OUT

Image
With a bang?...the player named in the PEDS case from Florida...from the Pads ... Everth Cabrera ...I have given you the poop on this for some time....and he had a huge game last eve in the 1st game with the Yankees ... 4 hits and the one out he made, was hit so hard ...it banged off the pitcher's leg...caromed off to the 3rd baseman...and was thrown out...oh yea, the Pads won easily... 7-2 ... 3 dingers by Forsythe, Gyorko (yes!) and Venable ...strong pitching by Cashner and the pen ...big win...sold out crowd...did not know that this was the 1st time that NY has been at Petco...and Cabrera may be shut down on Monday for the rest of the season...the game today is at 5:30... The British Open ...it is so windy there that they have to delay it for the 3rd round... Morgan is 2 strokes back...and we are waiting for the round to start... Paula , is close, too... Inbee? ...probably too far back... Tiger! ...oh my...at Firestone in Ohio ...where he has great success....well, I g...

Pick?

Image
The mythical number one pick status in the NBA...the "future star"... the PDX Blazers had such a thing back a bit...and took the C from Ohio St, Greg Oden ...a popular choice...in lieu of the skinny kid out of Texas, Kevin Durant ...and the rest is history...as the big guy had bad feet...still does...and has been rehabbing ever since...no longer a Blazer...and is a free agent...and now...will pick the team he will go to... rumor has it, it may be the Heat ...who could GAMBLE on him...hey, when the very big humans, develop bad feet, they are done...I'm just saying... Today the MLB will announce the group of 8 or 9 guys that will be suspended for 50 games...which may include Everth Cabrera ...which the club has been very kind to him in this process...like no big deal..."Cabbie" has had a great season...the SD All Star even...odd stuff... The Yankees are in the house...and will bring countless fake fans...from the area...wear their NY caps and all...how ...

MEET

Your new Padre ...traded from the DBacks to us... Ian Kennedy ...strong starting pitcher, who but two short seasons ago had 20 wins...yup...it's a steal... the bloke who we messed with was the Arizona GM Kevin Towers ...who has the rep as the biggest ego in the field...he had to have wanted our Lefty Reliever, Joe Thatcher ...for his run to the pennant...cool for us...as the Bums are distancing themselves from the DBacks...and we will get closer...er, I hope we do.... as Kennedy will help us BIG TIME! The instant media sensation ...like everywhere you go...what you say...what you wear...whom your with...what you drink...when you arrive....when you depart...it's all on Twitter....or...some cell phone...or some paparazzi...so, if you are kinda famous...then you are subject to the ultimate eves dropping...the latest?... wide receiver from the Eagles ...who was at a Kenny Chesney Concert....already this is too much info...and he popped off on the security guy...racial stuff...a...

Trades

Image
It's the final 1/2 day of trades for MLB ...so far, no movement for the Pads ...which is kind of their mantra...eery thing last night, as LF Carlos Quintin was pulled in the middle of the game...and 3B Chase Headley wasn't even in the lineup, and RP Gregerson was not used in his 8th inning...all signs that there were probable trades in the works...so far, nuttin... The game...another Pads win!...as the latter part of the lineup came through and voila!... a W! ... Gyorko and Hundley were the combatants...both needed 'em...and we gain a game on the Rockies...our P Volquez , was his usual bewildering self...this game he was on...today's game is at mid day...and we are going for a surprise sweep...this crazy game...and the Yankees roll in next...it always kills me to see the number of NY fans that come out of the woodwork...they are certainly not all New Yawkers....kind of mixed emotions... as I want them to lose...to the Bums...but I want the Bums to lose, too....

Replay

Image
I am not saying that the umpires are bad in baseball ...far from it...it's the only game that they make a call  on every single play...whether its balls or strikes, safe or out, fair or foul...every pitch... so there must be mistakes...arguing the strike zone?...it is what it is...but, fair or foul, safe or out...it can be set up for replay... give the managers a couple of challenges .. .it''ll stop all the debacle of managers running out on the field and screaming at blue ...the latest item...in the American East...where the Red Sox lost out on a blown call at the plate in the 8th...later on, the ump admitted he blew the call...see, this could have been eliminated...the league is so worried about PEDS, that they are missing out on another part of the game that they CAN CONTROL!... A pitchers dual out at Petco ...Reds versus the Pads ...Cincy had the upper hand after scoring a run early on....and that was the score heading to the bottom of the 9th... with the 100 m...

PEDS

Image
Performance Enhancers ....it is to be "the thing" in the next few days... expect Arod, and others ...to be named and banned for an extended time...will the list include the Pad's SS Everth Cabrera? ... everything I read says yes ...here's the deal...this sport is just the tip of the iceberg...as other ones will do the same...it'll just take time...odd, as baseball is the last to use the availability of the instant replay...but the 1st to deal with the PEDS ...I keep listening to the pundits go crazy on the issue...there is just one way to look at it... The follow up to Hunter Mahan? ...they had a little, baby girl...wait, it has to be little, right?...anyway, all reports that the baby and mother are doing fine...good news...who then won the T?... the million dollar winner?...Brandt Snedeker ...who was on fire...shouldn't the Mahans call her "Millie?" ...ha ha... The Pads finished a very fine road trip...that which I saw NOT happening...6-4....

What Would U Do?

So I am integrating the texting style to my writing... LOL...and WTF ...oops, not so good...anyway...yesterday an interesting thing happened on the PGA Tour ...at first, I was dreading the worst...as I heard that the leader after 2 rounds in the Canadian Open pulled out...now, this is not crazy like the first time it's happened...but...we are talking a million dollar payout for the winner...no laughing matter...no LOL.... as he was in his practice session prior to round 3, he got a call that his wife was going into labor...3 weeks early...he dropped what he was doing...meaning the golf T and bolted back to Texas to be with his wife ...WTF?... would you have done this? ...or expected to have your mate do this?.... Hunter Mahan ... Eegads, the game of baseball ....who can figure it out...as bad as we were on Friday, we were gang busters on Saturday...scoring an unheard of 12 runs in a W at Arizona...and, much needed...our pitcher, Cashner, even hit his 1st MLB dinger ...and then...
