Can It Be Done?

Image
The big question is, "Can it be done?" ...the Triple Crown...at the Belmont ...NY...where these beautiful animals, with a rider, travel a mile and a half...and it's up to California Chrome to break the streak of 36 straight failures ...at doing such a feat... what do I think?...my heart says yes...but me brain says it is a long shot ...why?...the extra distance...greatly fear the two horses that I also picked in the Derby... Curlin and Saamrat ...of course, I will bet CC and hope for the best...it's this Saturday... EEGADS, another mistake...thanks to Cliffy who corrected me on this...the Belmont is June 8th!!! How long has it been for the missing plane? ...poof...vanished in thin air...really?...and nobody is talking about it anymore...I just can't buy this... when we spend so much airtime on the ridiculous KK wedding...for someone to have a 3 peat ...well...I can see it if we are talking the Heat earning something thrice...silly silly silly... Why is ...

The efforts of the last two Bum's pitchers , Beckett and Ryu , was anything but remarkable...as they approached a feat that no one else had ever done... threw back to back no hitters in MLB ...and the 2nd, was even perfect through 7...got tired and poof!...it was done...and...these aren't even their top two in their rotation...just to tell you how deep this team actually is... 2 of the guys that we traded away in the last few weeks, had big days for their new teams... Blanks had a dinger for the A's ...and Hundley had the go ahead rbi in OT for the O's ...good for them...as they were decent blokes, riding the pine here... The Heat just toyed with the Pacers in their game number 4...and are up 3-1...Indy complained about the refs...ha ha...in the NBA?...naw...come on...hey, I say there are shenanigans always going on a bit...there is a lot of $ bet on these... Pomona Pitzer 's own former QB Hochuli ...yup, that one...the son, not the daddy...has been one of ...

Honor

Memorial Day ...where we honor those who have given their lives for our country ...it's a very somber time...when a patriot is brought home in a coffin...as they have fought for the rights of what they enlisted for...there is no debate about what they have done...the debate has to do with whomever sent them there in the 1st place... The tele was flashing the numbers of Americans that have lost their lives in the big wars of this relatively new society... the greatest amount?...the Civil War, followed by the 2nd World War... It's not the time to question the strategies and diplomacies of this nation ...not now...but to honor those who bravely followed their orders...and gave their life in doing so... And then on to my most mundane stuff... Golfing things...as over the pond in England...the once mighty proud Rory McIIroy , fresh from an engagement break up...as he announced it prior to teeing off on Thursday...came from 7 shots back and won the T....his 1st since 2012....

Deranged

I usually talk about frivolous things that don't mean a heck of a lot to the average bloke...just little snippets that enter me brain...and then this comes along...and I get all frustrated...and have no clear answer for it... mass shootings ...as witnessed by the latest in my son's beautiful city of Santa Barbara... I'm not going to go into the details...as they are gruesome and unacceptable...and yet, the availability of guns doesn't change...the NRA has such monetary power that Congress can't and won't change...their lobby has a hand in every senator and congress person's pocket... Does this mean that terrifying acts like these will stop?...it's a step, kids...and if there are stricter regulations it will help...to do NOTHING is wrong....and all of Congress needs to take a look at themselves and say at what price do we shamefully accept the $ that we get... More other numbing things... Can we finally let this K fam thing end?...as the ...
