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...

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...

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.....

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...
