Spring Training

Wooah, it's time for pitchers and catchers to report to...SPRING TRAINING!...yup, MLB is starting to crank it all up again...it's my fav time of the year...and yup, the Padres are full of optimism...yet again...well...not a lot of movement, other than the fences...with hope that the pitchers that had surgery can help by June...geez...and good lord...our catching issue...with Grandal out for 50 games due to the use of garbage...so we have the tandem of Baker (not bad) and Hundley, a disaster last season...I have my doubts...BUT...let's see what happens in Peoria and cross our fingers...

NBA...PDX led most of the way, yet got blitzed in the end in Miami...Kobe scored 4 points in a win at home...did not see the game, but I bet he was a ball of joy...and Utah won at home, hosting the Thunder...the only place they can win...but, boy do they there...must be the salt in the air...

Manhunt...as the media got it's fill...as he was spotted and it all came to an end...in Big Bear...final shoot out...and then he got fried...in a humongous cabin fire...a bad man...that needed to go...kind of glad that it didn't go to trial...is that wrong?...

Mardi Gras...it was a blast...the only prob was there was no parade...but there were impromptu ones...which was way cool...the dinner we had at Al Aqua 2 was great...our group had a great time...

MWC hoops...no place like home in this league...SDSU is at Colorado St...where they have a 30 something win streak going...really...it's like that...and these teams aren't that bad...as good as the Pac 12 for sure...but, I doubt that the NCAA selection committee sees it that way...

We are off to the desert for a mini-V...should be warm...upper 70's and all...sounds great, huh...

Sad to say that we had the passing of one of my old coaches, Roger Judd...absolutely a great guy, and had the best basketball mind of all the guys I have known...
