CRAZY HORSE

With news out of Australia of yet another shark strike ...this time taking a 1/2 chunk of body from a surfer...it is time to try to figure out what is going on...hey, I know in Cocoa Beach , we are always looking out for 'em when we are body surfing...and this is the 5th strike down under... DEADLY... The Pads have lost 5 in a row...not without a great pitching job by Clayton Richards ...who gave up a 2 run dong for his only blemish...too bad, as he was a victim of shoddy infielding by 3B Headley ...who mishandled an obvious bunt by the Dodger's Gwynn...which led to the big hit...however, SD continues it's horrendous non-hitting with men on base...0-9, and lose 2-1...boooooooooo... You who are getting mad at me for the quotations of your guy ...well...get real...I'm not making any of that stuff up...he says it... OMG!  Is there an issue of People Magazine that doesn't have at least one article on the K family in it?...I mean please...a moratorium...a...

It's a new name, but the same quality!

Ha ha...a play on words...I'm talkin the Olympic Team ...guys...I know the gals will be tuff...but, I don't follow them...watched the team play John Calapari's Dominican group...no match...here's my take... Coach K gets them to play D... Amazing how hard they do so... 10 minute quarters ups the ante... In lieu of the NBA minutes of 12... Losing the Clips Griffin will hurt...depth... Kevin Love is in slow motion...with an attitude... Who is the 2nd C after Chandler?... Hear me out... they very well may not win the gold... Idol dismembering....Tyler and JLo gone! Maybe RJ next... Then what? It will be interesting to see who they get... JLo was awesome... It's still the kids that get it done... So after a week of rocky trading in the stocks... Today was a bonanza... Why?...I hear all the reasons... But don't get it... Do you? You are chosen to sing the national anthem... And you may forget the words... So you write the words on your wrist....

In the not too distant past...this country had the choice of choices...for our Prez ...the country was at war in Vietnam...segregation was coming to an end...politicians could still muffle the media...and in the real world of the people...the country was in chaos and anti-war protests were at a new high... It was 1972... the GOP had their guy, none other than Richard Nixon ...who had his way with the press...you cross him and he x-d you out of any White House conferences...and pretty much ran any which way he wanted to get what he wanted...and this war thing was getting to him... the Demos ...were trying like H to find somebody to beat Nixon...started with Muskie...they got rid of him, because he teared up talking about his wife...too weak...then, George McGovern ...anti-war guy...and they had this guv from Alabama, too...George Wallace...what?...so much for integration... The Demos settled on McGovern ...and he chose Tom Eagleton...as his VP...and the press had no limits on t...

Again!...the elite lineup of the American League produced ZERO runs...ha ha...and the pundits eat dirt again...ha ha...the guys who had the best night were from the SF Giants...nice... You blokes who keep calling the Prez a socialist...you must be trying hard to hide your money...maybe if you can get another bloke, just like you, to run the country then you'll be happy...you don't really equate yourself to the Texas billionaires that are funding your guy's campaign, do you?...c'mon... I don't know if it's a hidden meaning...but...our electric wine owner is breaking down...blame it on the missus, I say... Remember I keep telling you to watch out for the Lake Show...it is inevitable that the Magic's Howard will be traded to LA...despite all the dribble, or is that drivel, of the east coast pundits... 2 am...and the dog is licking my face...geez, out I go...and it was so warm...and so quiet...before the storm... Of the Comic-Con!...million of the geek...

The beisbol boys are at it... the All Star Game in KC ...hey, this is the best of all these types of games...and MLB has put a ridiculous clause to it...the winning side gets the home field advantage...what?...leave it alone...it's a perfect break in the summer...and former Pad, Jake Peavy , got picked>>>> Not real sure why the new owners to be are taking so long in buying the Padres ...get on with it already...and the rumors are flying about the possible trades of Carlos Quentin and Chase Headley...if they can get some real pitchers, yes...if more "prospects", no....or, just wait for the new ownership... The GOP has raised almost double the moolah as the Demos ...hold on kids....wait for the debates...if Mitt can hold his own, then use the dough...I sincerely doubt that he can..."I'll be you a thousand dollars"....as he so eloquently used in the primaries... It's a heat wave here...just in time for the Comic-Con ...an absurdly crazy ...

Alas, ye matey!  They have landed at Santa Barbara...smaller than you would think, like 88 thousand people...in an absolutely gorgeous piece of the earth...and are living right on the beach for the first year....I'm talking Cris and Leila...as he begins his new practice there...not without the normal bumps in the road...but, it looks like smooth sailing from here on out...but, get this...NO TARGET!... So how have the Pads been doing in my absence?...really OK...the Reds are in town and are a good team...deeper in pitching for sure...we have had our chances...the sale of the club could be this week...still a lot of hope... Hey, this Webb Simpson kid is for real...the PGA has to start recognizing him as such...much more so than their darling, the Puma Kid...even though he uses that bloody belly putter...and I have heard that the PGA Gods are looking at banning that tool... I'm going to try to golf tomorrow...and am going to ride in a cart....still limping...but stronger I...
