Brain Trust

Bear (bare?) with me for just a moment...I must rant on the lack of BRAIN TRUST by the management of the Padres...in last eve's loss to the visiting Twins...the setup...we are going against the worst starting pitcher in the league (really, stat wise)...and go 4 innings hitless...yup, hitless...finally get going in the 5th and go ahead 3-2...none of that is attributed to my concerns...with the game tied in the 7th, is where I'm going...we get our first two guys on...and up steps our switch hitting C Grandal...Mgr Black subs R Maybin for him...what?...the Twins go with a sub righty pitcher...if we would have left Grandal there, and we were going to bunt regardless, it made NO DIFFERENCE what the Twins did...he's a switch hitter!...Maybin looks foolish and can't get a bunt down...we then sub in RIGHTY Hundley...who poops (pops) out...and then Deno, fresh from 3 straight K's...poops (pops) out...end of rally and end of inning....one more ugh...in the 8th, their C Suziki, hits a ball that may or may not be a HR off the top of the wall, where out LF Smith tried like the dickens to catch it...anway...the ball bounds back into the field of play...no signal for a HR, and Suzuki rounds the bases and tries to get an in the park one...Smith DOES not go after the ball, and after a brief pause, CF Venable, goes over and gets the ball and chucks it home...where, the newly subbed C Hundley, promptly misses the throw...send in the clowns...wait, it was done...I digress...

OK, I am trying not to dwell on this type of crap...but when it's thrown in our faces, I have to mention it...normally the Trib doesn't talk about this inept play...not this time...as the writer had his field day on the lack of proper management...yes, you could hear boos...not so good, when it's the home crowd turning....do not have blind faith kids...let's do this right...

Other, much more important stuff...

The corruption in the VA Hospitals...as the Prez is addressing it...brings to mind a big topic that is so important for the guys and gals who have been protecting us forever...it must be corrected and cleaned up...

DWTS...Max and the Oly win...just don't know how you can compare them to Derek and the no-leg gal...two totally different things in my mind...and both deserving...if there was any time for a tie, this was it...

Idol...easily the top two of this season...and if history proves itself out...the southern guy will win it...he is deserving...they both have qualities...can either one of them make it in the real world as a singer?...tough Q...the other singing competitions, the answer is NO...Idol gives you the best possible springboard...

And now...we are leaning against the Sleep Number one...just so confusing...the important thing is to get an adjustable bed...and there are 3 major makers of the mechanism...the problem is what goes on top of it...getting the right mattress combo...hmmm...

This from the goofy stuff...in AAA beisbol, the Albuquerque Isotopes (Dodger farm)...as the C of the team got real mad at his infielders...as the opponents were stealing bases like crazy...and not covering the bases...and he couldn't throw the ball...he erupted and got in an inner team brawl...and he bit one of the inf in the ear...well, if that were the case, most of our Pad's guys would be earless....

And NOW, you are in the know...5/21/14...

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...
