So.dae I started digging around a bit. Looked up Cecconi's recent starts, how he does on the road, that kind of stuff. Then checked out the Padres lineup, who's hot, who's not, how they handle pitchers like him. Spent a good hour or so just clicking around, making some notes. Felt like I was getting somewhere, putting a little picture together in my head.

Just when I .deid was about to really settle in, maybe put a couple bucks down just for fun, the whole thing went sideways. My internet just completely died. Totally dead. Lights bl.daed dinking on the modem, the whole nine yards. Tried restarting it, unplugging it, waited like ten minutes. Nothing. Just stone cold dead.
Okay, fine, I thought, I'll just use my phone hotspot. Fired that up. Signal was terrible. One bar, maybe two if I stood by the window just right. Tried loading the betting site, took forever. By the time it loaded, the odds had shifted, or maybe the game had already started, I don't even know. It was just lagging like crazy. Absolutely useless.
I spent probably another half hour wrestling with this tech nightmare. Rebooted the phone, toggled airplane mode, the usual tricks. Still crap. I could barely even get a simple news page to load, forget about streaming or checking live game stuff.
- Router reset: Failed
- Phone hotspot: Too slow
- Checking updates: Impossible
Eventually, I just gave up. Tossed the phone on the couch. The whole mood was ruined anyway. What started as a little analytical exercise, a bit of fun, turned into this frustrating battle with technology. I didn't even bother trying to find out the final score later on. What was the point? The whole practice session was a wash because of some stupid internet outage.
So yeah, that was my experience with the Cecconi vs Padres thing. Didn't even get to see how my thoughts on it panned out. Just another reminder that sometimes you try to do something simple, and the world finds a way to make it annoying. Always something blocking you, you know?
