You'd figure it would happen more often on the east coast....much warmer water...and it takes just that to create the major storms...did you see the video of the dock in Florida , where the wave injured 8 incredibly stupid peops?  NYC has had such a bizarre set of weather patterns lately...and, of course, because all the major networks are based there...we witness 'em...now...the storm...I have a feeling it's going to bypass all the major land masses... Baseball talk...the resurgence of the DBacks has been fun...and I figured it would happen... the newly deported (fired) GM of the Padres , Kevin Towers ...who now fills the same role in Arizona. ..is TAKING CREDIT for it...what?  He made one trade ...the 3B strike out crazy Reynolds...for a couple of relievers...and he takes the praise, self imposed, for re-hiring the manager and his staff... gag ...the group was intact and ready to blossom... boo ...OK, maybe he's smart enough to leave it alone... but, shut th...

September 3

I have put off talking about this... the game of the year ...and it's the 1st one...against the LSU bunch...in Texas Stadium...a lot of folks around here say that LSU will have the crowd dominance...not so fast Californians... the Ducks travel well...or, so say the bowl peops...the talk... LSU has had a boat load of off field issues, not that the Ducks haven't...but not as many... the Tigers are not smitten with their head coach... the Ducks lurve theirs...both teams are soooo fast...all eyes are on this one...September 3rd...9 days away...the line? Imagine this...you have won 5 straight...the youngins are thinking this is the change...and then you get news that your veteran closer has been claimed... OFF WAIVERS ...more crap again from the play station GM, Jed Hoyer ... the Padres go out and play like the old Pads and lose... coincidence?   The hunted...as I have been saying... the Libyans have pretty much destroyed the Gadhafi regime...and now they are going d...

What Would You Do

Hey, I'm not sure...going back to the ending of the famous sitcom, "Seinfeld" , where the fab 4 watched as the hefty fellow was robbed and they took a film of it....and laughed...a real life situation came about in NYC...surprise surprise surprise...where a very famous actor...of "The Notebook" fame... Ryan Gosling , happened about a street fight...and broke it up...very cool stuff...would you have done the same?   AND ...it didn't seem staged...pictured here with my fav actress , Rachel McAdams .... Tripoli Dooms Day ...for Ghadafi ...I didn't realize he was in power for the duration of 8 of our presidents...happens when you are the dictator...to continue with the total unrest in the region, he too, will fall...today... I know you get tired of reading about the Padres ...but, it's what I do...as they travel to play a deuce with the Giants at SF ...we serve up Matt Latos , against the Pad killer, Matt Cain ...this will be a true test of o...

Spy Caper

I can't make this up...there is this feller...who just happens to be a rich one...that has this little problem...one of his most fundamental parts of his little toy is broken...well, it's getting fixed...but he has to use the toy, anyway... NOW ...so he has to find a temporary replacement part...that no one else has...so he secretly ends up in this little town in Mississippi , where this little part is known to exist... Hattiesburg ...and the part is definitely used, NOT NEW ...in fact, advertised as an antique...so...this feller doesn't want anyone to know that he is there...oops, he tweets he's there...blown cover!  This feller is none other than Baltimore Colt's owner, James Irsay ...celebrated NFL boss...trying to find a gap quarterback for his recently worked on QB, Peyton Manning ....so what's he doing is trying to get the legendary Brett Favre to to be this missing part...yup, it's true... Wow, we lived through it!   I'm talking the fantabulo...

Sunday Drive

Nothing like a lazy Sunday drive in the country... BUT ...now the cost of gas and all...it becomes more of a monetary problem...so...it goes in the brain that it may just be time to get rid of your gas hog and slide into a Hybrid ...there have been some out there that have bragging rights...most notably Toyota , with their Prius and their Camry... Honda has their version, as does Lexus , and Ford ....and there are others... BUT ...there is another one that is turning all heads...40 mpg, with 700 miles per tank...and, I think will put Korea on the map of a major car maker... the Kia Optima ...has all the bells and whistles, ie. Navigation, multi speakers, oh, you know...the works...I noticed one out at the golf course and it has the wow factor...and the price, fully loaded is $33 grand...and right now, there are super lease programs...I'm just saying.... Can't get away from the Padres scoring a bunch of runs on the inept Marlin pitching...ok, ok, ok, it usually made no ...
