CRAZY HORSE

Like in PURE DOMINANCE! ... Martin Kaymer ...up by 6 in the US Open at the halfway point...back to back 65's...on a course that has some just scratching their heads...just ask Bubba what he thinks of it...hey, I know...there is another 36 holes to go...but for now... just a brilliant start ...and...all 5 of my pix made the cut...it's up to him to keep it going...usually, this type of lead stands up...but...there is so much pressure in this game...all by yourself... I haven't watched a bit of the Stanley Cup Playoffs until last eve...as the LA Kings won it...in double OT...have to admit, these blokes are very fine athletes ...and the game itself, is soooo much more exciting than soccer...not sure exactly what a foul is...as they ram into each other all the time...and where were the fights?...thought that was part of the game?... No changes for the Badres ...and I mean that...as they looked pathetic again ...playing a road trip against other turrible teams...and are...

Let's give credit, where the credit is due... Gregg Popovich ...alias "Pop"... taking the young coach of the Heat...and learnin' him a thing or two ...as the Spurs are running circles around King James and Miami...almost embarrassing...the ball doesn't stick (players holding to go one on one)...the bodies move and so does the ball...and the Heat keep chasing...on the replays I see the one who gets lost the most...James...ha ha...and he chastises his mates the most...ha ha... Go 3 -1 and head back to San Antonio...just don't see a change...when the players start shaking their heads, it's over...and it is...and well...you think that the SDSU product, Leonard, can't play? ...he has taken the high road and gone to a different level... Part Deux ... Martin Kaymer ...you don't win the US Open in the 1st 2 rounds...but you can lose it...and he is on top of his game...and get this...I am the ONLY ONE who has him in the pool...almost like he's ...

Par is good...for this event... the 2014 version of the US Open ...as you know I'm in a group that tries to predict the eventual winner...and I have won two of the 3 events thus far ...hmmm...and this time, I went out of the country....what?... you want Lefty ...and if you listen to him, you'd think it was his already...not so fast my friends...you need blokes who plod around the course...and keep the ball in play...and putt lights out...you like the young sensation Spieth?...maybe... but I went for some others...settled on McIlroy, Rose, McDowell, Kaymer...and my long shot?...Matsuyama ...another youngin with a great short game... Game number 4 of the NBA finals ...each game is different... the changes that Pop made to his Spurs...nothing more than brilliant ...having his number 3 and 4 guys attack the hoop...and the Heat were lost...and did lose...with the incredible record of non back to back losses, Miami must be favored tonight...so who does what?... LeBron must domina...

Breaking...another school shooting...this time at a high school in Oregon... THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED! ...c'mon Congress, do YOUR job... Morning kids...as we are engaged in the playoffs for the world champs...it's that time where the other teams adjust their lineups and management...and two of the greatest names in the sport, the Lakers and the Knicks , are without coaches...hmmm...you know, I am not that crazy about signing a player to coach a team...it takes a bit to figure out what to do...the prep work is no where close to just doing it...like you do as a player...and managing players is probably the hardest at the highest level...anyway...the NBA owners kind of are followers and once one of 'em does it, the domino theory takes over...expect NY to sign PG and player rep, Derek Fisher ...he has his past with GM Phil Jackson...lordy, they get a huge amount to do that job...pretty much set for life in just 5 years... There are those who still figure that Pop's Sp...

Sure seemed like THE number this weekend was... ELEVEN ... 11 ...as I watching the Golf Channel , as like in channel surfing...and happened on this ending of the Web.com event ...in Ohio...not that I would ever watch that tour and definitely not know 99% of the members...I guess you call them that...participants maybe better...the group right below the PGA blokes...anyway...it was OT for a couple of 'em ...one was from New Zealand and one from Australia...and it went on and on...as they continued to par holes for ties... Alker and van der Walt (?)...kept going and so did I...took eleven holes to settle the event...as Alker prevailed with a birdie...whew... The aftermath of the Belmont Stakes ...interesting complaint by the Chrome owner...but this is horse racing, bub...very little ever gets changed...and this will just be that...a suggestion...that will be tabled... the concept of having only the Derby eligible ones as combatants in ANY, of the Triple Crown races...will never ...

Another possible winner, not being able to go the distance at the Belmont Stakes ...as California Chrome was in position to fire...and couldn't...loads of reasons...most of all, the 3 races in 5 weeks...and the track's condition is heavy...so the come from behind ones have trouble...on this surface...and if you listened to the part owner after the race...he told you exactly how he felt...and there are those that would say "sour grapes", er "poor loser"...true...but he is also right!...there are such strict regulations to get your horse into the Kentucky Derby...and after that, poof!...those are gone...one might say competitive balance...hmmm... As I wrote yesterday, my greatest fear is the horse ridden by Joel Rosario ...who is the best jockey in the world...and yup...he was the winner... And this just out... Chrome had a bad hoof...kicked by himself, or by the horse next to him in the gate...doesn't take much, when you weigh that much on such sp...
