All Star Break

Where do I begin on this...first of all, the trade to let Adrian Gonzalez go...well, he has become the best hitter in baseball...now that he has the center stage in Boston...look at his stats...leading the AL by 20 points...surrounded by real sluggers, to boot...which he was not in San Diego...and what did the Pads get for him?  Youngsters, real youngsters...not a good trade...especially that SD needs pop now, NOW!  A GM blunder...
In all of sport the confidence factor is so huge...and the SD boyz are lacking in this...being shut out on a regular basis, with no one guy that can come up with clutch hits...what happened?  Last year, of course, they had AGonzo, but the little guy, David Eckstein, had many such clutch hits...where does that come from now?   Fact is, it isn't there...
So what?  It will be a fire sale prior to the July 31st deadline...I guess ML really goes by that date, unless your are Boston, NY, or Philly...look for Ludwig, Bell, Qualls, Venable, one of our pitchers...to go...and maybe more...hey, and where on earth is the GM's key pick up in Brad Hawpe?
OK, the one thing that should happen, is to let the rookie GM Hoyer, go...GO!...he has had his play station moment as the boss, and he has failed miserably...what a mess this team is...a real mess...

My thoughts about our trip to Cocoa Beach...we were so lucky to miss all the weather that the forecasters had on the net...it said every day that there was thunder and lightning...never happened...in fact everyday was 89* or 90*...and the rides of the boogie boarding were awesome...if you have never done it, you are missing out big time...the concierge asked me, "you were boarding?", like I'm old or something, I guess...the 4th fireworks and shuttle launch were fabulous...and we will go back next year...

You think that the tiny little country of Korea doesn't dominate the LPGA tour?  2 of the ladies are in a playoff for the Major in Denver...

Can you believe that major league baseball actually gives the home team advantage to the winner of the all star game?  What?

Have a great Monday!
