Concerns

Image
The Padres got shut out at Colorado...shut out!  I am major worried when this kind of stuff happens... AGonzo whiffed 3 times ...yup thrice...that's our big bopper... So much for the oldies but goodies at the Masters ... Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter emerge and GB is so happy...a pint or two will be had in that area... Lefty and Tiger are but two back... high drama in Georgia ... Your Blazers ...they are not good...their PG Miller is terrible and selfish...have they ever made a hoop out of a timeout?  It took 4 quarters to figure out they needed to double the ugliest guy in hoops, Dirk N...as the Mavs finally beat PDX...one and done...hilarious foot note...the officiating appeared to be biased towards Dallas...but the only incensed people in the Rose G were the fans...and they were the ones ejected!  Where is your spine Nate?  Finally watched the tape of Idol ...outstanding performances...my favs were Goldilocks and Crystal...but nobody was bad...my take......

Masters Day 1

Image
The old codgers rule!  Freddy Couples and Tom Watson have their way with the course and are atop the leaderboard in this version of the Masters ...OK, the rest of the pack is crowding them, but this day is theirs...some real beauts to boot... Lefty, the Tank, and Tiger are lurking and it's far from over...just great golf TV... We were invited and went to meet the Prez. of Operations of the Padres last evening...real nice gesture as they are trying hard to win the public back over...the topic I got out of it?  AGonzo is too rich for our blood...here's the deal...if we get into contention, he'll stay, if we don't, he's gone... Have you followed LT out the door?  He has left no stone unturned as he blasts all that he left...good riddance... Do you like your Survivor ?  The dragon slayer got blind sided and is a goner...damn that Russell... Finally, can their be more hostile women on one show than those on the Housewives of New York ?  Can't they bring in ...

The Masters

Image
The grand daddy of them all...the Masters ...it's already going and we don't get to see it 'til later on...for all of the glory of it,  it is also steep in ugly...it's in the deep south and has kept that alive for a long time...finally, things have changed and , well, it's about time...but they control what's on, when, and why... Regardless of that all, it is beautiful and something I want to go to badly...that, the Kentucky Derby , and Nashville ...maybe next year? My favorite to win?  I think it's gotta be Ernie Els ...long and and on fire... Tiger ?  maybe... Lefty ?  Nope...he's been struggling....sit back and enjoy...talk about fast greens... The Padres ...poor outing by Kev Correa...gave up 4 taters and it's a loss...drats...nice game by brother Hairston... Watched a movie "Defiance" ...true story about WW 2...very well done and you have to see it... Idol ...big Mike got the boot...wait!...the judges gave a pardon and nobody left...

Wednesday Wreak Havoc

Not the place to be in the Quake of April. .. The Padres get their 1st with a marvelous outing by the REAL number 1 gun, Chris Young....only gave up one hit in 6...AGonzo and Veneble tatered...and ECab had 4 rbi's...nice stuff as Adams and Bell closed it out....now, that's more like it! In the ladies Big Dance, UConn finished it off and won ...perfect season...but...it was still not great hoops...I am not a chauvinist! The Masters ...all the hype is on how Tiger rolls...and he will...can he win?  Hey, he's the best on one leg...now he's got 'em both back...wouldn't bet against him... Blazer fans, you do know you could have had the Sonic's (sorry, Thunder's) Durant in lieu of Oden?  Right, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know... Well, the Black Jack seemed OK, but will it deliver in the real world?

A FANtastic game

Image
I calls 'em as I seez 'em....but Coach K and his Devils have to feel very lucky in this epic game...give a load of credit to the Butler Bulldogs on a near remarkable upset of Duke...reminded me of a John Roche led Churchill game out of the high school ranks of Orygun...ball control, great half court D, and every possession critical... I didn't like what I saw out of Arizona...the Padres started Jon Garland as their no. 1 guy and he is far from it...we looked scared and it hasn't been the way it's been for 3 weeks...oh well, just one game out of many...but... AGonzo had some good at bats and KB hit a monster in the 9th...newly departed Kooz had a huge error in the A's collapse... I can't tell you how many aftershocks I have felt... DWTS ...easily the Pussycat gal is the one...and get rid of Kate please...what a witch... Got me a new putter, the Black Jack ...$14.97...gotta be good, right?

Earthquake !!!  Not a fan...as we were walking the dog and sat on a rock bench...immediately the shaking began...actually more of a rocking and rolling...very unsettling and scary...as we watched everyone scuttle out of buildings it was for sure...a quake...and there have been a number of aftershocks...it's good we are but on  the 6th floor of a mid-rise...hate the idea of the 25th floor...and to make it worse, there is actually some rain in the area... Great finishes in the golf world... Anthony Kim in OT in the Shell, and Yani Tseng in the Desert...and now on to the best of the lot... the Masters ...high drama with the unveiling of the revamped Tiger...got to admit, it will be titillating....oops Tonight is the culmination of the Big Dance ...with Cinderella losing to the ever efficient Blue Devils...and through all of the previous games...this blogger had these two teams as highly probable winners... Duke ... And finally, it's opening day for the Padres ...I have read ...

Easter as I know it

Image
Dependent on your faith (if any)...oops, there I go, inflaming you non-believers... Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, 3 days after his crucifixion...which has carried it's symbol all this time to...nowadays...truly amazing, as the numbers have fallen of those who attend a church like area...with all the problems of certain religions and the like...it is a wonder that it still exists...but, in reality, commercialism has taken over...the eggs, the brunch, the clothes, the money making schemes...hey, I'm being real here...think of most of the holidays, they are perpetuated by the almighty dollar and the advertising of the same...for whatever you believe (or not), family is the most important part of this life...so whatever it takes, make it be this Easter Day, and believe in your family ... Speaking of believing, who could have done so with the underdogs, the over-achievers, the Cinderellas, the Hoosier like,... Butler squad getting to the finals of the Bi...
