DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported
(updated 8/26)
Hueso decides to claim that DeMaio did this? Oh, wow. This is pure politics, just accuse someone of something and it's true. And Hueso is probably guilty of sexual harassment for telling Marti Emerald what he supposedly witnessed. I'm sure that anyone could accuse me of much worse without any proof at all. Hueso = staunch democrat while DeMaio = staunch republican. But I'm sure this is all irrelevant.

Who's more embarrassing? U-T or Filner?
Setting Manchester's politics aside, the actual parody achieved what its creators intended, which was National attention on an otherwise failing venture in U-T TV. Stupidity often attracts attention which gets publicity.

Reds capitalize on Padres lack of timely hitting
Worst game I've seen from the Padres in a long time. That 4 errors should have been 6 except for some dubious scoring by the Rockies official scorer. To get the lead-off man on every inning for the first four innings and have nothing to show for it is awful. And the pitching, well, I'll tell you what I know and see of Volquez. When his stuff is working, he's brilliant. The problem is, when it isn't working, he's horrible. My joke in the press box is that Volquez is the most likely pitcher on the staff to pitch a no-hitter. And he'll walk eight batters and have a pitch count of 150 to get there. Unfortunately for Edinson, I get the feeling that he may not be in the starting rotation for very much longer, so mine is a dubious (and facetious) prediction. And I doubt he'll be offered a contract next season by the Padres (you'll hear guys like John Kentera on 1090 claim that Volquez is still arbitration eligible, but I have him as a clear free agent next season). Edinson has great movement on his fastball and on his secondary pitches. It's too bad he doesn't have better command. I like him, he's a great interview and a really fun guy to interact with. I'll miss him, no idea who picks him up next season, but some club will. I just don't think it's going to be the Padres. And in fairness to Volquez, he has been battling a hamstring issue all season, not to mention the occasional blister. So who knows, maybe he's a solid reclamation project for some other team. I'm currently writing up a piece on last night's game. And I am not being kind to the Friars. Should be ready in a couple of hours.

Oh man was THAT a screw up. Girlfriend works for Cox, they have FSSD, my bad, thanks for pointing that out.

Getting wooly at Mamut
I went through there before we left Tijuana, everything was all closed up. It was sort of early though, and on a Sunday I think. Next time, I'm trying this again.

Groovy nightlife in Tijuana
I'm with the white girl, except I lived there over 20 years. It isn't what you always read about. I'm North of the border at the moment, but there isn't anything that compares to Tijuana. Nothing here in San Diego, although I won't crush Mexican food here, comes even close to down there. If you aren't comfortable, that's understandable, but don't be fooled by outrageous pieces about how you get shot just crossing the street in Baja. It isn't true. You're likely safer down there than you are in many parts of San Diego. The food is fantastic and the beer is outstanding. And the people - on the whole - are wonderful.

Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
Actually, De Los Santos was playing in Arizona with the Rookie League club. I had him released on my spreadsheet as well (he was, actually, released back in May, but I guess they resigned him at some point). This info per Corey Brock of
MLB.com
, and verified by myself.

Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
Don: Interestingly, A-Rod has never tested positive. This process seems quite Filner-esque.

Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
It has, I have a statement from MLB. "Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today that third baseman Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 Championship Season and Postseason and the entire 2014 Championship Season for violations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and the Basic Agreement. Rodriguez's discipline under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez's discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation. The suspension, which will become effective on Thursday, August 8th, will cover 211 Championship Season games and any 2013 Postseason games in which Rodriguez otherwise would have been eligible to play. Under the terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, Rodriguez's suspension will be stayed until the completion of his appeal if Rodriguez files a grievance challenging his discipline."

Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
He may appeal, in which case, MLB will allow him to play until an arbitrator decides. He's in Chicago now with the Yankees team. According to a statement issued by Bud Selig, A-Rod's suspension goes into effect Thursday so he might play today.

DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported (updated 8/26)
Hueso decides to claim that DeMaio did this? Oh, wow. This is pure politics, just accuse someone of something and it's true. And Hueso is probably guilty of sexual harassment for telling Marti Emerald what he supposedly witnessed. I'm sure that anyone could accuse me of much worse without any proof at all. Hueso = staunch democrat while DeMaio = staunch republican. But I'm sure this is all irrelevant.— August 23, 2013 7:45 a.m.
Who's more embarrassing? U-T or Filner?
Setting Manchester's politics aside, the actual parody achieved what its creators intended, which was National attention on an otherwise failing venture in U-T TV. Stupidity often attracts attention which gets publicity.— August 15, 2013 10:32 a.m.
Reds capitalize on Padres lack of timely hitting
Worst game I've seen from the Padres in a long time. That 4 errors should have been 6 except for some dubious scoring by the Rockies official scorer. To get the lead-off man on every inning for the first four innings and have nothing to show for it is awful. And the pitching, well, I'll tell you what I know and see of Volquez. When his stuff is working, he's brilliant. The problem is, when it isn't working, he's horrible. My joke in the press box is that Volquez is the most likely pitcher on the staff to pitch a no-hitter. And he'll walk eight batters and have a pitch count of 150 to get there. Unfortunately for Edinson, I get the feeling that he may not be in the starting rotation for very much longer, so mine is a dubious (and facetious) prediction. And I doubt he'll be offered a contract next season by the Padres (you'll hear guys like John Kentera on 1090 claim that Volquez is still arbitration eligible, but I have him as a clear free agent next season). Edinson has great movement on his fastball and on his secondary pitches. It's too bad he doesn't have better command. I like him, he's a great interview and a really fun guy to interact with. I'll miss him, no idea who picks him up next season, but some club will. I just don't think it's going to be the Padres. And in fairness to Volquez, he has been battling a hamstring issue all season, not to mention the occasional blister. So who knows, maybe he's a solid reclamation project for some other team. I'm currently writing up a piece on last night's game. And I am not being kind to the Friars. Should be ready in a couple of hours.— August 13, 2013 11:35 a.m.
Reds capitalize on Padres lack of timely hitting
Oh man was THAT a screw up. Girlfriend works for Cox, they have FSSD, my bad, thanks for pointing that out.— August 12, 2013 11:40 p.m.
Getting wooly at Mamut
I went through there before we left Tijuana, everything was all closed up. It was sort of early though, and on a Sunday I think. Next time, I'm trying this again.— August 10, 2013 2:14 p.m.
Groovy nightlife in Tijuana
I'm with the white girl, except I lived there over 20 years. It isn't what you always read about. I'm North of the border at the moment, but there isn't anything that compares to Tijuana. Nothing here in San Diego, although I won't crush Mexican food here, comes even close to down there. If you aren't comfortable, that's understandable, but don't be fooled by outrageous pieces about how you get shot just crossing the street in Baja. It isn't true. You're likely safer down there than you are in many parts of San Diego. The food is fantastic and the beer is outstanding. And the people - on the whole - are wonderful.— August 9, 2013 3:21 p.m.
Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
Actually, De Los Santos was playing in Arizona with the Rookie League club. I had him released on my spreadsheet as well (he was, actually, released back in May, but I guess they resigned him at some point). This info per Corey Brock of MLB.com, and verified by myself.— August 5, 2013 7:10 p.m.
Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
Don: Interestingly, A-Rod has never tested positive. This process seems quite Filner-esque.— August 5, 2013 1:43 p.m.
Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
It has, I have a statement from MLB. "Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today that third baseman Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 Championship Season and Postseason and the entire 2014 Championship Season for violations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and the Basic Agreement. Rodriguez's discipline under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez's discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation. The suspension, which will become effective on Thursday, August 8th, will cover 211 Championship Season games and any 2013 Postseason games in which Rodriguez otherwise would have been eligible to play. Under the terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, Rodriguez's suspension will be stayed until the completion of his appeal if Rodriguez files a grievance challenging his discipline."— August 5, 2013 1:16 p.m.
Padres's Cabrera suspended for 50 games: reports
He may appeal, in which case, MLB will allow him to play until an arbitrator decides. He's in Chicago now with the Yankees team. According to a statement issued by Bud Selig, A-Rod's suspension goes into effect Thursday so he might play today.— August 5, 2013 12:57 p.m.
