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...

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
