Stock Market

Image
What is driving the latest instability in the stock market?  Tremendous fodder for the  republicans, that's for sure...couple of weeks ago it was the middle east, now it's the?  Help me Rhonda, I just don't get it... Speaking of the elephants...Mitt Romney thinks he can get the nod...I really doubt it...he drives his campaign with his own money, and is too far from the right of the Tea Party...I hate to tell you this, but, your gurl Sarah, is the front runner...heaven help us all...I want a viable candidate...this country always needs choices...so far, naw... The Pads are within a week from getting their prime time youngin'...Rizzo will come up and make an impact...what happens to Hawpe?  I hope they release him...bite the money blunder and leave the other rookies in the outfield...not so keen on the ability of the GM to the right thing...hey, got a win last night, 3-1...take any of 'em... The NBA playoffs so long and strung out...get on with it... 84* in Sal...

Big Dirk

Image
What broken finger?  The humongest collapse in the history of the NBA final series...no, not really, but it was a beaut...the Heat blow a big 15 point lead and lose at home to the Mavs...and how on earth, can you leave Big Dirk unguarded in the last 3 minutes of the game?  Ouch! I said it was over...had no idea the amount of tolerance this big guy can handle...so impressed... The Pads come home and promptly get beat by the lowly Astros...3 errors will do it...this is the bigs, boys... Off to Sycuan for an early round...

Tornado Alley

Image
Remember when there was a tornado alley ?  No longer...the phenomena of mother nature has put those awful happenings throughout this land...and now in Massachusetts ?  The unsettling weather pattern has twisted up this nation...figuratively... Shaq Daddy has retired...well...he was a very dominant player in his time...my problem is...he got away with being a brute...I blame it on the inept officiating...if they would have called him for the extreme hacking he would have adapted...they didn't and he didn't... The Mavs are in it for the deep... Big Dirk has a broken finger on his left hand...pretty much kills any chance they have against the Heat ...sorry, kids, it's over... Real facts about the Padres ... the Trib keeps bringing up the fact that SD plays much better on the road...15-12 on the road, 9-20 at home...the cold, hard facts are... the Pads lead the MAJORS in striking out ...by a lot....and the Pads are last, yup last, in the MAJORS for on base perce...

Tickle Me Tuesday

Image
Just a lot of tantalizing thoughts, on this tickled up, tangy, tempting, trendy Tuesday... The Pads have won 3 in a row...using the likes of the rookies to drive the offense... It just looks like your gurl Sarah is going to be the repub candidate... Mavs at the Heat in game one...sorry, but Miami is big time fav... Snooki in a fender bender with the Italia poliz...oops... The pick six at Hollywood hit for a cool $126 grand... 6 days 'til Rizzo brought up...so says CH...count 'em... If your star player drives a BMW, maybe it could cause a stir in collegiate football... Finally, Ohio St. fb coach Tressel, calls it quits... Your fav gals, the Kardashians, are just a bit too much...right? Does it look like AGonzo is all world while playing for the Red Sox? Off to me work out...

Glee live...the Review

Image
As most of you know, we see many, many concerts...and the latest was last night at the Sports Arena ... Glee Live ...I'm going to give it a B ...the singing was outstanding, the production was great, the sound was near perfect...so why just a B?  There was very little talk to the crowd, odd as they are all actors...it was concert short, 70 minutes... not enough Lea ... BUT , it is clearly obvious that a couple of the others are dang good...hey, it was a good time...and the audience was made up of all ages and sexes... glad we went ... So the hot topic around the baseball world is this collision play at home plate ...sure the purists say, leave it be...the main player's viewpoint centered around if the catcher was man enough to take a blow for the team ...however, ESPN showed many clips of how the catchers made that same play on Sunday...and NO ONE stayed and blocked....it was all off to the side and lunge, swipe, or, body up... I did get a Kodak Play sport ...it is takin...

Silly Quote

I am not kidding when I say that the abolishment of the unprotected, brutal, taking out of the catcher in baseball, must be done.  The trib writer, today said it should stay...as I said  yesterday, you put your fat ass down there and take the hit ...shame on you... Every major league team wins 60 games ...the good ones will win about 100...guess where the Pads are headed...however, SD did get a win at Washington...2-1, of course, with a couple of the new add ons from Triple A getting the offensive power done... The upcoming finals are set to start on Tuesday in the NBA... pulling for the Mavs ...and that is hard to do...but...the Heat are the prohibitive fav in my mind...so, like a bunch of us, will pull for the underdog... I've gotten bit by the puzzle bug from the newspaper...the one that has the numbers in it...very taxing and yet, believe it, fun... Been looking for a compact video camera ....down to a Kodak or a Toshiba...it's like the computers...they get better...
