CRAZY HORSE

So a bunch of blue thoughts of last night's loss to the Dodgers... the attendance was  over 42,000 , apparently a goodly portion rooting for the disgusting Bums ... had CGwynn held onto the ball hit by Kemp, this would have been a W ... skipper J Torre used his old recipe to handle AGonzo ...intentionally walk him and use lefties to baffle the slugger ...and put no respect on Headley. .. LA's number 2-4 hitters are mighty good.... Manny looked real big again... when is the last time he has been tested for roids?  (again).... Why is Hundley catching over Torrieba ?  Why was ancient Stairs in LF instead of S Hairston ? Big night for the Pads tonight,  contenders or pretenders ? Kind of a lost in the sports world is horse racing ...the coveted triple crown for the 3 year olds continues today with the 2nd round at the Preakness ...hot jock Calvin Borel is aboard the KD winner and is trying for leg number dos... Soooooper Saver. ... Off to the li...

So we watched "This Is It" last night...spectacular...what a talent that was lost... Michael Jackson could still do the amazing and he obviously was a victim of the drug overdose thing...tragic... fate Did you watch your Survivor ?  Evil Russell (the rat) did it again...this time to fan favorite Rupert ( my pick)...can he beat Parvati?... fickle  The Padres go 3 1/2 up on the Giants!  Matt Latos threw a one hitter and complete game...and the winning RBI to boot...no resting on your laurels as they host the feared Dodgers starting tonight...we got tix for today and Sunday... fantastic Do you ever catch the witches of New York ?  OMG the show is all about the rich and wannabee famous , how truly ugly they are inside...they have all the $ in the world and they are the most hurtful people in the world...at least they pick on each other... fake Actually it's more frivolous than freaky ... NBA playoffs ...loooong and booooring....and the Cavs get ousted by th...

So did you like your last night version of Idol ?  The final three comes down to who I had predicted.... Crystal (pictured), Lee, and Goldilocks ...with the outcome surely in doubt...the best always wins?  Not really, case in point when the silver headed guy beat K McPhee, and last season, when whatever his name is, beat Adam Lambert...really, it is so hard to get radio time if you win or not...the best audience is the country one, pop is the worst...that's why Kelly Clarkson's success is so amazing...Carrie is just great and that's all there is to that...can any of the three make it?  Really tough call... Watched a PBS documentary on Jim Morrison and the Doors ...if you haven't seen it you must...they were together 4 and 1/2 years and his demise ended their reign...he was on a dead end mission from the beginning of his tenure with the band...so tragic as their sound was unbelievable... The Padres ...this blogger forcasted the  emergence of this group, as you kn...

Seems like your girl Sarah has created quite a stir in her proposed speaking engagement at CSU Stanislaus ....it just happens to be a state run school...which like all the rest have caution flags all over any undo spending...oops!...somehow her fee for the talk has caught the eye of most everyone not too thrilled to have her in the yard...and the perks that she gets for getting there...airfare, hotel, feed, and oh yea, the probable $100, 000 for the oratory splendor...think the University isn't about to get jiggy...stay tuned for this one... HUGE win for the Padres at SF last night....the team that is giving them the most competition for number 1....yet, with all the success that is going on...what is the Trib ranting about?  Not enough production from the OF...it's true, but the timing is not good... typical non-athlete crap from wannabees ...more positive, Wade LeBlanc continues his mastery of the mound... DWTS ...it had to be either Niecy or Ochocinco...so the for...

So I have felt he was the best ever. ..and nobody has captured the essence of golf excitement as well as anyone since Arnold Palmer as Tiger Woods ...but the mighty has fallen from his perch atop the pedestal...without a doubt, the press has more leeway than ever before...and what we knew of the old stars was probably sugar coated ...not now, if you have done something, everyone knows it...with the lens on the mobile phone clicking everywhere ...the hero tag may be a thing of the past... Tiger ...the well documented chick magnet episodes...the cursing whenever...the leave me alone attitude...and now...the fallen hero is falling further...he tried, but...he actually quits due to a neck spasm...his coach gives up on him... where is this going? Griffey Jr.   at the end of his career...he is relegated to a pinch hitter role back at his famed stomping grounds with the Seattle Mariners...in the middle of a game last week, goes back to get a jacket and falls asleep in his rocking chai...

So do you understand your stock market ?  Me, not so much...as we witnessed the downturn last week, including the 1000 point mid-day drop...fear gripped us again...as the naysayers said, "see I told you"...and we go through the process of putting our money in "safe" spots...then give yourself the weekend, and!  poof the market corrects itself over 400 points...the experts say the downer happened due to the European market....and then without them knowing, the Euro has a bailout , and up back comes their market, thus ours... Strange day for the Padres ...1st the scheduled starter gets a family emergency (his younger collegiate brother died}, and departs...the replacement guy is coming off a recent blown game...he actually does well, including driving in the go ahead runs...then watches in frustration as the pen struggles and gives up some runs...many of the normal starters are rested as we play our "B" team...and then give the game away on a routin...

Nothing like the wonderful world of sports on the mother of all mother's days...unfortunately, our son is in the midst of moving to their new spread in mid-town Sac, and can not be with his mommy this grand day...so a recent pic must suffice... The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.... Jim McKay's voice covering a myriad of positives and negatives... The Padres continue their romp through the Bigs with another win at Houston, insuring them of their 6th series win in the last seven...kudos to the pitching staff led by Jon Garland...who now seems like the ace that Bud thought he was... I know you get tired of me banging the gong on the NBA playoffs , but aren't they the longest and most boring of all time?  The Magic and the Lakers are cakewalking past their rivals and well.....yawn... Not boring is the Player's in Florida ...well, you have to like golf...foreigner Lee Westwood hangs on for dear life as the Americanos are throwing darts at him...the scribes ...
