CRAZY HORSE

When is the last time we have seen Sergio Garcia leading a US tourney?...I can't remember when...but he is... the Player's in Ponte Verdo, Florida ...geez, I've seen no gators...weird, huh...anyway, he is leading the upstart kid...Tiger ...ha ha...let's see what he really has...by the way, Lefty continues his free fall. ..not making the cut...lots of blokes close, so it's a wide open one... The Pads played like crap and lost at Tampa...which just may be the worst stadium in the land...struck out 18 times...oh my...and reliever Thayer had a nightmare of an outing and the loss was all his...today we have the new flamer, Burch Smith , going...very interesting... Just a pair of awful games in the NBA last eve...obviously, the ref's bosses told the boys to call it real tight...which they did...and it made for some big time bore jobs...by the way, what on earth were the Warriors running?...the fans were even booing at home... Lilo doesn't like th...

Say it isn't so! ... the Idol fans voted Angie off the island .. .I didn't figure in the southern vote. ..as the contestants from there always win...she was from Massachusetts...and the remaining two?...from the south...and with that...it makes it a perfect circle...bad judges, bad fans choices, bad ratings... she, however, will be just fine and will be the next big thing ...this I know... Did you watch any of the Player's? ...it's like so tough...the course...if you make one mistake, it eats you up...water and sand all over the place...some unknown shot a 9 under... Rory and Tiger lurking ...it's a great one, I tell you... Did you see the home run that the A's hit , but the umps said it wasn't?...9th inning...at Cleve...and the refs got to review it and still said it wasn't... OMG! ... you just knew it had to be Angel Hernandez ...the baseball equivalent to basketball's Joey Crawford...and yup, it was him...what a jerk!... Hollywood Park...

Good morning kids... took the day off yesterday ....did you miss me?...I played golf in the am and didn't have enough energy to get on the net...have to get ready for my next T on Saturday... Staying on that subject... the Players is this week...and it is considered the 5th Major ...all the bigs will be there...and it has high drama... Adam,Tiger, Lefty, Rory , you know, the usual suspects...the famous island green...if you like golf, you will be watching... Break up the Pads! ...as they swept the Marlins ...OK, OK, Miami may not be the best team in the world, but hey...we haven't been either...and we have moved past the Dodgers in the standings....what?...off to Tampa for the weekend...let's see if we can keep it up...by the way, we have a highly touted rook going real soon... Burch Smith ...98 mph flamer, so they say... What a mess that Heat/Bulls game was... 9 technical fouls and a couple of ejections ...if I didn't watch part of it (that's all I could ...

So what do we have here...the Pads are playing BETTER baseball...shut out the Miami Marlins...5-0...OK, SD is now 9-3 over the last 12...good chance again tonight...oh yea, and the starter Cashner went in to the 8th...very good stuff... all good...let's see...I haven't talked much about the rookie 2B Jedd Gyorko ...pronounced Jerk-O...really...as he continues to impress...a real live bat...and def he's better at second than 3rd...defensively... What is going on in the punch less east?...the mightily feared Heat got beat at home...by the injury ladled Bulls...it's the system kids...and they play great NBA D...not to be confused with great NCAA D...which is much better. ..there's that word again...must be the word of the day...AND...I turned off the Warrior/Spur game...GS was up by 14 with 4 minutes to go...and am looking at the highlights later in the night....and what?...SA came back and won!...what?...it's the better system kids... What a tale about the ...

Have you ever thought about a daily miracle that most of us have...taken for granted?... the DAILY NEWSPAPER ...as we pay a nominal fee for the printed account of the day prior...I know, you youngins say it's all online and you can get it for free ...it's not the same...the printed stuff is something that you can dwell on for longer...I guess that's good...and it has the local stuff...stores and all...yet, like what you young whipper snappers may be right in some ways... the number of daily papers has fallen to less than 1400 throughout the country ...the deadline is about 11 or so...it gets printed and out by 4 in the am... amazing ... What else is there on a daily basis that you take for granted?... Your puppy lurves you unconditionally...and... You need to take her out for her thing... The coffee makes your day much brighter and clearer... You have hot water to bathe in or shower in... You flick a switch and have light ... Turn on the TV and the whole worl...

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...
