Will see Trout again soon. Even going to Oakland late at night to do i then through the Tenderloin to my hostel, lol. Think I will get off early and just follow the wharf beach area back and despite the long walk. Time goes by fast after the rush of a game and on drugs and alcohol. Plus is straight across from Alcatraz so won't get lost. Sometimes I do and just sleep wherever even with a paid bed or motel/hotel. Fuck it, it was fun. Didn't realize he is already 30. Yet that is the best triple I have watched in my life.
And yeah. North Baker Beach in San Fran on this trip. Why not? Lol. Am less concerned about that then Oakland and making my way back to the fort hostel which is amazing than, I don't know. Think it is better to experience a nude beach for the first time then going through the Tenderloin after a A's game at night or late in Oakland. o Which is more scarier? And yes it is legal. Murder, robbings, and such I had a nightmare of Oakland and this trip and it was late at night and I was in the Purge and just running from everyone.
Enjoy your Spring and Summer baseball people. Glad to see as May hits people are getting out of their parkas and more into sweatshirts. Not a bucket list thing. Just never done it. Has a lot to do with baseball I know, God, what people fear in life.

Rendon is amazing. Angels win again and love the lineup. Angels will spend like the Dodgers but I have a Angles cap for softball leagues and though it was for Trout. His style of hitting is quite amazing and why he is making, what, 25 million a year? Still learning so much from watching him. Never did before he played on a team I actually cared about.
Kershaw had a good outing. Bullpen with the Dodgers, not so much. 'WILL NEVER BE A FAN OF THE DODGERS. God there are some teams I bet on like the Red Sox or Yankees that I don't like but this is a whole different thing.
Oh yeah, their rapist pitcher is banned for two years without pay. I HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THEY WORLD! Getting paid for doing nothing and now that level of income is shut off.
Raping people. I will never get it. What team will even sign him, and yes they were paid off but what team will sign this asshole in two years? Oakland for 400k for a one year deal? Can't believe I am going back to that stadium. Never seen the Japanese wonder but shit have to go through some shady places to get back. On with it.
Home is wherever I sleep. Always liked that song lyric. All that matters is making that airplane.

Oakland. God. Looking forward to the game but holy shit. It is bad. Still worth seeing the Angels. Could give a fuck less about the A's but is weird watching some videos of the way back when of the football stadium lines and number at certain places on it.
Still the worse stadium ever was the Vet in Phillie with that turf and just amazing, my favorite player at the time. Nails, is in prison now. Buy the ticket take the ride. Just hope I make it back and to my hostel and flight last day of the trip. It is booked. Weird not having paper tickets anymore.
Oakland sucks but the Angels are doing quite well to start the season. Will be much more comfortable going to the Giants park for the third time and feeling safe then this shit.
Just glad the fans are back. A G.S. game in the NBA, haven't even looked that up yet where they play. Will be interesting.

God. I think Cinci might become close to the worst teams of all time. Not going to waste my time watching it, highlights are bad enough, but I thought Monfront was bad in Denver but this owner on what was a good team last year with some potential blew it up. Greed and arrogance and going in front of a camera for an interview on the field in sunglasses and a all red suit. And I thought the female bitch from hell owner was greedy and fake as shit.
God I haven't seen money lines like that ever, and no, is not worth risking that much just for a bill and putting up 600 in Nevada. Really wish the MLB would just get rid of the Minor Leagues in MLB as year after year it is just them developing them for the big market teams and big contracts of course. Tired of it. Seeing these top prospects in the MLB draft, like anyone gives a shit about that and then do well and then move on to L.A. or New York, etc.
Is making the game shit. Put ads on the mounds, bases, behind home plate, tat the players. Who gives a shit. Maybe the baselines or every part of the outfield, on the field. Because if there is one thing a fan wants to do, is have endless ads on the field when going to a game. On to San Francisco and Oakland. God their fields, graffiti everywhere on it. I get it with Oakland but not the Giants and their income and what the prices I have paid to go see both in a week.
Is inane.
BUT HOW ABOUT THEM YANKEES! Since I am in a bitching mood what great prices to see a MLB game against the Orioles or Texas for a hundred and pay 50 for a beer and hotdog. Nice winning streak but is getting harder and harder to like the MLB. Even the NBA is putting ads on their jerseys. I don't wear ads. But we have to make for Covid year lost profits. No, no you really do not.
That will be the next step for the MLB. Besides the Nike logo. But it is small and one rarely notices it. Now it is like a massive bombardment of ads on the sides of the first and third bases, the mound, behind the hitters, etc. I get the walls as that and billboards as that has been around since the beginning of the game but this is starting to get really annoying.
I DON'T WANT TO BUY ALL THIS SHIT OR NEED IT! End of rant.

Blue Jays score 27 runs at Fenway in 6 innings. That was amusing, fans booing when it was 5-0 early. Impressive. And just some really bad baseball being played. Losing one in the lights and an infield popup no one called off and just dropped between the mound. But wow. They were crushing everything. The dugout and the players just had these big grins on their faces when they hit 20 runs in. That was great.

