Review

How about this?...a concert review of Wilson Phillips ...you know, the trio of kids that are from Brian Wilson and the Mamas and Papas ...down at the Bay...first of all, these concerts are like no other I have ever seen...the first part of it is the San Diego Symphony , doing songs of the 80's movies...absolutely perfect...as we are in the 3rd row...and each pod of 4 has their own table...ordered a cheese plate, a chicken dish, and a bottle of Napa Cab...even, two...and the other couple was a no show...so we had even more space...and then... the gals came on... I think the highlight of the evening was their cover of Carl Wilson's "God Only Knows" ... Chyna Phillips was splendid ...well, the harmony was just beautiful....as the night went on they did their stuff, as well as the Beach Boys and Mamas and Papas covers...in fact, I wish they would have done the entire show of 'em...their encore song was "Hold On" that was bolstered by fireworks as the son...

Hiding?

OK, I lied.  I have to get back to the campaign trail.  And...I'm trying to be unbiased...well, sort of...BUT...I am unclear why Mitt won't release his taxes...hey, everything gets put out there...and if he doesn't do it, it will be uncovered somehow, by somebody...what is he hiding?...if he has nothing to shield, then why not?....something smells fishy...and I get the GOP response of "let's get on with the things that matter"...well, maybe this matters, just maybe, a lot...still...it's a preview of the upcoming debates...and Prez O will be ready... I can't fathom staying any longer in Afghanistan ...if you want an issue, make this one a big topic...wait, this is your kind of stuff, right?...we are losing too many soldiers to a hellish piece of the earth...seems like everyday we hear of another "friend in the region" turning on us and killing us... Tepid response by the present day Padres about the Big Leagues endorsing the new ownershi...

Air Brushed

Image
It's about time that the air brushing phenomena be applied to Crazy Horze's picture...however, I use such archaic cameras that they already seem altered...can you imagine a photo of one of the K family not doctored?...sure, I hope somebody finds a way to get to the other old, younger stars...who seem to believe that botox is a cure all for average looking faces...er, and other parts of their body...OK, enough of that... Today the Major Leagues are going to endorse the new ownership of the Padres ... the O'Malley group ...and I am telling you, watch out for SD in the very new future...even though, the Pads got whupped in Atlanta last eve...hang in there, kids... The Bolts/ Cowboys game is officially blacked out here in SD...good...as the starters may go 2 or 3 series, at most...and you watch the others play for most of the game....and you pay premium prices for that honor...who cares?... The last 6 months there has been little problems coming from over the border...

Roids

Image
In this time of sports...how can you be taking roids?... Melky Cabrera, of the SF Giants ...pretty much on top of the beisbol world...a lifetime .260 hitter, leading the league... tested positive for 'em and is out for 50 games...so incredibly stupid...and puts a major glitch in the Giants run for the playoffs... Up in Seattle, King Felix threw a perfect game ...all outs...dang...the 3rd time it's happened this season...sure seems like it would be crazy...against the Rays...1st time ever for an M...super stuff... Are you upset with the NFL blocking the refs coming back to work?...not that I'm a fan of 'em...but it seems like a petty set of circumstances...get 'em back...well, not that the guys working are doing that bad a job... I'm leaving the political stuff alone until the debates...I mean why?...or why not?... And just why the fact that Jennifer Aniston getting engaged is such a big deal? I saw a pix of LiLo in the Huffington Post, and she...

Nat's Choice

Image
Due to  his huge success at San Diego St. , Stephen Strasburg , is a big ticket item around here...and he is leading the Washington Nationals to the best record in beisbol... BUT ...there is a glitch in their thinking...they plan on "shutting" him down after 160-180 innings of pitching..he is at 133 or so now...which kind of says he'll be out of the playoffs...Nat fans, go crazy...yea, save him for next year...when you are not in the race...hey, brainy GM, let him go 5 each game...he is the best in the biz... The hottest team in the league?...well, one of them is the Pads ...started with the Atlanta series with a 4-1 win....as Chase Headley continues a tear...was named NL player of the week...and Eric Stults catapulted his blazing 88 mph fastball to a nice V...8-2 over the last ten...pretty dang good...this is against upper tier teams...if we get a couple of better players, move the fences in, we will be one of them better teams...new owners, new money, new optimi...

Golden

Cheers to the Olympic hoop teams for their winning of the GOLD ...the gals had little problem, albeit a bit of a struggle in the semis against the huge Aussies...and the guys...well...taken to the limits with Spain...also, a huge inside presence...and led by Doctor Flop, Rudy Fernandez...almost got the upset of upsets... Lebron James , as I said about 2 weeks ago, is now the best player in the world...did it at crunch time...and a less talked about thing...the emergence of Kevin Love ...I'm going to tell you right now, the US does not win that without him...he solidified the middle...weird to see, Melo, James, and Love battling the Espana giants...our C Chandler was a waste pick, no factor...so, good on the red, white, and blue! The PGA ... Rory in a cake walk... McIlroy ...wins his 2nd major at the age of 23...only Jack Nicklaus has done it sooner... 24 putts in 18 holes ...that'll do it kids... Tiger just can't get the putter going...doesn't it seem like a bun...
