Sunshine Saturday

Image
We are finally awakening to... SUNSHINE! ...we have had countless days of cloudy am's...and loads of humidity...which is so bizarre...up and down SoCal...I say hurray...and now to the stuff... More info out on the killer from Loosiana ...he had planned his getaway...wigs and masks and all...and had a history of being a very bad guy...and he followed an unwritten pattern of taking others with him in self destruction...so sad...why in a movie house?...don't get it... The Pads hit 3 dingers and got the W in game 2 of the series with the Marlins...who by the way, are missing their two best blokes to injuries...however...another inept set of base running blunders made us all feel uneasy...no outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd...infield in...a slow dribbler to SS...the rule thereof...run on a grounder hit that way...nope, not us...and the bloke on 2nd did...another no no...he does whatever the guy ahead of him does...he is tagged out...stop, I could go on...anyway, it should have be...

Repeat After Me

Deja Vu , in a bad way...as there was yet another mass shooting ...in a, gulp, movie theater!....this time down in Loosiana...Lafayette...11 shot, including the killer... another act of cowardness ...that seems to have a grip throughout the world...people willing to take others for their own faults...the early statement is that this piece of shit was a drifter...there will be more to come out...and we continue to allow guns to anyone...and why do all these losers, the gunman, have 3 names? ...at least, that's what they release... Debi downer ...where did that phrase come from?...anyway... the listless Pads started a 4 game set with another of the bad teams in the NL...and, we came up empty. ..like got shut out...again...this time it was the Miami Marlins...managed by a GM, impostering as a coach...that in itself is an embarrassment...and oh my, the defense that was shown in the 6th, even my worst team ever...would not have thrown the ball as poorly as was done...and still, I ...

It's Your Choice

No matter where you turn...you're going to see the images and the statements from only one person running for Prez...only one...not Jeb, not Huck, not Hillary, but the Donald! ...and the momentum has snowballed...really!...why?...why now?... He's DIFFERENT ...he's not a politician...he is a guy that can boast about his money, his business plans and successes...he will say what many of the "in the biz" won't say...he's brash...he's bold...he calls them as he sees them...and many people like that...regardless of what he says... All this prior to the debates...which I think will trigger more responses...positive and negative...and from them, we all will get a clearer picture of what is going to happen with the Repubs...I will say this, his intimidating style can be very authoritative to  some...we'll see...and gosh, I see some doozies of feuds coming our way... Speaking of feuds ...what is going on in the pop girls world?...Taylor versus Nick...

Rare Earth

Image
You may remember the Psychedelic Band , Rare Earth ...known mostly for their hit "Get Ready" ...kind of a staple for the time period...definitely a cool song...head on over to iTunes and check it out... However, my main thing is the other reference to Rare Earth ... the conglomerate of 17 metals that are found....in, yup, the earth ...and what is the significance?...it's a very necessary element (play on words), in the construction of and the workings of lots of technology thingers....in particular, the cell phones!...and the mining of such, has been in the good old US of A...BUT... guess who is taking over in this process?...and it is a messy biz...and creates a smoggy situation...you got it, the maker of most of the phones, CHINA!...stay tuned to this issue, as it's going to increase in importance in the next year... you heard it here first...in the Horse blog... Our air went south...like not good...and the humidity is getting to us...very short tempers...as ...

Give Me A Break

Sure, you have just made the major moves of the decade with your team...the unraveling of the Blazers up in Portland...which that entire state thrives on...it's the, make that, THE sporting event!...and it's the product that all are attached to...I'm not kidding... The rivals are the Duck and Beaver collegiate football teams...an occasional soccer aficionado, and there you have it...it's the hot topic...and now...unable to keep their star player LaMarcus Aldridge in tow...they have scrambled to put together a bunch of no name dudes to represent... And to my total surprise, the Coach Terry Stotts , finally let out his feelings about the defensive strategy that he uses...he must be getting heat from other sources than the Horse...ha ha...and says he'll continue to have his bigs sag off high pick and roll screens...oh my...which leaves the helpless guards and forwards to try to either get over the top or go under the screens...and allow the best shooters in the N...

Monday Decaf

Image
Breaking News...the winner in OT of the Open...USA's Zach Johnson! ...Jordan Spieth one stroke back... You would think we are living in Florida ...the torrential rain...the thunder and lightning...the horrendous humidity...yup, the lack of air movement is so totally uncommon for us...and it's like that this am, too...I thought it was supposed to be gone by now...hmmm... I don't know the stats...but the Pads /Rockie game was postponed after 4 innings...first time forever...and the skies opened up...and went on and on...some areas up to 4 inches in 2 days...and above...see what I mean about SE weather?... Good enough for us to watch a lot on the pixels...and have popcorn and all...too bad the Open didn't complete the final round in one day...in lieu of playing it today... So who's in the hunt?...there are a bunch of blokes possible...including an amateur...a vet, and yup, Spieth...and many others...watch out for Jason Day...the Aussie...shoot, we could be ...

3rd Round

Wait...it's the Open ...and you are finishing it on...gulp...Monday?!...what?...blasphemy, I say...you keep telling us, that that's the way the game was meant to be played...in all of the elements...and yet...you say...not true...we are spreading this out an extra day...you Scots, I just dunno...seems like you are not what you say you are... If the Pads played the Rockies 162 times in a season, we would be the reps in the World Series for the National League...we HAVE their number...here's my take...they have a better lineup...but for some reason, are not playing up to it...I reckon that Woody is blasting them in the Denver Post...that is the correct rag for them, right?... OK, let's keep this positive ...the Pads have got a 4 game winning streak going...Matt Kemp has heated up...7 gamer going...and the closer Kimbrel is finally in form...absolutely devastating...Ty Ross had a super outing...just a fun thing, this winning... Put your foot in your mouth...extract....
