CRAZY HORSE

Just when you thought things couldn't have gotten worse... Jake   Peavy  was put on the DL for a rumored 2 months!  Couple that with a horrendous showing at the Angels and there is gloom and doom in Padreville ...a bright spot is that Kooz has started to hit... So I got the Macbook and I am going through the learning curve ...so far it is screaming fast! You have to feel good about our election process when you see what Iran goes thru... The line on the Lakers / Magic game is 3 for Orlando... Enjoy the sun ...

OMG Stan VanGundy ! You have a PG who is giving the Lakers fits and you sub in your oft injured, tiny, slow Jameer Nelson ...and stick with him from the mid 3rd quarter on...and have Derek Fisher shoot over him to lead LA to the massive game 4 win to all but cinch the title for the Lakers ... what were you thinking ? Sarah Palin ...why on earth would you respond to David Letterman's jokes about your family? Wait a minute...you're a poor politician and you have to have the stage and now you have it...you get to go on the Today show...unfortunately to show your ignorance... what were you thinking ? Brian Leaf ...the much maligned former QB of Wash St . who found he could not play in the NFL...and turned to drugs and all and bolted the country ...what were you thinking ? The Republican Party ...you have sunk to new depths having let the public think your leader is Rush Limbaugh ... what were you thinking ? Tim Floyd ...who resigned his USC hoops job before he got nailed for...

The line on this game has dropped to 2 1/2 favoring Orlando... Kobe usually has a huge game after an off showing... take the points and LA ... There are dispicable hate mongers out there...and every once in a while they rear their ugly head ...as it happened yesterday at the Holocaust Museum in DC .... The Padres looked like a tough group yesterday in their 3-1 win over the Dodgers in LA ... Correia and the pen stood up to the task ... We watched Woodstock yesterday and it was so fascinating how those times were...imagine that half way around the world people were blowing each other up ... Teach your children well...

Parity is what they call it...the worst team drafts first ...unless they trade that away and then the hard part comes ...because they are probably one of the poorest teams in the league and that's one of the reasons why they are the worst...then they try to sign their top draft with the least amount of money in all of baseball....let's look at what the top pick, Stephen Strasburg and his agent , expect to get paid for signing.... $50 mill ...the Padres entire payroll for the year is about $40 ... for the entire team ...so what's the chance of the parity happening? Now I know that it's the Washington Nationals who have the option of signing him... but ... The Padres picked 3rd and drafted a high school CF out of Georgia ...he has the same agent that runs Strasburg... The Padres lost to the Dodgers last night as Kooz shows he is not a major league hitter , that CYoung is a gopher ball pitcher , that Clay Meredith has no right being in the big leagues , that th...

can a team slap you in the face and you not respond ? Finally Kevin Kouzmanoff delivered after a MLB team walked AGonzo 3 times to get to Kooz ...twice he had knocks for 4 rbi's and definitely was the hitting hero for the Pads last night... Peavy back to his old self and got the win... HBell got the save in a shaky showing... Now it's on to LA for the Dodgers then the Angels ...the pundits have the Pads taking a beating.... Interesting line on tonight's game number 3 in the NBA finals ...the Magic is favored by 4...the guys who do this for a living are seldom wrong ... I said I wasn't going to watch it....but I turned the Bachelorette back on and was ticked off at myself for doing so... she has a bunch of losers to pick from ... Have you been following the Italian trial on the young USA student charged with murder there? Something seems fishy ... Is it just me or why hasn't the press jumped all over the fact that the stocks have been in a steady climb ...

Certain super athletes have it... Michael Jordan, Annika Sorrenstam, Jack Nicklaus, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Arnold Palmer, Peyton Manning, Kevin Kouzmanoff (oops) , amongst others and Tiger Woods ...as he comes back to win the Jack's Memorial Tournament from 5 back....it is a mystique that continues to build...his last two holes to clinch it were phenomenal.... Our Padres made a Tiger comeback only to finally lose in 16 or so innings to the Diamondbacks ...ended up using a shortstop as a pitcher 'cuz we ran out of regular guys...only in San Diego.... The times have changed so much in purchasing a car . Leasing has become a viable alternative and there is so much less haggling going on. We ran into a super Honda dealership in Rancho Cordova and the son got an Accord Coupe ... Off to the links ...

The hardest thing to do in sport is race 1 and 1/2 miles...fast and well...be a horse...the Belmont Stakes usually destroys normal horses and brings the real sturdy ones to the forefront...the winner of the Kentucky Derby , Mine that Bird , was favored to win, but the distance took it's toll... How about those Padres who beat the DBacks as Headley finally got the start at 3B... It's late and I'm a tired doggie ...
