The Most Recent Cycle Hit For Each Team (Updated for Matt Kemp, August 14, 2015 )
DAVID ZALUBOWSKI/AP
THE FIRST PADRE CYCLE!!!
No Padre has ever thrown a no hitter. No Padres team has ever won the World Series. No Padre had ever hit for the cycle… until now.
Matt Kemp hit a fly ball that ricocheted off the right center field wall in Coors Field. By the time he stood at third base, the cycle was achieved.
This has been a rough year for the Padres and for Kemp, but this hit must have felt sweet.
Here is the list, updated for today’s action!

Freakish Delays For Travel Over FRI/SAT Almost Cause Game Misses: 217 MLB Games Trip Still Intact For 2015
a 30 hour travel sector tested my limit and sanity once again. Overall it was not a very good week of execution on either my part, or parties that were helping me on the voyages. I am hoping that having my car with me for the majority will help clean that up in the next 10 days in the Midwest, Toronto and Baltimore, before I hit the West Coast for an 11 day road swing. At least I made it to Yankee Stadium early enough to receive this killer cowboy hat. Unfortunately I will be selling this on EBAY to help pay for some of the fiasco that was this week.

If felt like a page Right Out Of Ripley ‘s
I started out Friday morning (Aug.07, 2015) with much swagger. I began the day with an exciting interview opportunity in which I nailed for a potential paying gig surrounding MLB.
Since I couldn’t take my car to a Park and Ride in Sicklerville, N.J. (since I would be gone for 40 hours on Friday and Saturday), I walked 2 miles to my public bus – in order to make the connecting transport to Philadelphia Amtrak 30th Station. I did not want to risk a tow charge for using the Park N ride service for too long.
I ate a heavy helping of Ramen noodles before leaving. Hey, you gotta save dough where you can. My friend Gary Herman gave me a free coupon for a Chic – fil-a sandwich earlier this week – which I capitalized on since it was 800 feet from my public bus Friday..
NJ Transit took me to the Lindenwold PATCO Speedline. I have taken this method all week. It costs just $3 for a one way maneuver into downtown Philly.
If I am headed to New York – they have a Megabus pickup location at Philly independence Hall. It only takes 25 minutes.
Today was not one of those days. Trips to Washington are picked up from Amtrak 30th Station only. It is still a $3 move for me because it falls within the free interloop zone for light rail trips out of Jefferson Station. (Right across from the Greyhound Station on Filbert Street).
So back to the pending weirdness. I arrived ready to make this journey from the Speedline, when all of the transit rail systems were down to the oil leak a few miles up the train tracks. Read the rest of this entry
More Travel Chaos On 217 Game MLB Trip: The Pope Is Coming To Philly
Pope Benedict XVI greets the crowd after delivering his Christmas message “urbi et orbi” (to the city and the world) from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican Dec. 25. (CNS photo/Paul Haring) (Dec. 25, 2012). He will be bringing his talents to Philadelphia, effectively shutting down traffic in all directions during late September, causing this ballpark chaser to scramble some more.

Here is a new one for the books.. Extra costs and maneuvers needed to be pulled off because The Pope Is Coming to Philly Sept.24 – Sept.27.
The city of Philly will not run busses through downtown like I needed them too.
So instead if weaving around on $1 bus fares on Megabus, I will have to flip cities between New York and Washington instead.
Then the Reds @ Nationals caused me a chance to alter some more plans – since they decided to reschedule a make up game in Washington for Monday, September 28th at 3 pm. Read the rest of this entry

I sit here humbled that I made it this far in my journey. 4 years ago at this time, I was not in a good place. I was working, going home and trying to fend off headaches, dizziness and any loud sounds.
The government in my home town province of Canada, was not helping me with my claim versus a 2010 accident where I was hit and ran by a driver of a big truck. I would later hire a personal injury and take them to task. These were the dark days of depression one suffers from repeated concussions. It even went to other parts of my body like arms and shoulders – tingling from stress.
So having said that, one of the things I did during this stretch was still capitalize my best skills with what was given to me. I turned to professional handicapping and earning Air Miles through a google search engine.
I used all the anger I had towards the situation – and it fueled me to earn as much as I could while on the shelf. Read the rest of this entry

DAY DATE
So you think July was weird, well the last 2 months plus a little of October should shape up to be weirder. I am sitting at Camden Yards last night – and my buddy Scott tells me he can’t make the game tonight – because he missed his flight on the West Coast.
I told him the odds of having something happen to you for the traveling the whole year go up exponentially when you are on the road. I lose stuff pretty routinely. Mostly I can recover these items, but some I like to wonder if “Casper, the un-friendly ghost” got his grubby little mitts on. Read the rest of this entry

2015 Trip schedule.
Changing Of The Schedule.
If you click the link above saying 2015 trip schedule, it looks vastly different from it did a few days ago.
First off, I have an opportunity in Tampa Bay to do something special for the long-term benefit of my career if I come back at the end of the year. I am not allowed to get into specifics right now. It simply has altered my schedule to include the final 6 games on the docket to include a 3 game set in Atlanta at the end of September, and the last 3 games will be at Tropicana Field.
Other changes I have made include taking off a game on the July 4th night in Atlanta. I have thought about this day long and hard, and decided I would rather spend the night hanging out in the nation’s capital for the fireworks show with my brother’s family, rather than try to complete a 6 game – 3 day effort.
To help out in another aspect to accommodate this, I am also adding a Cincinnati/St. Louis doubleheader on Wed July 1st, 2015, and have added another game on Thursday July.2 in St. Louis.
I was lucky enough to have been interviewed by the Marlins today during the pregame radio broadcast, and also met longtime Marlins + Montreal Expos broadcaster Dave Van Horn. After a chat about the top 5 parks, I listed Busch Stadium as my #5 favorite. I was devastated to have completed the only 2 games there earlier this year.
In looking at my Thursday July.02 original doubleheader. It listed the Mets/Phillies at 1;10/6:35. Originally I was going to use Amtrak, eventually I switched the method to Philly for a Megabus.com trip. But all have flaws in them, and are way too dependent on things to go right to count as a 2 games in one day maneuver.
The problem is also driving all night to Chicago for a Cubs/White Sox doubleheader after, keep finances in check, and then turnaround and drive 800 miles back to Washington for an 11 AM game on Saturday July 4th game.
If this were three years ago, no doubt I could do this trip. Heck, I could still probably pull it off now. However, the previous schedule has 3 different travel plans that I can cancel for just a few dollars, and save during the long run with time.
Also I was looking to help my buddy Scott finish up Yankee Stadium (which he will now do on Sunday July.19/2015 with me, He and I are also going to attend the AAA All Star Game in Omaha Nebraska, before heading to US Cellular and MIller Park for a couple of doubleheaders.
In all, the end result is only a loss of one game listed, to now make it a 216 game trek.
