Cinco de Mayo

So just why do we celebrate the 5th of May?...I mean c'mon...and...you learn here from Crazy Horse first...it is a festive day to honor the Mexicans...as they had just a small army of 4500 that repelled the French army of 9000 at the Battle of Puebla...outside of Mexico City...here's where it gets interesting...this happened during our Civil War...as France was trying to get a hold down in Mexico to help out the Rebels...got it?...on this day, May 5...to help the South...geez, it seems that the French wanted part of this country bad, huh...anyway, this date stuck...and Cali was the first to celebrate it...now, it seems like everyone does...just a curious thought here...does the South?...I'll have a margarita, grande, on the rocks, no salt...Cuervo, si!...Cinco de Mayo!...

Orb won the Derby!...thrilling V...as he came from behind as it looks to be a dominating hoss...if healthy, has a great shot at the triple crown...and there is no better jockey than Joel Rosario...all the combo that works...so I got out to Sycuan...which was crazy overcrowded...and bet on Orb, Revolutionary, and Palace Malice...Rev came in 3rd...I pocketed $90, and felt great on the V...next time, I will wheel the exacta...depending on how many of them enter...Preakness next...

I think the Clayton Richard's Experiment has to be shut down...as he got drilled again...the Pads...gave up 6 in the 2nd...and that would close the game...and it did...he just has no movement on his ball....and the opponent tees off...I trust the management can see the same thing I see...I have written about this for a long while...

Oh my, Lefty was being Phil...what?...cruising along leading the T...and tries a shot that NOBODY would...but him...and brought the entire field back into play...ripped a ball out of bounds...drives the analysts crazy...but... the fans lurve it...great TV...and that's what it's all about, right?...supposed to have extreme weather for the final round...and they go off in groups of 3...watch out for Watney...

The Bulls beat the Nets in game 7...the system won...as most of their stars were on the bench...injured...and won it with defense and motion offense...take note Clips...both things you don't have...

Amanda Knox...watched the ABC interview last eve...well...I can see that there are questions...she comes off not so believable...and she has had years to put herself together...the DNA seems to make her innocent...but...something just doesn't click...???...

Is this mother's day?...if so, I'm in trouble...
