All Star Switcheroos

Geez, is that even a word?...switcheroos?...there are two All Star games that have the most prestigious qualities to them...in the NBA and MLB...fuggit about the NFL...it's after the season...these are in the middle, sort of...however...there is an alarming number of replacements in the game...talking beisbol, kids...

Outside of the unforeseen injuries, the timing of when the All Star pitchers pitch...is paramount to whether these chuckers can actually play in the game...thus, a gaggle of players are shelved...take the case of the elite dude, the Giant's P Madison Bumgarner...MadBum...he is throwing too close to the classic, thus, he is out...

Hmmm...cuz of the importance of winning this bloody game, I think that the Giants may be making a mistake...the winning league gets the home field advantage for the World Series...crazy as that is...it's probably more important to win this, than any single regular season fray...use MadBum for 3 innings in the AS game, knowing he is virtually unhittable...there is a greater chance for a win...and in the end, a big plus for the Nationals...well, the Americans, too...you see where I'm going with this...

And...have you seen the jerseys for the game?...either you will lurve or hate them...there will be no middle ground...they certainly are unique...BTW, heard one of the beat writers of the league boast, that the game should always be in San Diego...that there was more excitement here than any other place that has held it....people everywhere...I will give you that...

NBA...the switcheroo that Kevin Durant did, coming to the Alameda Warriors...left a lot of skepticism on the move...as there just may be not enough basketballs for that team to gel...ha ha...c'mon dudes, it's a looooong season...should give the big 4 more rest time...and still have the higher level of play...I will give you that the money cap, caused the rest of the squad to be depleted and traded, er, let go...that could be their problem, if they have one...but, look at the champion Cavs...how many of them played in the champ series?...I think the Warriors are going to be just fine...do NOT worry about them...

Don't get me wrong about this...but, when a group of folk get together and talk politics...er, issues...he who talks the loudest is not always right...maybe not even close...it may be better to sit back and listen...hint hint hint...

The more I read about the Dallas killer, I'm not sure there were enough signs to stop him...he was going to pop...just a sad commentary on life and the...life of a rapid fire gun...that some people say that it is a right for all to have in their possession...hmmm...just look at the number of shootings in the USA this past week...I rest my case...so disappointing...

Hope YOUR weather is what you like...and get out and enjoy it...
