Bam

ZIP...went the Pads in an embarrassing event in DC...Buditch outdid himself...leaving his starter in to bruise like no other...teach the kid a lesson...Robbie Erlin...as he was getting hammered by the Nationals...and rather than get him out of the situation...he left him in to get a taste of the bigs...let him suffer through 8 earned runs...hey, I know a bunch of the old school managers would do this...save the rest of the arms of the bullpen...in an 11-1 debacle...I find it disgusting and am appalled by the actions...oh yea, and Gyorko struck out 3 times until he finally got a hit...this team has to be on the far end of positive...if you know what I mean...and...what major league team has a .145 hitter batting 4th this late in the season?...you guessed it...the mighty Pads...

BOOM...as the owner of the Clips went over the line...as he brought racial lines back into play...as his comments about not bringing Blacks to his games....well, it's a new low to a guy that sets the bar...just listen to the backlash on the tube today...it will be all over it...and deservedly...

BAM...the Rockets played like it was their last one...as they beat PDX in the Rose City...not that the Blazers didn't have their chances...they did...but missed some bombs that would have sealed it up...and on it goes...this is repeated...if Portland would double the high pick, this series would be 3-0...I'm just saying...bewilders me...

ZAP...my team went to 14 under out at Maderas...a real test of a course...a hefty jaunt there in Poway...get this...2 of my guys hit the ball 275-295 legit...really...and I was the Claven...not use to that predicament in a scramble...ha ha...and get this...on all the par 5's, they used the enlarged cups...have to admit, the USGA is considering them...DON'T...it seems like cheating...my claim to fame?...hit a 290 yard drive on the long drive hole....and one of my big banger buds went by me by two yards....don't know the results of the T yet...got to figure we were 1st or 2nd...oh, by the way, that's a gross 58...no handicaps used...

POOF...went the stock market...go figure...I have no clue why...my Apple stock continues to rise, however...it jumped 42 points on Thursday...and 4 yesterday...if a bloke invested a bundle in that time frame you could retire on it...

BIFF...?...not sure that was one of Batman's...as the Indio area gets another Woodstock...this time it't the country peops...it's called Stagecoach...think about that...it makes sense...and all your pretty pseudo stars will be pictured...just can't imagine the K fam in boots, can you?...

BANG...the guy who once roamed Petco at 3B...Kevin Kouzmanoff...who since has been wallowing in the minors...got a big break at Texas...had a terrific week after being called up...won the AL player of the week...and then BANG!...went down with a bad back...too bad, as I am pulling for him...after all, he lived in the GQ when here...he was from the hood...

POW...for all the ridiculous play of the Padres, they (we) are still but 2 1/2 games back from the top...really?...how close?...if just scoring 3 runs a game, would mean a significant amount of wins...???...Cashner goes today...this am...watch it...Carlos Quentin, where are you?...
