Randy Smith was worse. At least Al was there when the team got Miguel. At least he signed J.D. Martinez. I really can't think of anything good Randy Smith did. As bad as Al's drafts have been, they are far better than Randy's. When I think of Randy I think of two things..............he only seemed to deal with the two teams he had connections with, the Padres and Astros and I'll never forget the ridiculous amount of praise for Craig Paquette. He really tried to sell us that Craig was some kind of difference maker. yeah, he was a difference maker in blowing Jeff Weaver's no-hitter, but not his fault, it was his 6th career game in RF, so of course it made sense to have him play a new position in a no-hitter. Man, those years sucked even more than these years. Team hasn't drafted well since the late 70's. I don't think I'm exaggerating there.

He'd want part ownership like Billy Beane got to stay in Oakland.

If you have to pay Theo $10 million bucks to lead the search - do it !

Its all about the draft, and then the draft and then after that - the draft. The last generation of our drafts are pitiful Turn that around and you turn the whole thing around. that means a new rebuild begins now. It sucks, but it had to happen.

Chris Illitch did not inspire confidence at the Press Conference. I don't think he's very plugged in. I think we already knew that, but to me it just cements that fact that winning is not a priority. Theo Epstein? I highly doubt that. To me, Al Avila should be just the start. I think the scouting department needs a total overhaul and so does the developmental staff........this has been going on far, far too long. I'd be interviewing people that work or worked with closely with Andrew Friedman. If the formula is to be in contention 5 out of 6 years and getting to the World Series once a decade - I'd take that.

There is no happy ending for Kim. There may some weight off her shoulders but Kim Wexler has been destroyed.

And I also want to say......................

I was at work when the news broke and a squealed a little squeal..............many looked up at me in puzzlement, but I didn't care, my hear was pure at that moment. And I want to say, with this pure heart, without reservation that I love you all today.

Is it possible that Putin asked Trump to help him with a Ukraine invasion and Trump did specifically?

from interviews it certainly sounds like the BB/BCS universe is over. No Kim Sequel. So I don't think there will be anything open-ended. Dead or In Prison but maybe getting there in a way that is surprising.

Oh, it's fun to speculate. I always knew Kim's fate would be to not be a lawyer after all the hard work and overcoming her alcoholic mom to get there. Terrible fate. I thought she's get it taken away, not that she's walk away.

Does anyone Okay.........we knew that there was going to be one more Jesse scene and one more Walt scene and they would not be together. We got the Jesse scene. My belief is that the show next week opens with Walt & Saul in the hidden basement of Ed's Vacuum shop, more of the conversation they had and I think Walt is going to tell Saul he killed Mike. Plus, I would assume that someone came across Mike's body by the river and it would be news in ABQ, something that Francesca would have told Jimmy/Saul/Gene/Viktor. Gene is going to have to rush home for his cash and diamonds if he wants to use Ed's services and then he's gonna call the vacuum shop and someone other than Ed is going to answer and we're gonna find out Ed died two weeks earlier and Saul is going to ask for the dust filter for the Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro 60 and the person is going to have no idea what that is. I don't think the last scene is going even be Jimmy/Saul. I think it's going to be Kim seeing the story on TV of Jimmy's capture or death right before she overdoses on a jar of Duke's mayonnaise.

That's what I have been thinking.

He said Johnson u-uh-huh-uh-huh Yeah, Yeah, He said Bush too, Yeah, he said Bush

The taxman's taken all my dough And left me in my stately home Lazin' on a sunny afternoon And I can't sail my yacht He's taken every thing I've got All I've got's this sunny afternoon Save me, Save Me, Save Me from this squeeze I got the FBI trying to break me.

Stop picking on Rudy, he's overcome a lot

Yes, they could do it for me. They can raid my house looking for documents I illegally removed from the White House. I would welcome them. Just don't eat my Trolli sour gummy worms.........and be careful with the grey plastic shelf in the basement, I don't think it's going to hold much longer................it's bowing in the middle.

Oh something tells me that the DOJ has made sure to have absolutely everything legally air-tight for this one.

Anyone think George W. and Jeb were watching this and laughing their asses off last night?

He congealed them. The Republicans had this dog whistle racism for years, ever since Nixon's Southern Strategy. They all did it too. Little phrases they used (My favorite is 'This is the REAL America' when they were in front of a bunch of white people). But yes, they slithered out when this asshole came along shouting it and he made it okay. Democrats don't help with the constantly being offended by everything all the time (really, comedians offend you? people making jokes?). Then on top of it you have gay people being allowed to be themselves and this makes the troglodytes even more angry (never got that one, why does it matter who someone else loves?). Democrats were so shitty at energizing their base that the Republicans had to come along and ax abortion rights to do it (Kansas was a preview). It's just over this guy, though. He's a fucking idiot. He's not worth a tenth of what he claims. He never closed a deal in his life - his entire life, he had people do it for him and he took the credit. He's not the least bit religious and he can't even fake it. He's never read the Bible. He's never read a book outside of having to do it for school - and I have my doubts there. He's cheated on every wife he's had, does not respect marriage (he's had 3), buries his first wife at his golf course for a tax dodge and you know, you KNOW he's paid for an abortion at least once..............oh wait, he's probably said he'd pay for it, but he wound up stiffing the woman. He failed at owning a Casino. You have to really be a fuck up to do that. Casinos are money-printing machines, even when they are run legit. This guy. This asshole.

I remember reading that Trump would refuse to read things, important things, so his staffers learned to make sure they put his name in documents as many times as possible so he'd read them. It would be so funny if some of those documents burned him. But those hoping for some kind of conviction. Even if it happened before the next administration, he'd get pardoned. Even Biden would pardon him. He'd have to - to avoid violence. Every Democratic politician already has a target on their back, it's gonna be worse now. The Judge that signed off on this better have extra security. Look what that fucker did to us. That stupid, lying, racist cunt. This is all because of him. The most see-through con man that ever existed. But millions fell and continue to fall for it........mostly because of the out loud racism. When is Trump's plane to Brazil or Russia? LOL. North Korea? His buddies. His kind.

Don't know if anyone noticed this tiny detail when Saul looked at the laptop and saw his commercials, the reflection of the computer screen in his glasses were in color. Same thing in the first episode when Gene watched the commercials on his VCR.

Someone very close talked. Meadows?

Next year's Emmy's might see a Carol Burnett nomination.

If you've got nothing to hide, why sweat the search? Be like Karen Hill in Goodfellas and offer 'em coffee.
