Classic Padres


Is it deja vu all over again?...the classic response to failure in the San Diego Padre system...the BLAME GAME!...over the past 15 seasons, that the Horse has followed the franchise...when the wins become harder and harder to get...the axe has fallen on the coaches, not the manager, nor the GM...usually the first to go is the hitting coach...OMG!...however, this time around, it is the pitching coach...'a new voice needs to be heard'....I have repeatedly said this, that the coaches can only work with what they have been saddled with...thrice, this GM has changed direction in how he has put players on the field...BUT, listen kids...the latest scheme is to put offensive guys out there...OK, at the expense of having quality pitchers...somehow, the brass thinks that changing pitching coaches is gonna make them pitch better?...bah humbug...you KNOW where I am going with this...this GM has had ample time to do his thing...it has not worked...and it is time for HIM to go...

At the very worst time possible, the Bums come to town...riding a 9 game win streak...we have been losing...we have had a closed door players meeting...(how'd that work?)...we have pitchers that are either ineffective, or injured...fired the pitching coach...and yet, somehow, expect a turnaround by the guys left...to make matters even worse, the Bums bring a huge contingency of fans...that make Petco seem blue, all over again...

I'm a sport guy today...the PGA playoffs continued in NY...as the nice guy, Tony Finau, won the Northern Trust...in OT, as the opponent hit his tee shot OB...on the first hole...it's been 5 years since Tony has won...and I have written about this a year or so ago...that he has actually made more scratch than the Shark  (Greg Norman) did on tour....the $ has escalated, my good friends...

After MY round yesterday, I passed on having a brewskie...got cleaned up and was about to head on home...when the Lexus wouldn't start...not the battery...like it wasn't getting fuel...lord...try as I may, figured that a towing was imminent...however, beneath where the keys go in, there is a button...that says '2nd start'...never touched the bloody thing...did not know what it was for...now, I know...I tried it...VOILA!...the rig came to life...and today, we take it to the Lexus Dr. to get it all checked out...

Phenomenal amounts of people getting flown out of Kabul yesterday...we are trying...

This is like a pandemic issue...cuz we are staying home and cooking...rather than going out...our thoughts go out to fixing new stuff...any ideas that you have that are fun to cook and eat?...

Gonna leave you with this...on my phone I use the panorama choice once in a while...this is the city...

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...
