CRAZY HORSE

You Tea Party guys got your wish...a spot on the GOP ticket...as Paul Ryan will be named as the VP Candy Man...and, as I may go on and on about this...I start with at least you know where he really stands...and does read magazines...er, so we all hope...the race begins when the two candy men debate...and...I like the choice...for my own reasons...let's just watch this play out for a couple of weeks... geez, as his own boss, called Ryan, "the next president of the United States"... c'mon Mitt, aren't you the one running?...ha ha... Lost in our big comeback win last night over the Pirates , was our closer, Houston Street , pulling his calf muscle covering 1B on the last play of the game...just got through that myself and it takes at least a month...dang...first of all, SD has gotten better (5 in a row)...and secondly, Pitt is choking... Wow!...the 4 by 100 gals were absolutely flying in their golden race...new world record to boot... US's own and it w...

The results are in...the trip from San Diego to Santa Barbara ...by Amtrak ...is awesome!...5 1/2 hours as compared to 4 1/2 by car...no stress...and if you go business class...you get complimentary snacks and drink...like wine or pop...really...and a seat that leans back....with footstools....and a lap desk...just like on an airplane...but with like an extra foot of comfort...and there is a snack car....you can stroll around...and the view is spectacular... As Crazy Horse has predicted for at least 3 months...the Magic traded their disgruntled center Howard to the Lake Show ...and now...you have the fav from the west...sorry OKC, you are now in the 2nd seat... The Olympics... US has overtaken China ...the gals soccer wins gold...the Oregon lad wins the decathlon...the gals hoops team in the final...and the guys hoop team whupped Argentina...good stuff... The Pads are on a pos streak...4 in a row... Tiger who?...for all you doubters...in a brutal wind storm...in SC... Tebo...

With this heat wave...you must keep your water intake at a maximum...even though I took a golf cart, the heat got to me yesterday...it was 94* with no wind... a couple of thunder boomers and a couple of alarming bolts ...in the mountains above us...but could come our way...and we were on a flash flood alert...did you say disconcerting?...I had a Gatoraide and lots of water...still not sufficient....as throughout the night I was bordering on cramping up...yet, I am playing like a real golfer again... The Padres got number two against the Cubbies...as the number 3 and 4 guys came through...as Chicago's "brain trust" brought up an 88 mph flame thrower to the bigs...go Jed Go...Headley and Quentin feasted on the fowl...good luck Cub fans with your GM team....I give you two seasons to fire 'em... The Blazers hired a real coach!...an assistant from the Mavs...Stotts, right?...a step in the right direction... Japan versus the US for gold in gal's soccer...wh...

And it seems like every bloody week we have another mass shooting ...this time at a Temple...and I don't care what the reason is...it is downright scary....there must be something done to limit what the laws are on having firearms...as I have documented a lot lately...there is no justification ever... EVER ...to legally have an automatic weapon... The Padres have finally got themselves a new ownership...the group headed by the O'Malleys ...ie, the one and only Lefty, er Phil Mickelson...this is a good thing...wait...a great thing...and SD promptly celebrated by whupping the Cubbies, 2-0...so happy to have former GM Jed Hoyer gone...and now destroying another team...see what the Cubs have done since he went there... Did you see the often watched Jets had a major brawl on the practice field...sounds like they are ready for someone else to pound on...20 guys involved...Sanchez or Tebow?...ha ha...now, the announcer and former very average QB, Norm (Boomer) Esiason, has be...

The 2 winners of the PGA and Senior's Tournaments yesterday, were users of the highly controversial belly putters ...first, Keegan Bradley ...who overcame another collapse of Jim Furyk , to get the Bridgestone in thunder alley...Ohio...albeit he did shoot a marvelous 64...Keegan did...and Furyk, who is excruciating slow, doubled the last to lose...and Bradley knocked in a 15 foot par to win...then Bernhard Langer. ..who I think is one of the original long putter users, shot a crazy 62 to win in Minnesota...here's the deal... the PGA is strongly considering banning the belly putter...3 points of contact...Langer is upset that only now it is an issue...as he has been using it for over 15 years...and resurrected his career with it...but because on the reg tour has had some winners using it...time to ban it, so they may say...that's a lot of "its", huh... I know it's only pre-season football ...but... the Saints played yesterday and go again this Thursday....

This little golf tourney that 3 of us founded almost 10 short years ago... Rick Ziebell, Larry Morris, and Crazy Horze ... the Masterz ...started as the Masters at McNary GC in Keizer, Oregon ...and grew from 24 to over 100 participants...both men and women at the end...yup, I said the end...as the end of an era happened...not really sure the reason...of course, I am no longer in the area...and the remaining two guys had to do mega amounts to keep it going...anyway...in honor of the first Saturday in August date of the T, I wore my Masterz hat yesterday while I was playing out at Sycuan...and without any rhyme or reason, played the best I have for over a year...go figure...maybe it was Karma... RIP Masterz... It's but a week away, the beginning of the NFL season ...er, pre-season...there is no bigger city pride than that of the Chargers ...well, equal to others, for sure...and one little blip in the system...the NFL refs are still not in the fold...and the bloody replacements...
