Bye Bye Bell

It's fantasy baseball at it's best...or worst...the MLB's version of it...as they trade away contracts to others...for the right pick to enhance a key piece in the race to the end, dump a high money player, select a blue chip wannabee...it's what the GM's live and get paid for...and now, a bunch of these guys are play station GM's...young guys in their early 30's...OK, you can see I'm not a fan...let's get to the Padres...the rumors have been out there for a couple of weeks now...the same names...Bell, Adams, Ludwig, and Harang...it was said they were going to wait until the Pads were out of the race...duh...done there...they seem to want to stockpile the blue chip wannabees...the Rangers are looking at Bell hard...Ludwig maybe to an eastern team...I'm going to be real honest here...he's over the hill...so if the Pads get a six pack it's a good deal...if Bell goes, Adams must stay...or vice versa....and Harang, well...
and the Giants...picking up Beltran for a blue chip wannabee...that's how it's done kids...but they have a base to do so...

OK, Congress people, earn your keep and settle this debt ceiling stuff...NOW...

And the NFL is in fast forward and I gots to admit it is real fun to watch...the Bolts are standing pat...just why does anyone want a broken down QB from the skins?

No hitter by the Angel's Santana...dominating stuff...

Instant replay in baseball...do it...what century is that sport in?

You'll love this...the Pads 2B, Orlando Hudson, catches a pop up and tosses it out of play...problem is that there was less than 2 outs...and the opponent scores a gift run...says he just lost count...he dropped a pop up earlier...says he closed his mitt too soon...he told a writer it's a tough game, if it were easy the writer would be playing...I can't make this up...
And now you know...respect me 'cuz I'm a pro and you are not...

If the golf gods would put the flags in the bunkers, I'd be a putting for birdie most every hole...

So you want to bet the ponies...a fellar hit the pick 6...for $1.1 million!  After taxes he took home a whopping $900,000 check...at Del Mar...yesterday...I still haven't gone and I am itching...

And they're off...
