What me worry?

The Duck season begins in full earnest today in Eugene , where it never rains on game day...and the fodder for the Quackers is the abysmal group from New Mexico ...you'll see...they have this new coach that has zero, yup zero, followers...there is a past.... The Beavs are in Texas taking on TCU ...first time out of the chute...I'm hoping that OSU gets started fast...the key... OK, it is panic mode for the Pads ...the only positive is that the Giants are about as inept... 8 straight losses for SD ...the youngster that went last night was Rockie bait...and why on earth is Ludwig batting 4th?  His swing is awful...upper cut and a complete bust...just being honest... Torreabla and Denorfia should be 4 and 5...pressing?  You betcha... Oh my, the Tiger is wallowing about the bottom, as everyone else is tearing the course apart in New England...just so weird to see him this way... it's like trying to follow LiLo go about her nightly excursions... So the panel for ...

So let the games begin

So you just don't beat the Utes on a Thursday...and Pitt has got to get into the 21st century with their O... USC is not the Trojans of old...good luck all you fans...Lane is a beauty and you are stuck with him for awhile...ouch... The Pads meet and greet the Rockies tonight...it's the first of a ten game home stand...to tell you that this is the season is an understatement...we have a rookie pitcher going tonight...and Colorado is fresh off a big loss to the Phillies...but then, who isn't? I do not like tennis viewing, and like the players even less... Big Bro...bye bye Reagan... The CMT nominations are out...I like Miranda Lambert and all, but she's not the best...and who on earth votes?  Lady A, now I know this is real... How can North Carolina possibly defend themselves for the mess they are in... Keeping with that theme...Massoli going anywhere is a joke... So the last game of the 4 game NFL exhibition season concludes...and nobody plays any of their studs....

Terrific Thursday

I have decided to take the up side...my trip to Del Mar was not monetarily beneficial...I was in line for the pick 3, with only a 50 to 1 shot standing in my way...gulp...it won and I didn't... The woeful Pads have now lost 7 in a row...but a day off and a new hurler will spot up the problem tomorrow at home... The Bolts play their final pre-season game tonight at SF...seems like all the heat in all sports is from the Bay Area... The foo who would risk all those people in DC was a just that, a foo... Can anyone please explain the stock market to me... I love being in the city and watching the world move around me... My golf got canceled today, and am feeling good about the game right now...not because I'm off, but, I'm just playing better... Did you watch your Big Brother last night?  If anyone tells you that gals don't have a bigger pull than bros, you be crazy... Fan fest from the south...Carrie is amazing, to borrow the Bachelorette's word... Saw the Hou...

Foooooballl

I know it's only the 1st set of games ...but it's a doozy ...the Horned Frogs versus the Beavers ...it's in Texas and the line is...get this 13 1/2 for TCU !!!  Well, if I were in Vegas and I was a betting man, I'd take all those points and OSU in a heart beat...got a couple of my old players playing for the State team, Jordan Bishop and Jordan Jenkins ...go Beavs and get 'er done... USC at Hawaii ...not a fan of the new coach and you never know what is lurking over in the Islands... Arizona at Toledo ...one of the Stoops boys...goes into Ohio and the stormy weather... New Mexico at the Dux ...yup, I am a super fan of the Orygun team...new QB...a whole lot of promise on the horizon... Washington at BYU. ..look for the Huskies to be greatly improved and will be a contender...the Cougs are old and , well, old, and old....good riddance from the MWC... Boise St . at Virginia Tech ...Monday nighter and a great one... WSU at Oky St ...curious here as th...

Slump

You see this guy?  Heath Bell ...he's the Pad's closer...we have been so out of the last 5 games...that he hasn't been included...disparaging thoughts here...the good thing is that the 2nd place Giants are slumping also...but the Rockies are closing the gap...interesting division... OK, here's my scoop...2 things need to be corrected...1st of all, LeBlanc , needs to be replaced as our 5th starter...puss balls and everyone hits him...2nd, we need to get back to advancing runners into scoring position ...both of these are managerial type of things...get 'er done... It's the last week for Del Mar ...I'm thinking tomorrow will be my day...going to look at the pick 6 and hit it...well...never have before... Finally hit the links yesterday...drove the ball real well...time off helps my timing in that area...the chipping another matter...86...not bad...you know, Sycuan is tough...it was fun, fun, fun... Too much vino last night as we met new friends on the...

Monday Stuff

Did you like your Emmy's?   Jimmy Fallon was a blast as host and was a pleasant surprise...his opening skit set the stage, so to speak... Winners?   I never can figure out who actually votes...does this process have the same influence as politicians?   Is there money being thrown at the voters?  I'm just asking... I can't believe I am writing about this... your celebrity darling , Paris Hilton , gets busted for cocaine in Vegas...says it wasn't hers...a plea she has used before...she thinks, and maybe justifiably, she's above any law...'cuz she's of money... there I go again... I respect people voicing their opinions ...even Glen Beck ...but when it is splitting the country apart, or, at least polarizing it ...I question the motive...but, there are a whole lot of people that believes what he does... just not me... Runaway train...I'm talking the Pads as they are skidding down the runway...without anything to stop them...the hitting has been atro...

Beat by own game

The loss to the Phillies is an alarming one ...how alarming?  Well, it is a long term one...maybe...still hanging on to a 6 game lead ...and...you want to play better at the end of the year...but, this isn't the end of the year...but... we have to hit with guys on ...and the key guys need to be playing in these type of games... Torrealba is an important piece to our puzzle...he's the legit number 5 hitter and is needed to get these wins... Philly is winning by bunting guys over and getting the hit thereafter...we aren't getting that type of hit...and on the mental side of things...there is as many Phillie phans as ours...seated next to us was the enemy...and I asked if they were from Philadelphia ...the answer...live here now, but were from Pennsylvania... we have yet to establish a home crowd... Have you been following the Glen Beck bull crap?  Is he part of the Tea Party?   Is he a Mormon?   If so, does that qualify for your Christianity sticker?  Are y...
