Euphoria!

Can you blame the city of Boston?...absolutely EUPHORIA!...as the 2nd of the two cowards was captured...hiding in a boat...and now the story continues...why?...who all was involved?...why would a reportedly normal guy, change up and decide to kill innocents?...

The people were relieved and took to the streets, yup, the ones that they were to stay off of...and had the celebration of their lives...

And now we get to securing our country even more...extreme detective work...deportations....better screening on foreign students...(let them study in their own land)...carefully scrutinize certain religious sections...hey, I'm being real...tighten our borders...hey, am I wrong?...

Praise to the police...they showed such great ability and protective services...

And the story will go on...this is NOT over...

OK, here's my mundane regular take on the sports stuff...
The Pads play tough and still lose to the Giants in the 9th...what is called a game winner...a walk off...
The A's and Salem's own, Jed Lowrie, is on fire...goes 4-4 and is hitting over .400...
The NBA playoffs begin today...the Heat in the east, easily...the west is wide open...
Adam Scott is resting on his laurels...
Pick 6 at SA will be huge today...
Headley is welcomed back in a big way for SD...
The strike zone was diff for SF, than SD...really!...

My partner pulled out of the T, so I am free today...more R & R!...

No Shame

There is no worse of a crime than that of arbitrary killing...and the way of the AlQuida is the worst...with no other than "any American" as their target...it is the most cowardly of all human beings actions...they have no shame...they are totally in fear of striking real, armed forces...if this is the way of their religion, it is the most disgusting of all...

This pair of cowards have furthered the concept of their plight...they can't really fight...they are delusional...hide and attack...as many innocent people they can...this is all they can do...or, apparently, want to do...

I am beside myself with this pathetic way of dealing with life...and they don't deserve the right to live...am I clear about this?...

And we are glued to the TV as we hope for some closure to this horrific set of happenings...

I keep asking this question, "why do we allow these people into our country?"

One more thing...if the people of Boston must stay in their homes...the idea of owning a hand gun appears to be more of a reality...I guess I am softening on that part of gun control...makes me wonder...

It's real kids...it's real...

Sweep

And the beat goes on...for the Padres!...who get a sweep in LA!...go figure...and scored a gaggle of runs...you know I mentioned this to my son...I'll bet that they put Maybin on the DL...which they did...and left Denorfia in CF...and this kid who had a bam a lama spring, got called up, and delivered...Kyle Blanks...take a look at him...and then, Chase Headley, came back...well...it's been an awesome 3 games...now...head on up to SF...can we keep this going?...

Don't know if you were following the news guys yesterday...but there was a multitude of reports that were contradictory of sorts...saying that they had a suspect in the Boston Bombs...and he was arrested...and then he wasn't..."my sources say"...heard that phrase way too much...gots to believe that today will be the day that the coward will be fingered and abducted...out of his shelter...or whatever...

Wild night in the NBA...as the Jazz lost and lost out of the playoffs...and the Lake Show got in...all the way to 7th...boo...well, the TV peops are happy...they'd rather have LA than Utah...the Clips got 4th and will host the Grizzlies...by the way, the playoffs go on and on...but...the teams play a lot harder than in their regular season...it's true...

Idol...well...crown her as the next AI...ha ha...it's all gals in the top 5...the country gals were at the bottom, as I see it...for me, it's Angie as the winner...her song, dedicated to the Boston peops, was the clear best of the night...you never know how the voting goes...the south does seem to carry a lot of the passion...so, I may be wrong...

Prez O was furious...at the Senate...who voted against the back ground checks...of the guns ownership...it is said that the repubs are afraid of the NRA pulling their support for their re-election...and the NRA basically said that...it is a crime...and each and every one of those foos should be ashamed...boooooo....

I was listening to some vinyl last night...CSNY, 4 Way Street....and then popped in a CSN DVD...man, it was good...don't know if you ever do such a thing...but these guys, frozen in time, were tremendous...it's a non-Miley zone...er, no doobies...

