Deja Vu

Image
All over again...it looked the same to me...the Padres lost their opener...with all the enthusiasm of a new season...BUT...the same faces made the same mistakes...the biggest flaw for me...the lack of a solid number three hitter...yesterday's picture of Chase Headley was the guy...0 for 4, with two K's...here's the deal...the BIG inning was upon us...two straight hits and a walk...the bases full...up steps our "best" hitter...he takes three straight strikes...same stuff...let's be honest...he's not clutch and he's got no power...and furthermore...we are down 3-1 in the 8th...certainly not out of it...and Mgr. Buddy Black brings in a set up guy, who the day before was traveling to Tucson for his AAA duty...and he gives up a two run tater...no way we score 4...and we hit a 2 run HR in our turn...see...it's the same old thing...gosh I hate saying that...BUT...adjust the lineup with our best guys hitting where they should be...I'm just saying...t...

Versus da bums

Chase Headley leads the mighty San Diego Padres against da bums...well...they used to be called that when they were in Brooklyn...4:05 today...it is a long shot as the Dodgers throw out Kershaw, a Pad killer...3-2?...hopes... The Masters has begun...look out for long hitting and Fed Ex winner, Bill Haas...it just may be his turn...I digress...Tiger, Lefty, and Rory...it is the gaggle of probables... I told you to look at the line last eve in the NBA...I was right on two of the three...scratching my head on PDX...as they smoked the Nets...just goes to show... Did you watch Idol?...nothing changed my mind...Joshua, Jessica, and the double name guy...who goes home?...probably one of them gals...who just make up the entire bottom 3...by the way, the judges raved about Skylar...me?... not so much... Back to the Masters...I am not crazy about the chauvinistic attitude of the members...at least they could be supervised... I am now going to change my approach to par 5's...going t...

Opening Dayz

The Padres opening day is but a few hours away...tons of optimism...start with the bloody Dodgers... Took a look at the latest NBA line... and found some very curious spreads, that, if...and I am saying if...I was a bettor...I would jump on them...first of all, the Clippers are favored over the Lakers in LA...and the Celtics are home team dogs...and finally, PDX is a 9 point fave over the Nets...bet a C on each kids... The Masters kicks off manana...and I mean to tell you, it's the best stuff...a gaggle of the pros are upset that the scribes pick Tiger or Rory...that they all have a chance...good on them...that's what you have to think...me?...it appears to be rainy...which favors the long bombers...so the aforementioned, and Lefty have to be in the mix...me?...Tiger by 5ish...do NOT bet it... DWTS...the right bloke went home...the opera gal is the one to telescope in on... Idol...what they singing tonight?...the SD gal, and the 3 gents are the possibles...I prefer th...

This is the best week in golf...period...as the blokes head out to Augusta for the...Masters...no prettier course and is revered by all...great article in the latest SI...about the rookies staying in Butler's Cabin...the mystique and tradition involved...so very cool...my pick?...well, there are a bunch of possibles...but if you were to go with Lefty or Tiger...you wouldn't go wrong...Tiger... There is no more drama in the game of golf than wrapping up the championship of a major...in the desert the gals had a dead ringer going...I K Kim has a one footer....yup, one foot...and she was tapping it in to win...and gasp...the bloody horseshoe...it was beyond a gimmee...and there she was...pretty much at a loss...and the picture will never, ever, be forgotten....all those yahoos who make you putt out everything for a quarter will bring it up...it is a guarantee...dang...I feel so sorry for her...and yea, she went out and lost the playoff... So the gal who won the match play tour...
