It took 19 innings of scoreless ball ...at home!...and we finally got fired up enough to score a bloody run...and that held up to win the game... the Pads ...after going 12 the night before and losing 1-0...turned it around and got our 1-0 V. ..ah, the sweet feeling of a plus...I guess you can say, that the Giants are going through the same as us... Today, two of the best pitchers in the game, SF's Baumgartner , and SD's Shields , go at it... probably another 1-0 thinger ...who knows... Let's look this over ... we are hitting the ball ...but right at blokes... except the 2B Gyorko ...who needs to either be sent down, or sat...he's beneath the level of major league...wonder when the brass figures this out... I see Spangenberg taking the spot ...plenty of speed....our C Norris, is an outright stud ...big presence...and has a good stick...and 1B Alonso, has started really well ...the others will...hopefully soon... The Masters ...3 things jump out.. .Jordan Spie...

The Masters

So it has begun ...and I'm back from a golf excursion to Borrego Springs ...in the desert...a 3 day event for some real hacks...actually, it was quite fun...had an 85 and an 88...not bad, as there are like OB's on most every bloody hole...and only was out once...the first day was a scramble...and oh my, the winds were wild that day...enuff of me... The Masters has begun...and the young one shot out of the gate... Jordan Spieth is 8 under and leading by 3!...ah, but there is a long way to go...and I get to watch these dudes play now...it's my fav of the year...for sure... The Pads ...well now...for all the enthusiasm... we have stumbled early...1-3 ...and got shut out for 12 innings in the home opener...you know my fear... I don't think much of Buddy's game management ...over the last 8 seasons...and in a tight 0-0 one, we had opps to advance runners to 3rd...by bunting...which he is so reluctant to do...in lieu?...we hit into double plays....Gyorko twice ......

Lead changes...bad calls...missed FT's...improper defenses...terrible offensive schemes...wait...it's the champ game...and the two best teams were struggling through it all ...emotions were high...stress and tension at it's utmost...for all concerned...as a viewing fan, it was great... had it all ... The 1st half was all Wisconsin ...yet, they were having a tuff time shooting the rock...but they were getting the calls...alas, the game was tied...Vegas was ecstatic!...just like it wanted...back to the real world... The 2nd half was a beaut...in fact, I had the Badgers as a "lights out" winner at one time...and then... Coach K ... adjusted his lineup with the bulk of the offense going to his frosh guards ...in particular a bench kid...one of his 8 scholarships...wait!...the high and mighty ultra rich Duke , has only 8 on their team?...I digress...and sat his bigs... And the guards went drive and dish crazy ...attacked the hoop...and got the points and t...

And you'd think that the Pads wouldn't do much more on the trade front ...right?...so wrong...as they picked up the, get this, the BEST CLOSER in the biz...from Atlanta...and the other bro of the Upton kid we got 4 months ago...for...2 guys we were going to release and 2 prospects...what?...more of a money deal, I suppose... Kimbrel and Upton are now Padres ... we just keep getting better ...does this mean we beat the Bums and Kershaw in the opener today?...in LA...hang on to your hat...it's a long ride...and will be a very good one... Chhhhhh changes... in Chi town with the Cubbies ...and all the hullabaloo about the "new Cubs" ...the park is not done...a battle field...and the team looked terrible in their opener versus the always solid Cardinals of Saint Looey...you get what you deserve... LPGA ...what a great finish in the Dinah Shore ...well...it's now some Japanese funded thinger...but at the same place, in Palm Desert...and the 1st major for th...

And all the Christians rejoice ...as he has risen! ...social media be abound with the message...kind of who's who that will Tweet their thoughts...you know, I'm not so sure about the positive functionality of the web net ...in this case, it is to spread the word...which is the mantra of most religions...or should I say all?... you don't see any atheists posts during this day, now do ya ... I am a believer , and I'm not one to make you feel the way I do...when I write, it is to give you MY THOUGHTS , and that is all... I think back to when all our parents were still with us ...and we would have family gatherings...and hide eggs for the boy...we took it for granted that that would never change... if you still have yours, don't you dare not be with them while you can ...odd sentence structure, but YOU KNOW what I mean... Duke vs Wisconsin...first of all, the Blue Devils were absolutely awesome...in all categories ...as they beat up Mich St... I think Coach K ...
