good talk

I saw the Padres beat Washington 6-3 on Sunday.  Bryce Harper did all-right, first time up he laid a beautiful, long, fast, bunt towards 3rd base, his speed allowing him to get to 1st.  In his next 3 at-bats, he had a walk.  2 of the Padres were picked-off 1st, not the sign of having your mind on the game (that steak and beer are gonna taste so good).  Now, Petco has this year's All Star Game, a beautiful ballpark, next to the trendy Gaslamp section, downtime, and close to the ocean.  But the last couple years, the Padres have had no program, of any sort, not even a small-one they might give-out for free, fortunately, I brought Sunday's sportspages, which help a lot, but I much prefer to buy a nice, big program, a big-help and it's a nice thing to have.  Also, they took away all that great, extensive, memorabilia, that they had in that bar and grill, for the Padres' fans, the ambience has gone down-hill.  I went to Bowling Green, as a freshman, and it wasn't until a few years later, that they stopped having freshman-teams, in those days, no matter how good you were, if you were a freshman, you couldn't play on the varsity.  I knew some of the guys who were on Bowling Green's freshman-baseball-team, and they went to Kent State to play Kent State's freshman-team, and they came-back raving about Kent State's catcher, and this is how they referred to him, they didn't seem to know that his name was Thurman Munson