Ughh. Astros, Dodgers, or Yankees. Going to be one of those three. Leaning with the Astros. Anyone have someone out of those three that one thinks is a wildcard that can run the table and get a championship or is it a fools hope?

Buxton is turning into one of my favorite players in the MLB. If one ever gets a chance to go see him I recommend it. This commentator made me laugh when he threw a b-line to home plate and he just said, you have to realize you are going against the best defensive outfielder in the league. Just some players at the top of their game and it is amazing to watch.
Not bad on walk off homers either. Just watching a game and this guy hit one and the talking head said, that is his first walk off in 8 years in the majors.
He has 3 I think this year? But this throw. Just some guys you have to go to the park for at least one game in a series. Especially if it is a pitcher like Max or Clayton.
On this play from the wall catch and just throws it on a bounce to first like it was so easy. That was great.

Wow. Trout at 30 has some terminal back problems just barely into his contract but says, will not effect my performance or that Albert size contract and age right. Used to be my favorite player. Keep getting that those paydays.
Angles are also talking with teams in trading the Jap. They want four top prospects in return. Angels are a mess. No one will take Trout with that news and that contract and maybe the Jap can go to someone good. They talked about the Yankees but hoping for the Mets.
Sorry, I like him. Just my late Grandfather was an artillery planner against the Japs, they even had it in the headlines, JAPS GIVE UP and just a joke. P.C. police let me be. Just don't go to the Yankees please. 10 plus K's in his las four starts and his last one he loses 2-0. Angels are a joke.
Is so amusing how he can pitch and hit and then a garbage pitcher hits him and he yells out, "LEARN HOW TO PITCH." Only guy in the majors that can back that up since the DH, blah, went into effect this year for every team.
Used to love that about the N.L., that strategy. But is no more so players can play till 44-45 and make the millions. Whatever.

Keep rolling Padres. Nice trades. Please take Kris from the Rockies for free and they shall pay you. Coors is dead. Went to a Padres game, alive. People care about it. Broncos at least.
Yankees against Dodgers. Though Houston, Even with that man in Twin City they are the the team I fear more than either of them and could wreck everything. Ways to go! 4 out of 5 for the Dodgers against the Rockies. They always beat the fucking Rockies. Will bet on the Broncos, feels like charity to the sportsbook if I ever do to the Rockies.
How many games can we fit in? How many playoff games can we make it year round? How much greed and stupid shit in all of it? Endless doubleheaders. No strike for more than a month, attendence is down 6.5 percent. Who cares, Give me, give me, give me,
Worst is Clleveland. 16,000 announced. Cleveland guy on why the fuck are they called the Guardians? Is a stupid fucking name. Must agree with this man. And they are 59-56 I believe. No one wants to see them.
Through in the DH in the N.L. Yeah, it has been great this year and I am sure for the years to come.
But they have the Browns. Two great running backs and after 6 games, think it will be longer unless Good for everyone commish extends it. A conservative Q.B. and just pound the ball and a adequate D great. At the same time when hankerchief towel man gets an erection and it comes off and he jacks off in one's face, and they are are all paid off like the dirty sluts they are, amazing what that kind of money can do and really read into it and see if you can hope the inept Browns for decades as inept as they are and still feel sorry for them.
I don't. And this shit is going to follow him and the franchise the rest of his time there.
But back to baseball.
Dodgers, don't care if Kershaw couldn't finish 5 and get the W. They go 4 quality starters and an amazing bullpun and closer better than the Yankees or Astros. Going with the Dodgers.

Attendance is really down. And prices are not. God what I paid just for one and a hotdog and a beer and the worst cocktail ever made by man was quite amazing. And they complain about taking a family to one and the cost.
Get Oakland to Vegas and lower the teams in the league. Even t.v. viewership is falling. Losing fans as one youtuber put it. Should go back to a 8 team league. Really the only eight that people care about.
Thank you Expos year and that strike. That all-star team yet why would one care about it in many cities? The numbers are amusing.

Yeah. Went to the big A. Baseball used to be a lot more fun back then. Nursing a hangover birthday night out quite well. And yes Trout is injured career wise with his back and Big Al numbers coming up in the years to come. with his back and now they are are going to run O's MLB into the ground like his. At least I can laugh about it.

Fernando. Why. As heartbroken fans of the Padres we mourn your 80 game suspension. Many Machado. He was basically I am to old for this shit. They got Soto so great. Just beat the Dodgers.
In a different article this year aside from this subject they just asked him if he was worried, and he just said, "I am Manny fucking Machado." That was it. He is a vet and amazing to see. Hit a home run when in San Diego and HOF unless proven otherwise by the means at 24 Fernando and A-Rod saying he is already fucked out of the HOF. Don't ruin your career, they are a lot stricter now basically.
So a song, and hope for our swing monks that they call Padres in San Diego, lol. Beautiful stadium and location. So different than L.A. So go S.D. And can someone just, as a Rockies fan, release Kris Bryant now. That would be great, thanks.

