 So has John Moores when he said the best the fans should hope
for are meaningful games in Sept.
 I guess Oct. is a bit of a reach for him.
 Talk about taking the wind out of a season before it starts.

 Anyway, baseball remains a screwed up business masquerading
as sports entertainment.   That is why I can't get all fired up
about a Pads team whose hopes depend on aging vets getting
one more year out of their tired bodies or utility players having
a career exception year.  The idea of youngsters getting
held up from opportunity because of arbitration clocks and
remaining waivers makes me puke.

All that said, I'm still looking forward to reclining in front of
the big screen with the music playing over the mud and a scotch
to drown my perrenial padre sorrows.

I did find it amusing that "never" doesn't trump the cubs 99 years
of no championships.  I guess they figure if no one is alive to
remember it, it never happened.
