anemic Pads?  They did pull out a win last eve to salvage one against the Reds...but catch these awesome numbers...
the new GM's pickups in the last year and a half...
Cantu...one of AG's replacements...hitting .160
Hawpe...the other AG one...hitting .138 with ONE rbi...
Hudson...took over for Xstein...batting.317...this be the good one...
Maybin...took over for Gwynn (.296 for LA)...at .243...even steven...
Bartlett...took over for Tejada (.244 for SF)...at .129...well...
and Ludwick...my oh my...at .114...this is the clean up hitter?

Off to Houston...maybe the heat will help...

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...