Why the MLB is more dangerous then ever. I used to love see pitchers throw complete games and growing up yeah I plowed over the catcher at home plate because I saw it done in the bigs. The stopping the double plays and how they used to go about it at second base that I agree with.
But people were tough and resilient back then. Now so many are endless porcelain dolls. It is the MLB not the NFL. I don't like going to games when players I payed to see are not playing and prices just keep going up.
Have to admit, watching this vid made me feel better and I found it amusing.
I post a lot of youtube and do premium as I hate commercials just fast forward through the shit for those that watch it, for things they don't want. All I do is stream, I have no patience for it.
God, I remember seeing the Vet in Phillie and that turf and stadium. I know what a raspberry feels like. Concrete walls and the way they do fences, I get the Cubs but at least the rest of the league has done a lot to change that. But the injuries never end. Cal Ripken, wow, no one will ever break that record. Pussies. Nolan Ryan throwing 223 pitches in a game. Those days are long gone.
Great vid though. Watch a lot of players getting injured throughout time, lol and hit in the face with a 100 mph fastball. The funniest thing I ever saw was when Josh Beckett got shelled but he basically beat the Yankees himself for a W.S. championship and after a three run homer he just wound up and kept hitting the following the batters with fastballs. Not in the face, no one is for that but the ump wouldn't even give him a warning because of the respect he had in the league. Was watching it live and it still makes me laugh to this day. And now Josh isn't in this.
On another note Yankees are starting to suck and starting to think it will be Houston against the Dodgers. On with the games.

Good for Miggy as Detroit rots, really is a horrid city and team. But after the shitshow in L.A. and a very rich person paying that Angels contract and Albert, what is his real name, not the guy from the cartoon, hitting homers and homers, will most likely, and they will do their best is St. Louis, to get him to 700 in his final year and his contract with the Angels could of save Sri Lanka, to that. Is probably their GNP but shit on the Angels and have your final shit in St. Louis you money grubbing fuck.
L.A. fans. Go root for the Dodgers. Trout and his back is fucked and is the same contract. Pick a well run organization. But Jap man! Run him into the ground as well for nothing. God/life. At least you didn't give Bonds a championship. Wow, 20 years ago but he never experienced it. That is great. I get why I get into so many conversations with people at sports bars and at times at the games. NFL as well. But history in the MLB to many is almost sacred to them and that amazes me.
Old man, Red Sox will always screw it up, young kid until they don't. Cubs will never win a W.S., that they did. White Sox first of course and yes in Black Sox era they won one.
Will the Rockies ever win a championship, or the the Jazz? My two favorite teams. Well the Broncos won a lot after getting blown out every year in it. Always a chance. Though the odds this year is if one bets 100 win 300k! Nope. Still cheat train Astros, think they get it again this year and if not, WAR IN UKRAINE! GAS PRICES! ENDLESS INFLATION! 1,000 year FLOODS! ENDLESS WILDFIRES! The guy hit the ball 435 feet out! Perspective.

White Sox have won 2 of last 10. What does it take to get a manager fired, when you were expected to be a championship contender?
The home crowd is booing them off the field.

Makes sense. Real hometown fans go to the games when the Cubs are corporate. Thought they would better this year and players can't stand him either those that dare speak out.
I am surprised how much the Dodgers and Astros and Yankees are winning to the rest of the league. It is really getting ridiculous the talent gaps and one sees amazing young talent and they just develop them to those those types of teams. Am getting tired it and triple AAA teams in the majors. Not the White Sox are just they can do so much better with that talent. But so can many teams this year but I get your point.
A little over a month and the playoffs start. Right now the whole league is kind of dull to watch as it is pretty much set up with what matters for that time.
Rockies, go fuck yourselves with Bryant and Arenado and Dickerson and a well led team and management. Some players like it when you were their old teams teams cap, Nolan does not, really a lot so.
I think they got 20 games out of Kris this year after paying what, half of the remaining salary of Arenado? Wasn't a trade, but we have our beached out bbq place in our stadium now. I don't get it. But wow those wonderful shots of him signing with them.
Release Kris and just move on. I think the White Sox will as well. I had a lot of catching up to do.
Welcome to Coors field! Fuck you Kris. Old and hobbled vet that you are.

Watched some highlights and Strider is an amazing pitcher to watch for the Braves. Can throw 100 mph fastball and Olson of course and get why the long term contract to take over for Freddie as it is cheaper but he has some great numbers. Just seeing what the Braves are doing and if Acuna Jr., got his 34th RBI. I thought ACL's were a season ender but I was wrong.
Mets, Degrom, and the fattest man playing and Braves will be interesting in the playoffs if they make any series watching games of it the A.L. this year the only matchup I look forward to is Astros against the Yankees. They walked Judge the previous game, the pathetic Angels intentionally twice like they ever have anything to play for and he hit his 61st home run. Will be interesting if he gets to 70 or if Albert gets to 700.
Think the latter will, just think teams are not going to pitch to Judge and give him the chance.
God Strider looks like a guy out of the beginning of baseball. Got the easy W. I forgive Acuna Jr. but Tatis, no. Whatever. God the excuses.
On with the games. God is good and God is bad. Just another word for life. Religious folk think it is horrible, more important things in life.
