The Derby

Image
Somewhere down the line, it became the thing for the ladies to wear the flowering, bodacious hats ...much the same as opening day out here at Del Mar ...it's part of the ritual and elegance of the biggest single race in horse racing... The Kentucky Derby ...as CH calls THE DERBY ...anyway...the peops from all over are trying to analyze it...and there are at least 10, count 'em, 10 strong possibles... Orb has been the early pick and will go off as the fav...lots of late $ on Normandy ...hey, you have 20 legit chances...I still like Revolutionary and will get out to Sycuan a put a bundle on him... It's not often that a group can shoot a gross 59 and not get the top spot in a scramble T ...that was us...it was one that did not figure in handicaps ...the team behind us had a big ringer that belted his drives 300+ yards...young guy that was the real deal...nevertheless, we played great and it was as good as a score as we could have done... it was fun and a great time.....

Well

It's now fire season I guess...as the wild fires are blazing  in the area...yup, it is north...and not that far from my son, up in Ventura County ...we have these Santa Ana Winds that trigger all the movement...stay tuned... I have a tourney this afternoon over in Chula Vista ...geez, I can't remember the last scramble T I've been in...and I'm going to do so next week, too...go figure... What a bizarre way for the Pads to win the final game in Chi-Town...and split the series...2 infield hits, a wind blown single, and a wild pitch...take it any way we can... OK, you are considered one of the brilliant minds in the NBA ...which, my friends is a farce...coaching on that level is babysitting...but George Karl , sets up a final tying shot by Andre Miller?...what a joke...give it to him... CLANG! ...as Golden St moves on... The weather could be off...like rainy....and throws all the PP out the window for the Derby ...as these fine hosses only have run in good w...

Justice

With the arrest of 3 other students in Boston ...it makes me more irritated that we have such lenient laws to let in the students...more scrutiny is needed...I am not saying they are guilty, but there needs to be more stringent laws ...obviously, this has only scratched the surface... LiLo can pretty much do whatever she wants when it comes to her probation ...this time changing her 90 day stay..from NY to LA...cuz they won't allow smoking in the eastern place...indeed... The NBA had some goofy games yesterday... Houston whupping OKC, who just may be on the outs without their star PG...cough cough, not a fan of their coach...he just sits there...and...the Celts beat the Knicks...didn't see that coming...but...not a NY believer...tonight...look for GS to win... The Derby ...the list and PP are out.. .the fav is Orb , ridden by the best jock in the US, Joel Rosario...7-2, but will drop to 5-2 by post...and you should drop some $ on it... my pick is Revolutionary ,...

Odd Day

Image
It was a very ODD DAY! ...was there a full moon?...unexpected stuff happened...like, I don't get it...what?... The Padres scored the most runs they ever have in Chi Town ....the MOST ...13 of 'em...well, at least in Wrigley Field...as they banged the ball all over the place...of course, it was 82* and the wind was blowing out...still...go figure...and now we put out our unconfirmed ace, Andrew Cashner ...look for a 3-2 game... Kobe Bryant told the media to keep the Lake Show intact ...what?...it was a mess...that they should sign Dwight Howard...eegads...am I missing something here?...it is a long shot to keep Howard and the coach...mediocrity is just not allowed in LA...weird... The Grizzlies marched into Staples and methodically beat up the Clips ...who ran a mysterious offense...meaning no O...how can you play a play a season of 82 games and have no flow to an offense?...when the Spurs or Nuggets replace guys, the O still goes...not in Clipper Land...they need ne...

Right Now

Well, kids, the Twinkie is saved!...after 6 months of debate of whether or not it could survive... Hostess has found new money to keep it going...now, that's big news... Jason Collins ...revealed that he was a gay...and a hoopster from the NBA... Stanford grad ...in a country that has become more and more understanding...for real...you know, I didn't know that there hadn't been others feeling that they had to admit to it...not sure why you actually have to do so...I mean, do you announce you are heterosexual?...so we sit back and watch the reaction...the media will run with it...and in this world of Twitter...there are instant Tweets...and many of the "stars" are commending him...no bigger than Prez O who contacted him about his revelation and courage...sure, there are the others...like the ESPN reporter who called him a sinner...Bible stuff, right?.... Female DNA found in the bombs that were used in Boston...well...there has to be look at those who were c...

Sweep!

Image
Hey now...this is a huge deal for the cellar dweller...and maybe, just maybe, a sign that things are changing...for the Pads to beat SF it is REAL BIG! ...yup...and we hit 3 dingers...amongst those were C Nick Hundley ...OK OK OK...now we head to Chi Town to take on the Cubbies...we have the human punching bag, Clayton Richards going...hope for the wind blowing in...it's our only chance...just keeping it real...by the way...big crowds out at Petco... the Giants travel well... After 2 delays in New Orleans... Billy Horschel won his first PGA title...kind of thought he was ready...and he had to bang home a long birdie putt to get it...good on him... The end of the Lake Show ...ugly, too...as their big hope, Dwight Howard , got ejected in the 3rd...and was of no help as LA got swept by the Spurs at Staples...expect major changes in that team in the off season... Inbee Park has to be the best putter in all of golf right now...as she came from behind and won in Texas  ... LP...

Mini-Streak

Seems like whenever I bad mouth the Pads , they come back in big fashion... now have won 3 in a row ...and have won the series against the World Champs, the SF Giants ...of course, they must get fired up after reading my blog...last night... It took OT to finally get their 3rd...scored a gaggle of runs...8 of 'em...took a smash by a guy who has struggled mightily in crunch time...1/15 with runners in scoring position... C Nick Hundley ...to be fair...their 2B muffed the ball...which should have been an inning ending double play...but...whatever...he hit it hard...and knocked in Alonso , who had hit his 3rd double of the game...in the 12th... So now, we go for the sweep today at 1...and 4 in a row...?... We are heading over to Little Italy today...there is a monster art walk there...5 blocks of it...it is massive and near impossible to find parking...debating about riding our bikes....or just hoofing it... NBA ...with the Thunder losing their PG Westbrook , it changes the...