So...as a tribute to them boys...I am going to grow out my mustache...again...it will be white...maybe a bit grey...so...I know it makes me look a bit older...but...it's time for some change...

9!

Who are these guys?...the unheralded baseball impostors...who CH called the worst team in the history of the game...maybe...maybe they are not...as they posted a 9 spot...NINE...on the hated Dodgers in LA last eve...what?...yup, the mighty Padres...of course, it was against the fill in for the recently injured Zach Greinke...who made the mistake of hitting our LF Q...and then, well, you know the story...we made some lineup changes...like putting Denorfia in CF and leading off....great move...we had 15 hits...AND...won our 1st series of the year...today it is against their ace, Clayton Kershaw...who we have a minor chance of beating...just the facts, mam...

Bizarre last day for the NBA regular season...I have already told you about the plight of the Lake Show and the Jazz...what I haven't talked about is the positioning of the Clips...who could actually be number 3 through 5...depending on who beats who...you want to be 3 or 4, as that would give you home court advantage...play at the Kings, who just may be playing their last game at Sac Town...

The horrific bombings in Boston...still no answers...who did this?...nobody is claiming it thus far...find 'em and string 'em up...eye for an eye...don't give 'em a forum in a court to glorify their actions...this is not good...

As hard as I am on the Pads, I am equally shocked by the start of the talent ladened Angels of Anaheim...who are absolutely loaded!...4-10...the people in the know don't like the make up of the team...what does that mean?...it must be that there are some selfish guys...what else can it be?...

Rumor is that 3B Chase Headley is making his 1st appearance tonight in LA...geez, all good as I called out the Pads as the worst team in the history of the game...just the power of Crazy Horse...and they are turning it back around...baseball...

Where is Manny ?...
ARod costs the Yankees how much for not playing?...
You sign a bloke for more than 3 years, it's your fault...
See the Angels 1B Pujols...
Salemite Lowrie is on fire...
Rizzo hitting .174...
Name one starter on the Marlins...
Atlanta 12-1 to start the season...oh my...

Have a great day!

Madness

I can't think of a more cowardly way of dealing with other people...by planting bombs to kill innocent spectators...the devils are just that...and in my way of thinking, a public hanging would do them justice...I know, a bit harsh...but if they have a problem with a government, then deal with the government...not innocent bystanders...it's not right...this way of dealing with life...there just seems to be a lot of this type of mass murder and mayhem, huh...

Just when I bad mouth the Pads, they put together a brilliant game against the hated Dodgers...and actually win in LA...strong pitching and hitting from Eric Stults, who clobbered his 1st ever HR...a 3 run shot...at least our pitcher can hit...one in a row...

DTWS...there is a decided line between the good and the bad...and I have already listed the better ones...going off of the last night performance, the Disney Gal is the one to beat...then KP and the FBer, in that order...

The Voice...OK, the sing off thing is weird...a duet, with a winner and a loser...not a fan of that format...yet, I like the judges so much better than the Idol ones...much better...well, the gals, for sure...

How secure do we have to have?...I have to think that we are there...but, these goons have a way to find a sliver of a chance...we must be strong and the penalties must be stronger...OK, I know the hanging thing will never fly...that's just my passion...c'mon Congress, do your job and get this situation figured out...

NBA...8 watch...the Lake Show wins on Wednesday, they are in...they lose and Utah wins, the Jazz are in...go Jazz!...

Finally...the NCAA is dealing with the Texas recruiting violations by the Ducks...it's been an ongoing topic by the Oregon press for some time now...UO publicly admitted some stuff...let's see where this goes...the reason Chip bolted to the NFL?...just like Pete did to USC?....

You tired of the K fam yet?...they now are pushing the younger sisters into the limelight...it must be their goal to be the ultimate famous cuz they are famous people...can't think of anyone else that meets the criteria...turn them off!!!...

