Shellacking

The Solheim Cup...as the Europeans are handing it to USA...big time...a complete sweep in the afternoon 4 somes...and they lead 10 1/2 to 5 1/2...which means today...in the singles matches...they just have to win 4 of the 12...done deal...as there are a few American gals playing terribly...and can not beat the euphoric Euros, no way, no how...Stacy Lewis, in particular....who has an abysmal Solheim record...and is choking up big time...and she plays Anna Nordqvist...
fresh off a hole in one...eegads...stomp, like the Bristol Stomp....Lexi Thompson, a super long hitter, but could be the worst putter I have ever seen as a pro...Angie Stanford...no match to the rest...three easy wins for the visitors...which means all they have to do is pick up one upset...and the cup is theirs again...sorry, home teamers,  there is zero chance of a comeback...zero...

Marsh is like crazy thinking I could watch so much of these matches...like the format and the pressure...the positives...Paula Creamer, playing solid...Michele Wie, who rises to the occasion...and if she could putt, would be a dominant force in the game...Brittany Lang, studette...and a newcomer, Jessica Korda...will be in the mix this next season...

Football....I have to get to Vegas and put some scratch on the Seahawks...I am a believer...they are talented, deep, and have the "it" factor...

Hallelujah...the Pads finally sat Chase Headley...and guess what?...we scored 8 runs...and the game went faster...dingers by new daddy Nick Hundley, and by 2B Jed Gyorko...helped big time...and the mop up crew finished it off...innings 6-9....really...even my whipping boy, Gregerson...

Here's the question of the day...is Headley better than the former 3B Kevin Koozmanoff?...a source of complaints when he was here...both struck out often...and were not good in the clutch...and both were not bad defensively...OK, Chase is a huge disappointment...outside of a bewildering last half of the season in '12...and the fact that he bats 3rd in the lineup is a gross mismanagement of the team...a fact that I have mentioned way too often...

Can you believe the Dodgers?...25-3 (89%) since the all star break...10 in a row...are whupping up on the Phillies now...how'd that change of manager work out Philly?...making a mockery of the west...and the NL, for that fact...

Pick 6 carryover at Del Mar...again...today has way too many entries to get it...unless the favs come in...which is highly unlikely....which means another Sunday carryover...I have been there but once...still hurting a bit...but getting better...feel stronger...

Better download the DRF...

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
