Bad News Bears?

Oh my...what could or should have been...these San Diego Padres...which increasingly seem to be exactly like all of the other Buddy Black managed teams...an effort in futility...underperforming groups of blokes...who find ways of not scoring...and have more excuses of why they can't do the most fundamental thing of all of baseball...from Little League all the way up to MLB...BUNT!...the pitching staff has yet to convert one...count 'em NONE! ...not one successful bunt!!!...and this time around, a new dilemma...the pitching is not good...there's an article in the LA Times, asking what we all ask..."What's Wrong With The Padres?...and rather than beat around the bush, the author throws out stats...unlike what the Trib does...last in OF defense...sporadic starters for P...the top 3 on the staff lead different negative marks...ie, HR's given up, walks, and losses...the scenario is not a cheery one...

Excuses?...well now...the record of the team versus the division is very similar to that of the leaders, the Bums...but the teams that SD has faced outside, have been the better ones...with better than average records...LA has not had the task in front of them like that...they have played the lower bracket of squads...which means what?...a set of games versus the Dodgers begins today...let's just see where this leads...

Is there a shake up in order?...if you read a bunch of the experts out there...the thoughts are that there will be a change in the manager soon...if things don't move in the positive direction...I kind of thought that there would be after the dismal showing against the Cubbies...more of the same up north, and it appears to be inevitable...stay tuned...

NBA...

Nail biters in the west...as the Golden St Warriors did what they are supposed to do...win at home...note that SD...and are up 2-0 on the Rockets...and the set goes to Texas...these are good games...and I tell you, the Beard is tuff tuff tuff...wonder why GS doesn't double him more?...anyway, it's fun to watch...

In the east, it's the Cavs...and in a laugher...surprising me...just don't see the Hawks getting back into it...LeBron is way too dominant...a huge human being...and a very talented hoopster...and leads Cleveland to dominating play...

Hmmm...

Hillary has allowed her phone messages to be let out...and of course, the pundits are ravaging through 'em...there are tales out there now...and more to come...can't be good, huh...

How's the car hunting going?...pretty dang good...have settled on a car...the BMW 428i hard top convertible...and now?...need to take the Solara in for a quote...do NOT want to sell it by myself...will lease the rig...and it's all timing now...pretty amazing car...check it out online...

Watched the last Letterman Show...damn funny bloke...and a great show...so says me...

Have a cool weekend...

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...
