Launching Pad

Morning all...I'm talking games for the 2nd day of the NBA playoffs...well...the 1st 3 games yesterday, were all won by the UNDERDOGS!...and the Sonics, er Thunder, held serve...a huge day if you are in to betting these bloody things...

OK, I am really interested in the Rocket/Blazer game...as the form looks to be sketchy...I mean...the referees have their own agenda...diff than the regular season...so...maybe PDX has a a chance...and then the Heat...who have stumbled along quite a bit in the last month...will they follow the pattern of the Pacers?...

Padres...well now...won 2 straight against the suddenly powerless Giants...hmmm...Buster Posey mired in a one for 22 slump....nice!...we got timely hitting again...and the pitching staff had another very good outing...and go for the sweep at noonish today...hip hip...the negative?...we trotted out old broke down Headley at 3B...and he was, well, turrible...if we must, put him 7th...I digress...the real positive?...Buditch ran a successful suicide squeeze to get run number 3!...the 1st time I can remember him doing so, EVER!...3-1...and now we are at level for the year...

Pink slip time for the NBA coaches..."Hit the road, Jack"...for the guys who didn't make the playoffs...as the billionaire owners, play fantasy hoops with their little tinker toys...wait, do you remember that?...used to spend hours messing with them sticks...so far, have got to think that the Knicks bloke will be the 1st to go...

LPGA...their event in Oahu...was a Wednesday to Saturday affair...and the winner was Michelle Wie...who has been playing better and better...lurve her knock down irons...her putting stance?...almost, well, I'll leave that up to you...

Miguel Angel Jiminez...you know him?...50 year old Spanish golfer...who competed quite nicely in the Masters, just a few weeks back...is in his first (?) seniors event and is leading...I mention this, as he warms up with a stogie between his lips...ha ha...he's the MAN!...sports a pony tail...has a beer belly...and is lurved by all...so it is said...

The missing plane?...oh my...now they have a sub that is designed to do the search thing...way under the ocean...if there...it will be found, right?...I still have my doubts as to where it is...

Can you believe that Vietnam is now a place of destination...to sit back and enjoy?...some times I think that our nation has lied to us, miserably...if we go to war, the congress should be right there in the mix...on the front lines...

LiLo been dumped by Oprah....geez, didn't see THAT coming...
You think that the K fam has ever gone to school?...or are they home schooled by Mama K?...
If you show this, then you make THAT much...$$$...
It's all about the money, right?...
Nobody watches Idol...the fall of the dynasty....
The Biebs has weathered the petition to get him booted from the US of A...
Coachella...where you must be seen if you go...
So much for the important stuff...

Easter...as the religious peops celebrate the resurrection of Jesus...and do so in many ways...morning services the norm...and the coloring of eggs having significance...remember, not that long ago, when NOTHING was open on Sundays?...the times have changed my friends...what % of the peops are church goers?...I believe it is much greater in smaller communities...just an observation, that's all...

And so it goes, 4-20-14...
