Toughen Up

The last 2 games of the Pads were way too similar...big leads going into the 9th...and we blew 'em...luckily last night we had a 5 point cushion...here's the deal...our closer is on the disabled list...so we have been using our setup pitcher as THE GUY...well, he didn't have it on Sunday...and last night we went with a former starter...and he got lit up bad...4 straight smashes...and 3 runs given up...here's my beef...Mgr Buddy Black stayed with him way, way , way too long...after the 2nd batter he should have been replaced...that's what the Giant's Bochy would have done....and quite frankly, most of the good ones would have done...if you lose, do it doing the right way...

On the other hand, we ARE SCORING RUNS!...and are putting ourselves in position to be a better than average team...yup, it is true...Logan Forsythe came back up due to the injury to Gyorko...had a great game, including a massive HR...shoot we scored 7 runs...and...once we have all our parts back we should be in contention...we have one spot I'm still worried about...our 5th starter...if Luebke can come back...problem solved...of course, we have to be managed correctly, too....

Fast and Loud...I have told you about this show...where these two blokes out of Dallas run a fix it up car shop...I like it a lot...and...they left us last season with a teaser...duh...when they bought a Maserati for $400,000...that was all crashed up...and the first episode is guiding us through the painful rehab of the car...it will cost around another $300,000 to get it fixed right...what?...who has that kind of $?...and that's the deal, Gas Monkey doesn't...fix it and it cost them $700,000!   and try to make a profit?...

The Bachelorette...dude, don't cry...it is only the 3rd or 4th episode...you can't be that much in love to cry after being kicked off the island...c'mon dude...NOOOOO....

We did a Julian jaunt yesterday...what a wonderful trip back into time...it is up in the mountains...takes us about an hour and a half...when it snows in the San Diego area...this is where is does...believe it or not...and it does every winter...really...they actually have seasons up there...and they are known for their pies...apple ones...so, we bought one of them and a cherry one to boot...going to take them to SB this weekend...

A Big Beaver week...as they won to get into the College World Series...this is what they do well at...this baseball stuff...and one of their former football guys keeps getting himself into it...Ochcinco was in court...trying to work a plea deal...patted his attorney on the rear, like a football move...and the judge hit the roof...threw out the plea and threw him into the pokey for 30...sorry I gave more lines to that, rather than the baseball...

Tiger and Sergio shook hands yesterday on the range...bury the bone?...naw, it was cursory and uncomfortable...the Open starts Thursday at Merion...huge amounts of rain...expect better than average scores...whatever that means...

What the Belichek is going on?...I mean c'mon...the mostly untouchable Tebow is reportedly in tow with New England...what?...I thought he couldn't play in the league...so why?...

The Spurs are FAVORED over the Heat for tonight's game...what?...
The Pads are dogs again...with Cashner going...

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.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
