Throwback Thursday (of the Pads)

Image
The rise and fall of the...Padres...again...deja vu ...regardless of who is at the helm...in recent times, there is but one thing in common...the GM...not the manager, not the coaches, not even the players...the GM...not that there hasn't been some good moves...but, the essence of the game of baseball is pitching...stock your draft picks with young hurlers...then, trade for pitchers, as teams are declaring 'fire sales'...starters, relievers, and closers...right now...in the eyes of many, the better season of the San Diego Padres franchise...we have the worst pitching staff of any contenders in the league...perhaps, in all of beisbol...the credit for that goes directly to... the GM...AJ Preller ...pretty obvious what the change should be...not the manager, not the coaches, but the inventory 'guru' of the team...time for a new direction, kids...pay close attention to the owners...it is imperative... Enough of my soap box on the Friars...just so disappointing... I keep...

Truth or Not?

In reference to the blog post yesterday, there was a banter coming from the defendants...that there wasn't a whip used in the corralling of the Haitians in Texas...OK, I am not sure by the pix...but, it may not be a bull whip...but, the people were getting HIT by a whippy type of device that would sting if tagged...I guess, the motto is 'whatever it takes'...sort of what is going on in Afghanistan, where people are getting 'whipped' by the Taliban in the streets...do the forevers deny this, too?...right, that would be the Demos fault, for pulling our forces out of the country...regardless of what the weapon is, it is wrong...to hear that is 'all bull _shit' is completely wrong...we are so far apart, it is disgusting... The Gabby tragedy...the body found in Wyoming is indeed hers...and the coroner has deemed it a homicide...no other details at this point...and an all out manhunt for the fiance is on... The Boz concert was smashing...he and the crowd were a bu...

A Whip?!

  I don't think I have seen such a disgusting sight, as the border patrol in Texas ...use  a WHIP  to move the people at the border...what century are we in?...how is this allowed?...anywhere?...as I have said much too often, we the people, apparently, do not take life as precious as we should...is this a directive from somebody?...what gives?...damn... A whip in the Congress? ...you know what I am talking about?...what a beaut of a job...responsible for a party to get the rest of the dudes and dudettes in line...follow us, as I say...well, as the whip says...imagine being the whip for trump's clan...oops, bad choice of words... Today we have  the Boz ...and a breakfast at the beach, and then...the awesome convertible tour of the city via Beetlejuice...rest up, then head on over to Humphreys...sounds like fun?...yes, it shall be... The Gabby thing  is a mystery...at the mercy of the public, to what level of concern this is...trying to find the fiance...and if th...

The Fall

I suppose one could see the blog title of the day, and take that a few ways...perhaps, negative...naw... I'm talking the season ... it is noticeably cooler here in south SoCal ...and I lurve it...windows open at nite, with the cool fresh air blowing on us...speaking of US...this is our 47th Wedding Anniversary! ...yea, go figure... I am the luckiest guy there is ...as I jokingly ask others, 'is that consecutive?'...yup, it is... We celebrate with an Eddie V's evening ...with our PNW super senior citizen accompanying us, Snooki ...who is flying in for the Boz Concert, which is tomorrow eve at Humphreys. ..I guess after 47, it doesn't necessarily mean quiet, alone time...ha ha...besides, we have 5 new bourbons to give the taste test to. ..Marsh doesn't like the stuff, so she will be the guest moderator, you know, like the dudes and dudettes for Jeopardy...blind tastes... he just sent his song for the day , and how apropos it is 'Come Fly With Me' by Frank...

Weird and Wack

Let's just start with the forevers in DC ...fizzled out and man, I saw nothing on it...the impact just may be gone, kids...donny, are you watching?...your time is up, dude...find a building to erect...bye bye... The 2nd game of the Padres in Saint Looey ...had it in hand, at 2-0...and of course, we have no relief pitching and blew this one...even worse, and telling, was the shouting match between our two best players...Manny and Jr...which officially marks the end of this season...time for the pink slips...AJ and Tingler the top of the list...bye bye... The Ducks in a brutally weird and wack game over Stony Brook!...who, BTW, held their own for a 1/2...not sure if we were resting some of our blokes...but, the halftime speech just had to be a doozy...and for sure, x-rated...turned out 48-7...the Vegas boys had it at 40 1/2...weird?... The Beavs whupped Idaho 42-0...good good win... SDSU upset Utah in 3 OT's...did not see that happening... Fresno St did the same to UCLA, whic...