Gold was gold, and now it's not...never figure out the path...
Have to get out and practice before my next T on Saturday...rusty...
The boxer is out tonight...just a hunch...
Sorry, Tiger, but of all the rules that I know...dropping it back wouldn't be in the cards...
Get this...if LA wins and the Jazz win...LA is in and ties Houston for 7th...what?...do they get the 7th spot?...and would play San Antone...really?...NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS!...
Geez...

The Masters

I equate the winner of the Masters to the Super Bowl in the NFL...it's golf's biggest prize...odd that it's at the early part of the season...but it is...

In my life, it has been the Aussie, Greg Norman, that I thought that would win it...he didn't...and this time around there were 3 of that country's blokes in the mix...actually, I figured Jason Day had it done...but he choked it up...paving the way for the drama of what really happened...

Angel Cabrera, the Argentinean, was plodding around the course...and seemed to have lost it when he dumped a shot in to the creek...but found a way to shoot his self back into the mix...with an awesome dart on 18 to force a playoff with...Adam Scott...the Aussie with the sweet swing that has one drawback...his putting is not equal to his other parts...

Sunday it was...as he made two wonderful putts in the last 3 holes he played...one that was the winner in OT...he actually made one biggee on the 72nd hole and prematurely celebrated...

One other thing...the person with the most Masters Crowns?...just might be caddie, Stevie Williams...who was ingloriously fired by his former boss, Tiger Woods...dang,

he must be good at his trade...

I refuse to talk about the Padres today...

Dancing With The Stars...tonight is supposed to be a great one...all the originals...well, most of 'em will be doing their thing...so they say...

Outside of the Worm going to North Korea, the next biggest mistake is the Bieber...this time visiting the Anne Frank Memorial...yes, boy, I am one of the many doubters...what a foo...

We are totally out of food...and are waiting for some movers...so we do just that...wait...a stop at Starbuck's is in the offing...by the way, I am missing the 90* weather...can we afford another condo?...ha ha...don't tell Marsh...

Say Hey

We just got back from a great weekend getaway to Palm Springs...geez, 90*...pool was splendid...and we were happy sun worshippers...it was crowded...Coachella...festival out of Indio...stayed at a place that was older, but just blocks away from down town Palm Springs...which I just lurve...lots of life...

As we were walking about we noticed a show that was going on....the Follies....featured none other
than "It's My Party" Lesley Gore....what?...singer that is my age...and... I think she now resides in that area...so we thought just maybe we might go...

Hit the pool and got all we wanted...called the Follie tix department and found out that some seats were available...so off we went...let's just say I was shocked...not sure if it was good or bad...the opening number had the feel of a Vegas show...however, the dancing was well meant, but not totally in sync...

Turns out the youngest member of the troupe was in their mid 50's....and the rest were quite older...so, knowing the gig, it made it OK....and the owner and moderator was a comic...of sorts...who spent his time making fun of the people in the audience...fortunately we were not in the front row...as I have been the butt of these types of goons before...

He did tell all about the early Palm Springs history...and gave me an interesting stat....that the city is 55% gay...and like 90% old peops...and then....

Lesley Gore came out...literally...figures in the mix, if you know what I mean...sang her hits pretty well...her famous Party and the best of the nite, "You Don't Own Me"...and then peddled her wares afterward at the entry and exit of the theater...just an odd nite...

Got back in time today to witness the Master's conclusion...as Aussie Scott barely beat the Argentinian ...cool stuff...where were the Americans?...Tiger was 5th...the rest of the USA blokes choked it up good...or badly...and Lefty was dreadful...

And the Pads continue to lose...swept at home to the Rockies...it is pathetic, kids...2-10 record...yikes!...now head to LA to be further humiliated...by the hated Dodgers...who are fresh in their despair for our LF body blocker...fortunately he is on an 8 game suspension...this is a mess...MESS!...and I don't know the solution...not firing Buddy...this could be the worst team in the history of MLB...I'm not kidding...

Have a wunnerful rest of the weekend...
