Big news hit the news wave today as Diamondbacks hired Tony La Russa to oversee the entire baseball operations. Wow ! Talk about an Owner and Franchise willing to make a statement rather than remaining status quo. Very impressive, it takes guts to make changes and do so early in the season. This does not bode well for the Padres at all, because now there is a highly knowledgeable and legit champion legend named Tony La Russa in the Division. As I had alluded earlier this year on my predictions post, sooner or later we will find out who gets the axe first D-Backs GM Towers or Padres GM Byrnes.

As for the Padres, they made another move by trading 1B/OF Kyle Blanks for an unknown commodity plus cash or player to be named later. I got one question, why does it seem the Padres always trade players for cash considerations? Is there something going on that this franchise is cash-strapped? Plus, why are we trading a promising power hitter when the major league roster is not hitting at all? Granted, Blanks was called up for only a few days and given only 10 at-bats this year. Well, as you can see the Padres still haven’t figured out how to hit, last night they only scored one run in Coors Field on the same night Kyle Blanks got his first hit as a member of the Athletics, that is 1st-place Athletics. Where are the Padres in the standings? Enough said.

That’s all folks ! Don’t Worry Mama, Junior is doing fine. With that being said, here is a blues music video featuring rising and hot blues artist Ben Rice with a song titled “Don’t Worry Mama”. Yes Mama, one day the Padres will get it until then stop worrying.
