Phoney Bologna

The game last night was filled with stink um ... the Heat win at Boston ...I know, LeBron was magnifico... BUT ...too many of the wide open shots by the Celts missed BADLY! ...in fact, had no chance of going in...and, it brought to mind, the amount of $ that the NBA gets for prolonging this series...I'm just saying... Staying with the negative... the Pads are the worst ...even beat writer for the Trib, Nick Canepa , chimed in...as he has seen every one of the Padres teams through out the years...and he declared this the "worst ever" ...more inept fielding and 3 times the bases were loaded and got zero runs...off to Milwaukee to show the nation some fine beisbol .... The US Open announced their pairings yesterday...pairings?...when there are three in the group?...must really mean groupings...but the feature group has Lefty , Tiger , and Boomer ...in SF...just try to get close to that tee box... Breaking News ... "I'll Have Another" is scratched f...

So the latest out of the politician's bank... Mitt Romney has raised more than Prez O this last month...and this is what we are talking about...how much $ they raise...which brings me to this...whomever gets the most dough wins?... the bloody Super-Pacs ...it's all wrong, kids...all wrong...and we, the common people, have to suffer through the ridiculous way it is done...booooooooooo.... The Thunder (Supersonics) wrap up the west and wait for the Celts / Heat winner... OKC is younger, faster, and more energetic than the beaten Spurs ...and what, prey tell, was SA doing in the last two minutes?...it's supposed to be a free throw world, and they just chased the ball around...maybe, just maybe, they were too tired to finish it off...tonite...I am hoping that Boston can get 'em...lesser of 2 evils...ha ha... Did you see any of the CMT Awards? ... there is some bad singing going on there ...I'm thinking that the vocals are going the wrong direction...however, n...

Say What?

LeBron James can not finish...sorry Heat fans...but he chokes...as he did yet again last night in the last 5 minutes of the UPSET by the Celts... the Truth can finish...so Boston goes home to win that series... BUT ...I think the NBA lurves the attention they are getting and would do anything to see both playoffs to go seven games...well, I am not mentioning anything below the board, BUT...will OKC end theirs at home versus the Spurs? ...I think not, as it will go seven, too... Break up the Pads ...as they actually won a game in walk off fashion...they have some of their blokes that have been on the injured list... Carlos Quenton (2 hr's), Logan Forsythe (walk off hr), Houston Street (win), and Mark Kotsay (elder statesman) ...maybe there is promise on the horizon... The Blazers finally hired a GM... Bet on "I'll Have Another" in the Belmont... Who watches tennis? ... The Ducks are in the super regional and the Beavs are not... Lefty withdrew from the...

Well...I am eating my words... the Thunder (Supersonics) are destroying the seemingly invincible Spurs ...but...I will say both teams are playing hard and good D... The Celts have a rough road in beating the Heat ...and...as I have said quite often... .Lebron James is not a closer...he is a gifted hoopster...but lacks the ability to get the final thing accomplished... BUT ...the Heat have many more weapons than the Celts ...by the way, what on earth was the Truth thinking?...knock over a bloke and not get called for it?... Way diff... the Bachelorette is horrible...turrible ...there was nothing on last night so I gave it a try again...not only does she have little to choose from, but she has zero personality...talk about pregnant pauses... boooooring... The final leg of the Triple Crown is this weekend...can "I'll Have Another" get the job done?  I think yes and will be the prohibitive favorite...must check the weather... the Belmont is always an odd finish.....

So did you miss me?  I was on an extravaganza to Vegas ...golf thinger with 30 guys...3 days of golf and stayed at the Nugget ...right at the Fremont St. Experience...which was cool...well, hot...as the temp was 104*-108*...hit the pool twice and was struck with one major observation...that a lot (80%, maybe) of people are sporting tattoos...really...and all ages... AND ...my golf partner, an elder doctor guy out of SD, actually got a face tattoo...albeit a vegetable based one, that will wear off in two months...but still...really?  OMG ... I had a good day the first and cashed ...the other two...well...I can give you a multitude of excuses...but the one is...the greens were awful, and one step away from being trashed...looks like from either the heat or a fungus...or both...so much that the Bad Frogs will not return there for the trip... One of my follies is that some golfers can get notoriety for who they are , rather than how they play the game... Rickie Fowler ...flam...
