Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I could go to Baseball mogul...
I just traded Matt Cain. :-(
But for Hanley Ramirez and Andrew Miller.

"We could run a nice blog here if we didn't have all these members getting in the way."
How is my adopted son almost twice as old as I am? Nevermind...Go Omar! Warm the Bench!
But...
Hanley! and Andrew Miller will be Cain status in a year or so probably.

I had a crass “put out” joke queued up, but decided against it at the last second.

To brighten the mood
One of the funniest moments of my life just occured.
I am, for some reason, watching the SD/AZ game and Heath Bell almost hits Mark Reynolds in the head. Mark Grace goes, “Whoah” and the proceeds to sing “Low” in a alarmingly cheerful vocie.
“He hit the flo, next thing you know, shady got low low low….”
Awkward silence ensued.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Can’t he ever throw the ball to home plate

Yep.

I read that Detroit is the Top Sports City in America according to Forbes
That is, if you can overlook mile after mile of uninterrupted ghetto, burning cars aplenty and enough poverty to shake a shattered bamboo cane at.

Yeah my dad described downtown as a cool place to be, but he never goes there because his car would get stolen.

and I didn’t dare cruise around downtown after sundown. Then again I was only 26, and was dressed in a suit.
I went to a Panthers v. Red Wings game that was among the best sports wake-up calls I’ve had in a while. Hockey is so damn big there you cannot believe it.

pretty much agree.
Saw some were Boulder Skull does not want to have 6 man rotation the rest of the way. But I fail to see what good sticking with a 5 man would do.
Ivan Ochoa - Heir to the legacy of Rob Andrews & Rikkert Faneyte!
I heard different, that Bochy was considering going to a 6 man rotation for September, but it was radio, so it could have been more speculation
To me that makes more sense. Just bring up like 8 pitchers from Fresno & the Defenders and designate 1-2 starts at all staff nights.
It not there is anything Tim or Cain can prove with the type of games left this season. Sanchez probably should near the end of his innings for the season. So cycle through the other guys can see if something glimmers.

Back from walking the dog
Our walk was diverted by about 7 or 8 huge raccoons blocking our way. Used to see them all the time in Albany, but this is my first encounter with the fuckers in Oakland.

While housesitting in Albany, I caught one in the act of sneaking in the cat door. I grabbed a broom and shook it at it. We had a brief standoff, and then it finally just said The Hell With You and came right in.

I was walking to the bus stop one morning not too long ago and I came face to face with a coyote. He looked at me and just kept on his way. I don’t know about you, but that sorta freaked me out.

Yeah, I certainly never saw any coyotes in the couple of years I lived with my grandmother in Orinda. I did see a buffalo once! A tame one, mind you. Being ridden by Margaret Lescher’s much younger cowboy boyfriend before she died. Now that’s a good anecdote.

Margaret Lescher was the widow of Dean Lescher, who published the Contra Costa Times. They built a mansion in Orinda which was a few blocks away from my grandmother’s old house. After Dean Lescher died, Margaret Lescher had a relationship with a much younger cowboy-type who was one of America’s few professional buffalo trainers.
The anecdote is basically just that I was walking home one day and saw him riding his buffalo in the front yard.
Not long after, Margaret Leschner died in mysterious circumstances – she drowned in a lake while on vacation in Arizona. She was drunk and only wearing her underwear.
Fun!
