Awkward

-
It's the last day of the trading season in MLB...and none more awkward than Ubaldo Jimenez...that same guy we saw when we were eating at Aqua Al2 the other night...as he was warming up to pitch against the Friars last night, there was a hot rumor that he was to be traded to Cleveland....and the deal was imminent...he starts the game and is in a funk...walks 4 guys and gives up 4 runs in the 1st inning...gets pulled...starts hugging his now, former Colorado teammates, and departs...yup, to Cleveland...of course, the deficit he left, was to be overcome by the Rockies against the defenseless Padres...GG, this is an awful team...and irony of sorts...the big hit he gave up was to Ryan Ludwig (actually Ludwick), who also is rumored to be going to Cleveland...his probable new teammate...we can hope...
And the Heath Bell debacle...geez, it's been out there that he was going to the Rangers, Phillies, Red Sox, Cards, and now the Yankees...article in the Trib seems to say, that he will finish the season at SD...and then go commando and get a bunch more than we think...and the Pads get a draft pick...???
And the final thought...there will be a rash amount of movement by the Pads this morning...and 4 of 'em are going...I think this is a possibility...Ludwick, Bell, Harang, and Qualls...and the Pads as we know it will be restructured...OK, it's your turn, play station GM...

The debt ceiling...it's an indicator of how futile and ridiculous group of money hungry congress people we have in office work, or don't...is that a sentence?  Subject, verb, adverb, noun...OMG, I forget all the parts...Gilman, help me out!

Now that the NFL is back in business, try to follow the plight of the Bolts...they are making moves, but all are in a giveaway mode...who's coming here?  Nobody thus far....and with that I say...have a tighten up Sunday...

Update...this is what happened...Mike Adams, the guy who was told by the management he wasn't going anywhere....was traded to the Rangers for 2 minor league pitchers....and Ryan Ludwick, was traded to Pittsburgh for the proverbial player to be named later, or a six pack...and Heath Bell?  Still a Pad...and SD scored 8 and won...go figure...

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 ...
