CRAZY HORSE

Was the sinking of the 3 that beat Orlando ...with only a second to do so! LeBron James did what super players are supposed to do...win games with last second shots...the Magic almost stole 2 at Cleveland , and puts this series in the tossup mode... The Padres win their 7th straight behind Jake Peavy's flawless outing 4-0, this time against the Chicago Cubs ...yes the same club that swept the Pads 2 weeks ago...timely hitting and the new guy, Tony Gwynn Jr ., getting a 2b that helped the Pads score early... AGonzo hit a tater... Kooz struck out 3 times... just had to say it... The timing of the announcement of the possible trade of Peavy irked more than just this blogger... the players were irate with the Towers deal...citing " the nature of the business " they fell back into a wonder of why... Kevin Towers is a piece of crap ...and I mean worse... Over in the MWC tourney it is down to the Utes and the Aztecs for the title this am... Strasburg is not sta...

So Slappy says..."What's the big deal with the sell off of all the high priced Padres ? So what if you try to move the $59 mill (over many years ) star pitcher Jake Peavy ...so what if you trade (?) your $1.8 mill OF Jody Gerut for a bargain basement OF...so what if everyone knows in the league that you can have any Padre for the right price ...so what? Isn't that the same thing that Arnold (the Governor) is doing to the state? Isn't he doing the same type of fire sale to the state owned property? Selling off anything the state owns ...like the LA Coliseum or the Del Mar fairgrounds ... Has he ever talked about reducing his and his cabinet's salaries ? Has Kevin Towers ever talked about reducing his salary to help out? " The Padres rallied to win their 6th straight last night amidst all of the turmoil caused by Towers ...just shows the grit of the players ...speaking of rallies, the Aztecs scored 8 in the 8th and came back and beat the Utes in th...

Peavy rejected the trade...FIRE TOWERS NOW!!!

JAKE PEAVY TRADED ! The Padres management...the awful Kevin Towers continues to dismantle the SD team with more of his unforgivable moves . This time for 4 prospects from the Chicago White Sox ...the only way this does not happen is if Peavy rejects the deal, as he has a no-trade clause ... GET RID OF TOWERS!!!!

Rod Stewart ! After his near fall (twice) he clearly showed that he was the master of vocality in his warbling of Maggie May ...and my oh my the bikini girl got upstaged by Kara and her stunning rendition of Mariah's song ...and how about stripping in front of millions!... now that's what I'm talking about ...what final show wouldn't be complete without Tatianna ?...is it not what I have said for some time that Kris (the winner ) sounds exactly like Keith Urban ...OK, let's get real here...it's a great show that young people get to be found and not by some record producer... Adam (the loser ) clearly has the most unique sound I've heard from this show ...and by losing he doesn't have to sing that horrible Idol song for the next year... Kris has to go country and has a real shot there...a bit back I said I was hoping the vote is not determined by possible lifestyles...it may have been, but the southern vote has dominated 6 out of the 8 seasons thi...

For those of you out there who were mortified by yesterday's results on Dancing With The Stars. ........ Shawn Johnson (Olympian) won the Mirror Ball Trophy over Cheryl Burke ...a sham was immediately proclaimed! The San Francisco Giants squandered all those hits and got beat 2-1 by the Padres ....the visitors proclaimed umpire bias ... The Nuggets played their hearts out and got beat out by the Lakers in LA ... Denver felt that the refereeing favored the home team... Kobe one ups Melo ... Did you watch your American Idol ? Adam and Kris squared off and don't be surprised by the outcome...was the special Idol song the worst or what? Both of them had trouble with it and whoever the winner is DON'T RELEASE IT !... Wooah wooah wooah .... OK let's get real here... any of the three could have won DWTS and deserve it ...the Pads have been playing so much better in the last week... Kobe is amazing ... if Adam doesn't win the Idol he still will be a huge star...

So I am stumbling about and run into this guy who says he is part of a Doo-Wop group and they really need some representation. Not one to shy away from a challenge I say that it really interests me. 4 months later I run into this guy again and he says we have unfinished business to tend to...long story short I go to their rehearsal and am... BLOWN AWAY !!! The fact is they are a 6 person group that has a repertoire of over 40 songs ...so this old boy is tinkering with the idea of doing this gig... the Royals of SD ...check them out at sdroyals.com .... Did you watch the Dancing With the Stars final? Any of the three could win...totally depends on the voting public...my preference is Cheryl Burke and whoever... American Idol ...down to the liberals and the conservatives... Adam vs. Kris ...if Adam picked a running mate it would be the red headed 4th place finisher, and Kris would pick that gal from Alaska... Palin .... The Padres host the Giants tonight with the plan of u...

So after my delivery of the corporation Halliburton's journey through Nigeria , the real story that caught the public's eye was their involvment in Iraq . Most everything I have read has put the corporation above board, but REAL shady ...to recap, former VP Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton from 1995- 2000, just prior to him taking office in the Bush regime...his successor was convicted of improprieties and was jailed for the company's problems in Nigeria ...fast forward now to 9/11/2001...as the US was attacked by Bin Laden and his followers, the US went after him for retaliation...problem is that it is a band of terrorists and not a country...so the Bush regime picks out Iraq as the benefactor of our anger ..."they have weapons of mass destruction" and in we went... Here is where it gets interesting ...shortly after the military gets in Iraq there is a need for set-up and upkeep of military bases there...a company is needed to do such a thing...th...

I saw a wonderful piece on Rick Adelman , coach of the Houston Rockets . As they face a do or be gone game vs. the Lakers at LA ....the piece is that Adelman would be considered an all time coach if it were not for his nemesis, Phil Jackson ...as Adelman beautifully guided teams from Portland , Sacramento , and now Houston, HE ONLY GOT BEAT by Jackson's Bulls and Lakers ...I know that from following the Blazers ... Adelman and Jack Ramsey were the best coaches that PDX ever had... Kobe and the Lakers are going to continue that trend as they will put away the Yao-less Rockets ...the Celtics square off in game 7 vs. the Magic and also will survive... We went over and caught the Padres / Reds game last night. Sat in the front row in RF and narrowly missed a HR ball that BGiles hit in the 1st...anyway, the Pads won in the 16th on a walk-off HR by Hundley ... just what do you do for a 5 hr. game ? Walk back home and watch from your couch ... What a piece of crap A...
