    Padres Road to the World Series

    Lol, can't blame SD fans for wishing Kershaw was out there. In his defense, in prior years, he was very often put out there on short rest and/or out of the bullpen when the Dodgers were completely out of other options. Generally, it didn't go well, nor would it have for most pitchers, even the...

    RIP Pete Rose

    I don't buy that at all. Was an FBI investigation (of the bookie) as well. It would have come out if Ohtani was a big gambler. Unless these two guys were some sort of criminal money laundering masterminds. Ippei is looking at serious time, he would have flipped on his boy if there was...

    RIP Pete Rose

    Damn, pretty harsh considering Ohtani was never the one doing the betting plus he got fleeced out of $15mm by an employee/friend. Glad you aren't the commissioner. I am assuming that you believe Ohtani was so smart that he was able to fool the FBI, State Attorney General and the MLB and hide...

    Padres Road to the World Series

    Yamamoto has electric stuff, there is not much doubt about that. I guess, in Japan, pitchers only make one start a week, and that was the workload he was accustomed to. Pitching here, on five days rest (instead of six) ended up putting him on the shelf for two months. He's not a big burly...

    Don't think Flaherty is hurt. Its about who they would prefer pitch Game 5 should it be necessary. Guess the answer to that question is Yamamoto.

    Padres Road to the World Series

    This one does. He (unfairly much of the time) bore so much of the burden of the Dodgers failures over the years, it would have been awesome to see him have a role and make one last run. Ironic that, this year, his back and shoulder were as healthy as they've been in a long time. He was having...

    Padres Road to the World Series

    Dodgers best hope, pitching wise, is to suddenly get back the Walker Buehler of old. Has had two TJ surgeries now, has shown occasional flashes of his old self since returning, but has struggled overall. If the Dodgers weren't completely out of alternatives, don't think he'd even be on the...

    Padres Road to the World Series

    Should be a great series. Crucial that the Dodgers win the first two games at home with Flaherty (unproven in post-season) and Yamamoto (unproven in post-season plus coming off a shoulder injury) pitching. After those starts, both of them can't/won't pitch with less than five days rest...

    Padres Road to the World Series

    Lifelong Dodger fan here. I am really hoping that Atlanta knocks off the Madres. At this point, I think SD is the most complete team in baseball. The Dodgers starting pitching is thin and highly questionable. If we can't get some length from the starters, we are in trouble. SD has starters...

    Padres Road to the World Series

    Pitcher injuries is not just a Dodgers issue, it is an epidemic throughout baseball. I think that, through technology based training, they have figured out how to teach guys to throw 98-102 mph consistently, and to do it with wicked spin and wicked movement. But none of that training makes the...

    Get this, some of the largest recipients in the Central Valley were farm labor contractors, they got tens of millions of dollars collectively.  Their business is simply to obtain, supply and be the middleman for (ahem, "legal") farm labor, putting those guys on their payroll.  They, in turn...

    Sorry, your mere offhand mention of it set me off.  It is something that really pisses me off, and I don't get why more people aren't mad as hell about it.

    Yes, its all a matter of public record.  Couple months ago, they published in the local business journal (Central Valley CA) a list of the largest PPP recipients in this area and amounts forgiven.  Got my adding machine, went to town, and it was over $100m by the end of page 2 of 4.   So, spread...

    Stonehenge, funny you should mention the “PPP money pusher and trailer crowd”.  I was beginning to think I was the only one that knew the truth about the PPP program.  Those who know, know. One of the most ill conceived, destructive  programs in history.  A gigantic one trillion dollar reverse...

    Completely disagree. Public land is public land, not strictly for those with enough wealth and leisure time (and the downright nerve and arrogance) to homestead it for themselves.  It’s that arrogance and narcissism that would result in a reservation system more than anything else.

    Nope, no keyboard (or any other type) of warrior here.  Posted a few times on the old site, this thread irritated me enough to register on the new. Only get to Glamis once a year, from 10+ hours away. Group goes during the same week every year arriving mid-week (after January 15) always staying...

    Live it up there brother, don't worry about the 50 law abiding folks that may have driven by your camp site SLOWLY while your rig sat abandoned for days on end.  Fortunate for you they didn't take matters into their own hands. By the way, may want to pay some attention to that dark mark on your...

    Right on the money, great post! The "Elite" believe that what is public land actually belongs to them as some sort of birthright.  To then turn around and condemn those who are trying to force Johnny Law to enforce the actual law is a real special type of hypocrisy.
