Merry Padres

Image
Take this name... AJ Preller ...and keep it in your Santa suit ...as the new GM of the Padres , he has made sweeping changes to this listless ball club...and the results are... FAN tastic! ...we are in shock!...working on a totally new OF...new C, and...new SS...and the hits keep right on a coming. ..albeit at a price...giving some quality maybes...which are usually just that...for some quality right now blokes...am I excited?...you bet I am... off to spring training I will go ...it's true...wanna go with me?... Let's open our presents ...the biggest of them all?...we just finalized the Matt Kemp deal...the best hitter we will have here since Tony Gwynn...really...with power...and in CF is former ROY, Will Myers ...and all the news sources say it is the Brave's Upton in the fold today...and in our RF...oh my...and we picked up All-Star C Norris from the A's...who can also play 1B...signed SS Barmes ...the pitching added flamer Morrow , resigned Josh Johnson ...an...

CUBA!

And there is backlash to easing the tension between tiny little Cuba and the US of A ...what?... Prez O worked his management skills on the other Castro ...and there is progress...relations are finally working the right way...ah hem...but there are those out there...that want to KEEP THE BAN! ...and it's not just the RePubs...I don't get it... seems to me, any break in a 60 year feud is a good thing ...and for goodness sakes, then we can legally purchase some of them fine Cuban cigars ...right?...remember the olden days, when the state of Oregon banned the sale of Coors beer?...oh my, not that it's the same thing...and lordy, the island would lurve to have some new cars to drive around... how long can you keep the 60's Chevys a running?... You figuring out a stoppage on a movie that attacks North Korea? ... it's a spoof ...and the humor appears crude...duh...and yet, there have been warnings of retribution to theaters who run the flick...what?...I suppose the...

The NBA's Best

Image
The NBA's BEST team right now...is the...drum roll please... the Memphis Grizzlies ...what?... starring none other than the former JailBlazer, ZBo! ...what?...it's the truth...sort of...as he is part of the team, not the major focus...they have depth, defenders, shooters, and the BEST BIG in the biz...what?...yup, the other Gasol...Marc ...they play hard...they play together...and they play at their own pace...near an ugly tempo ...but you have to give them their due...and just could be their time... They beat the streaking Warriors ...albeit at home...and the two bigs from GS are injured...tabbed "the brittle bros" ...but the shock and awe of the Bay Area guards, are like real fun to watch ...and could be a force once their power (?) guys return...hmmm... My fantasy team got thumped in the playoffs...as the QB's that have been throwing the ball all over the field...have turned conservative... BOOOOOO ....and I suffered for it... We are getting this wet...

New

As I am riding the rails back home to SD, I have come to the conclusion that Crazy Horse has to come to an end.  In name only...the same jibber jabber will continue...just its time for the name of the blog to mature...or evolve...something...thus, a new title. I have a few in mind...you might have some too....send them my way...so, in the new year...it will happen... Horse...with no name , is one...T Bone, another...Tee Bone, too...Hoarse, also...Gaslamp Sun...Gaslamp Hoof Prints... What you think?... By the way, how'd Johnny Football fare?....ha ha...and the Bolts are bolted to the turf.... Great trip seeing my boy and his girl... PDX beat a starless Spur team....I'd want my money back on that one... Merry Christmas!

Mere Formality

Santa says hey! The winner of the Heisman Trophy ...is... Marcus Mariota ...and the fans of the UO Ducks rejoice yet again...what makes this even sweeter, is that this is a class act ...his acceptance speech, no more of evidence of what most everyone says about him...super stuff... On to more football...as the NFL heats up again today...no bigger game ever, well, that's a bit dramatic...than for the Bolts ...as they host the Broncos...at 1ish... a win and there is a 91% chance for making the playoffs ...truth in that?... my source is a bloke on the elevator ...CH has dipped to new levels of reliability....my dilemma is that 3 of my key guys on my Fantasy Football team, are on the Broncs....and I'm in the playoffs for goodness sake...OK, we want a 54-53 game...and SD can win ... What's with the Clip Joint? ...losing to Milwaukee?...c'mon guys...and PDX beat Indy at Indy...in a laugher...odd, because just last week, the Blazers beat that same team in the PNW...
