9 'er

Image
I am now a 49er fan...San Francisco drafted LaMichael James, running star of the Ducks , in the 2nd round...now... the Bolts had the same option a bit earlier...and I was a hoping...but SD went for another defensive guy...I get it...they drafted 3 top notch defenders in their 3 rounds of picks... BUT ...it just goes to show...that the guy Harbaugh doesn't forget...when he was the boss of Stanford, this James guy tore into them...and now he has him as his own...so I reserve the right to OFFICIALLY tag the 9ers as MY OTHER TEAM... Break up the Padres ...they beat the Giants at SF ...well...I figured they had a chance...the guy throwing was a puss baller, that has a name that is a classic... Hacker ...and even we hit 'em....and let's be clear about this... C Hundley is on fire, after his ofer 19 start...now...their real guys go at us...let's just do a hoping...today it's against "the freak" Lincicum ...(sp)... My son is here for the weekend...prep...

Carol Klein

Somewhere back in time you may have heard of some of these classic songs by... The Shirelles, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" Bobby Vee, "Take Good Care Of My Baby" The Cookies, "Chains" Little Eva, "The Loco-motion" Steve Lawrence, "Go Away Little Girl" Skeeter Davis, "I Can't Stay Mad At You" Freddie Scott, "Hey Girl" The Chiffons, "One Fine Day" The Drifters, "Up On The Roof" The Animals, "Don't Bring Me Down" Aretha Franklin, "Natural Woman" these, among others, were written by a team of Gerry Goffin and Carole King ...who?...yup, it was Carol Klein...changed her name a bit....was the lurve of one famous singer, Neil Sedaka ...who wrote a song about her "Oh Carol" ...back in college at Queens... Anyway, she has just a released a CD of demos from way back yonder...called the Demos...it is....well...just absolutely awesome...included were some o...

GOP

Well, what I thought would happen, didn't...I just didn't see the GOP endorsing Mitt Romney...as far left a republican they will put out to the public...throw in the religious thing...I just can't fathom their direction...so the rest of the candidates just got depleted of funds...and votes...can you buy the presidency?...hey, the beauty of the country is that every 4 years the people have a choice...sort of...I mean we still have the "electoral college"...which is total BS...however, all in all, it's the best system out there... I am going to give the Padres the season to weather the storm...so to speak...the absolute mess that the former GM and ownership left the team in...well, it is a sorry commodity...and we are waiting for a new owner and hopefully, some generous ways of buying some new players...move the fences in and attract 'em to the beautiful area of SD...it can happen...but there are a bunch of hoops to jump through... However, the fans are ...

World Peace

Is this the end of "World Peace" as some of us know him?...what?...yup, this bloke, formally known as Ron Artest ...committed an act of aggression in a game yesterday...let me set it up for you... He plays for the Lakers...and has been on his best behavior for almost 2 seasons...changed his name this past year to... Metta World Peace ...I am not lying...and due to the number of LA broadcasts here...I watch 'em lots...and find it way humorous listening to the announcers stumble over his new name...actually giving him the nickname "MWP" ...ha ha... Anyway, he reverted back to his evil ways...throwing a bone crushing elbow at the expense of a Oklahoma City Thunder (Supersonics) guy....it was vicious and malicious...and laid the player out for a minute or so, giving him a concussion... So what is the league going to do?...it is a sticky situation for the Lakers ...as they begin their playoff run next week...and he may be absent... Are you kidding me?... he shou...

Da Weather

Simply wack ...this weather pattern...where the east coast has this 75* heat, almost 30* above normal...and the west coast gets deluged with countless days of the wet stuff...but...relief...the pacific northwest gets some, get this, 80* sunshine...and the east anticipates the snow stuff rumbling towards them...and the south gets the wild weather, ie them tornadoes... How about down here?...well, we have not had the extremes ...but it has been chilly...it changes every few days...good, then not so good...but pretty much 70* everyday...albeit, I would say more like 68* this year... How does the word perfect sound to you?...not the weather, but a big leaguer throwing a perfect game ...got every one of the the opponents out...well, it happened to this feller Humber, of the White Sox ...against the northwest's own, Mariners ...we got to see the last two innings and it was high drama...especially the last out...a full count...and there was no way the umpire was going to screw up t...
