Really?
Love is a pretty strong word for a middle aged woman who keeps herself in decent shape.
Love is a word that I would reserve for Gaudin’s girlfriend. Donovan Tate’s mom? Not so much.

Good day for the Padres
and all of San Diego. All we want is for the FO is to “seem” like they want to win and signing the draft picks is great. I was worried about Tate because he had the option to play football, but it looks like the road to recovery is well in play.
But, Young will be 100% for another team next season.

It’s Dex’s B-day, The Plan is starting to come together, and we beat the Cubs with the walk off last night. Moist yellow cake w/ chocolate brown frosting.

So this is all Agon has to do
