On The Move?

Bye Bye...
In this day and age of the movement of players...used to be once you were on a team, that was it...think about it...so much better for the athlete...monetarily...and the concept of "pride" is obviously fleeting...

It happens in pro sports all the time now...sign for 4 or 5 years...and include a buy out clause....that you can use to opt out of a contract...in lieu of the owners trading you away...this is a BIG DEAL!...

The latest to "reportedly" opt out?...the best hoopster in the world, LeBron James...too bad, so sad, Miami...and where is he off to?...speculation runs amok...

Better to pick your spot, than have to be traded to whomever the owners say...I like it...

The Padres...
In the aftermath of the firing of the GM...the team is left with a 3 headed one...there is a trading deadline of July 31st...and unlike the NBA, MLB's owners dominate the movement of players...way too many moving parts to put together than the basketball teams...

SD shelved their best P, Cashner...at least for a 15 day DL...brought up a Cuban, who has floundered in AA ball...and he pitched a gem...shutting out the division leading Giants...odd stuff...

Which leads me to what I have been saying for a while...there has to be blokes in the system as good as the under-producing guys we have been trotting out there all season...

Breeder's Cup...
It is to be announced today...that Del Mar is to get the thoroughbred's biggest set of races for the year...the BREEDERS'S CUP...2017...

A huge coup for the track and the region...just as soon as the tix come out...I am there...if you haven't yet...it is a marvelous place to watch and wager on the ponies....

Belmont Park...
Not THAT one, but the one at Mission Beach...it's way cool...has the last wooden roller coaster in the great USA...and all the things that are at a fair...you want it, they have it...

And, it's right on the beach...that was packed!...people everywhere...and we then had a walk on the beach...what a groovy spot, just a few minutes away from us...

Parks, in general...
I have never seen as many folks use their parks more than here...if there is one, it is inhabited...and I'm talking every type you can imagine...

Barbecues...family picnics...outings in general...

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...
