Tiger...Again

Image
The dismantling of a star and his system...I'm talking Tiger Woods ...he's lost his wife, his coach, his game, and now...he casts aside the one guy who was his great protector on the golf course, for 13 years, his caddie... "Stevie" Williams ...let's talk Tiger for awhile here...he was the guy that made you watch tourneys...he had the it factor... Arnie type if you will...had the ability to make a great shot out of nowhere...and string together many rounds that would win each and every event he was in...yet, there was another side to him...he was very private and got the demands of a superstar...he got away with it...there were other rumors of things, ie steroids...but nothing was proven...it's just a puzzler, and like most golf aficionados, I'd like him back, the way he was... Break up the Padres!  They throw a 14 spot on the dazed Marlins ...shoot, that's normally 7 games worth of runs...in my haste the other day, I briefly mentioned other disa...

Feldman

It was a Feldman day, yesterday... the Padres shut out the Marlins, not, the other way around... Bill Maher actually did some complaining on the Prez O ...the NFL lockout appears to be evaporating...there was zero wind on the beach , as we basked in the awesome sun...she read her Kindle and I listened to my Ipod .... the stock market did a huge one day jump... UP ... Comic-con ...there is this phenomena that erupts here this weekend at the convention center...it is all about the comic book world...in print, screen, and live...and there are so many of the followers dress up like their favorite characters...I'm serious when I say there are a million of them at the GQ ...and dang it all, I'm going to miss it... Also starting, but today...is the Del Mar Racing Season ...I have gone to opening day and it is a zoo...everyone dresses to the hilt, gals in dresses and hats, guys in sport coats and top hats...and huge lines everywhere...it is the place to be...I will wait ...

The Masterz

Image
Once in a great time I must write about a golf tourney that a small group of us started about 7 years ago...give or take a year... The Masterz ... Rick Ziebell, Larry Morris, and I, Crazy Horse , founded this little scramble format...and it has survived thanks to them...and their wives...and now, amongst others, it has expanded so much that is a major event in that area...it is held at McNary Golf Course in Keizer, Oregon ...for you unaware peops, about an hour south of the huge city of Portland...which is NOT the capital of the state, Salem is...anyhoo, I have found a way to mosey back up there to participate in it again...we had so much going on that it seemed like a long shot...should be great fun, as I seez it... I have felt sorry long enough for the pitiful Padres ...it is the truth that this team would have a tough time scoring on any pitcher that throws harder than 85 mph...give us the soft tosser and we kick their behinds...but, I must commiserate with the likes of KC, Ho...

Darren the Dude

Image
Darren Clarke , the dude who won the British Open ...hitting the knock down shots with precision...and taking advantage of one bad swing by Dustin Johnson ...and withstood the charge by Lefty ...I can't believe this is his 1st major...anyhoo, great job, bloke! You know, I'm not a fan of low scoring sports games ...thus, soccer is not a fav...but the interest in the US versus Japan was intriguing...the US had many shots on goal that could have won this...but, the Japanese found a way to survive and then win it in the goal shooting OT...it's like playing a game for 2 hours or so, and then have a free throw contest to decide the victor...goofy stuff in my book...staying on the low scoring theme...the ugly Pads found another way to lose...this time, by a SUICIDE SQUEEZE!  What are we in, high school?  And the lack of ability to throw anyone out...well, that is not major league now, is it... Trade bait...it is written, the likes of Heath Bell and Mike Adams, figu...

Charge

Image
I didn't give him a lick of a chance...and he has been wallowing about for a year...and suddenly, he has found his game...and in a monstrous way...in the final round of the British Open... Lefty, Phil , FIGJAM...yup, that guy...well...he still has a battle with the awesome tourney fav, Darren Clarke ...really good fun... Mickelson ...like 9 holes to go as I write this... Regardless of how you feel, Casey Anthony , is finally free from an on again off again, 3 year jail stay...where she goes is out there...many say she needs to flee Florida... Wow... the Pads win 11-3 over the Giants ...just like the line said it would happen...and get this, they are favored again today...I don't get it... Horse racing returns to Del Mar this week...yea!  I usually get to the track about once a week...opening day is kind of a zoo...so I try to miss it...hot rumor is that Oak Tree may run their season this year here, too... Could you see JLo getting a divorce?  I suppose that it...
