CRAZY HORSE

Any of you out there caught up in the latest solitaire craze ?  Sudoku ...it's a numbers game that has degrees of difficulty...yup, I'm addicted...it's in the Trib and I attack it every morning...about 60% accuracy...maybe more like 3 out of 4, so 75%...I leave the Sunday version out, as it has way too many squares... It's that time of year where the MLB managers get their pink slips...it's easier for the clubs to fire their guys , rather than their players...so Houston , Florida , the Cubs , the Mets , the Dodgers , Seattle , Oakland , KC , Baltimore , and the Pads ... your jobs are in jeopardy ...unless, you get more to the meat of the bone, the GM's... the Cubs booted theirs...maybe the SD brass will get rid of their play station GM ...managing in the Bigs is a cush job...kind of...they all do the same thing...it's managing the egos that is the issue...not so much the game... Keeping it real...I didn't see the DBacks in the hunt...at t...

Another crash like day in the market ...over 400 ...still wonder why all this is tied up to the European market ...I'm pretty much at a loss for it all...can somebody clue me in? A number of you are telling me it's near impossible to comment on this blog...here's the key, you must get yourself a google account ...and voila it will pop easily... Snooki is complaining that he is the only one commenting...deal is that we are similar in our beliefs...I'll try to be more controversial... As I said yesterday, you must download the best of Ruby and the Romantics ... yup, it's that good ... The Padres ...probably the most talented of their starting pitchers, Matt Latos ...lost again...he's been the benefactor of horrendous offense...in his 11 losses, the Pads have scored 10 runs... TOTAL ...there is an article in the Trib today about the SD Brass talking that it's the paying customers that are so faithful...and the reason for the tube's decline...we...

Eddie Holman ...do you remember "Hey There Lonely Girl" ...pretty much a 70's classic that had a lot of people singing very high soon after...he was a lead singer for some other groups and then went his solo way...had some other hittish songs, but none like his famous one...he's still a singing and is a Baptist Minister, to boot.... BUT ...did you know the song was really, "Hey There Lonely Boy" and he changed it?  Yup, so true...it was originally put out by this little group with a humongous smash "Our Day Will Come" ... Ruby and the Romantics ...in fact, I had this album and I think Snook stole it from me...I digress...disc it up if you can find it...and tell me if it's not one of the top 100 of all time... Voices of the Everly Brothers ...in their prime went in to the army and put the duo's hits on hold...never really recovered... BUT ...had a boat load of big ones prior...the best?  "All I Have To Do Is Dream" ...top ten ...

Can you imagine swatting 600 home runs in the bigs?  You have to last like 20 years or so...yup, it happened...a guy who lived through the steroid age and was not one of them...I'm talking Jim Thome ...who last night got two more and hit the unbelievable level...600...he's now with the Twins ...been with the Indians , White Sox , Phillies , Dodgers , and now, with Minnie ...fantastic! Staying with beisbol... the Pads are without the strength that they started with at the beginning of the year... the play station GM , got rid of the top 3 set up guys and duh, got beat again in the end...boo... OMG , the Bachelor Pad ...the producers resorted to the ugliest of all games ...throw colored eggs at the least attractive people...what?  There's got to be a loon loose in the idea guys on that show...and Vienna and her boy toy...is this real?  OMG ... started with an OMG and finished with an OMG...very good writing... I hate to harp on this...but the Bachman thing c...

Geez, I was alive with three horses in the pick 5 ....3 is good...real good... BUT ...not to be...my horses came in 2nd and 3rd...would have been something to hit it twice in the past week...make it worse, I hit the 6th...dang it...still, took money away and it was way fun... Del Mar ... Let me be perfectly clear... Michelle Bachman is a very poor candidate for the presidency... she refuses to honor what she has said in the past ...hey, own it...or say, I was wrong...but don't evade it...I want another viable candidate to choose from... and, she is just a terrible option...get to work, Repubs and get a decent choice... or you and your secret society will still be just that... What's the stock market doing today?  Europe was up, thus we are? The Pads are back home...surviving the Reds and now, take on the Mets ...so when does Rizzo make his reappearance? It's been unseasonably mild here...huge contrast to that of New York...and, my oh my...why all the celebri...

Sure, it's not a positive thing...but needs to be mentioned...a record of sorts... giving up 8 home runs in your last 2 starts ... the Padre's Tim Stauffer ...here's my thing... he's struggling (duh) ...and the management leaves him out there... NOBODY else does that...should pull him...rest him...and give him a go after a bit...instead, they wreck him...and say crap like "let's turn the page"... OMG! Oh, you may not like this ...but I can't imagine a more despicable candidate than Michelle Bachman ...she wins the straw vote in Iowa...really?  So, you are saying that 27% of those repubs feel that she is the new leader of their party...really?  Don't they ever watch her interviews?  OMG! Do you remember how big the Heisman Trophy winner , the Auburn star , the highly shopped collegiate athlete, Cam Newton , seemed last season?  He looks like a smallish QB in the pros...and didn't look that bad in his first exhibition game... The PGA ...
