News of the Spurs trading Bruce Bowen has got me kinda blue. He has been a mainstay on the Spurs through their championship seasons, and through many heated battles with the Lake Show. I've always respected, and even liked, Bowen and, quite frankly, I feel bad for him. Going from a perennial contender to Milwaukee in the golden years of his career isn't ideal. The dude got a raw deal.
Don't get me wrong, anyone in their right mind would have made the trade from the Spurs' perspective. This is most likely the beginning of some significant change in San Antonio--they're clearly looking to go younger and more athletic. The trade gives them a pretty scary lineup when Parker, Ginobili (assuming he's healthy), Jefferson and Duncan are on the floor. At the same time, the losses of Oberto and Kurt Thomas drastically shorten their bench. It'll be interesting to see what they do the rest of the offseason.
On another note, the dudes who stole Lance Armstrong's bike are getting 3 years in jail while Dante Stallworth is set to serve 30 days......ummmmmm
AAAAANYWAY, I had some bomb ass carne asada tacos last night. My buddy Andrew and I made the trek down Pico to East LA to eat at El Parian. I ordered 3 carne asada cos and Andrew ordered 2 carne asada and one goat-type-thingy. Really, really delicious and authentic. If you're ever in East LA, and you like tacos like I do, check it out.
BRO, don't despair quite yet. Bowen will likely be dropped by milwaukee this summer. the spurs will be able to pick him up. i'm not positive they want his offensive liabilities and aging legs on their roster anymore tho. hearts.
ReplyDeleteYo DB, the same thing is about to happen to my boy Brian Giles in SD. He's spent the best years of his career in SD after he took off in Pittsburgh, and worst of all, he's FROM SD. Now they want to trade him and their best pitcher to pay a guy who may or may not even want to sign with them again when his contract is up (Gonzalez). Sucks, but that's the way pro sports go these days... fickle, without loyalty. They still put on a pretty good show though!
