Day Three

Image
Morning kids...this is just a quickie, as I am hitting the links in a short bit...but, how about the Masters? ...egads, the course won on day 2, right? ...your leader, Jordan Spieth , came back to the pack...problem is, nobody could score in that wind...emerging, however, was the other kid... Rory McIlroy ...one back...and there you have it...the "Dream Pairing" ...reminder to both...it's not a match play ...there are others so close ... play YOUR game ... Have a super Saturday, ya'll...

Rare-ified Air

I don't think I have ever done this before...ran with the same guy on back to back blogs ...it is historical...hey, Pads, you got nuttin on moi...yessiree, Bob...I have Jordan Spieth featured again...what?...he deserves it... well, it's not the SAME pix, but the same dude... The Masters...er, the Master. ..as he caressed a 66 on the first day...already leads the field by 2...what makes this so crazy...is that the last year champ has many duties as the returner for this T...hosts a dinner of past champs...and, well, hosts...and gives thousands of interviews...as there are pundits galore covering this event...who wouldn't want the gig?... It's a start ...there are 3 more days...duh...as Lefty pointed out to any who would listen...but, to start the way that Jordan did, just may pave the way to a blow out ...my pix?... Jason Day ...was rolling along, one back from Spieth...and then...boom!... choke city on two straight holes ...fell 6 back...sounds familiar, boys?...

The Masters

Image
The most prized possession of all for the Pro Golfers, is the green sport coat garnered by the winner of the Masters ...it is the one week, er 4 days, of everything these dudes have worked their game for... it is, the embodiment of golf ...and it is upon us today... yup, I picked Jason Day ...but it is a crap shoot...as many of the guys have a chance...they are so good...get hot right now...and they change their golfing lives forever... pictured is last year's winner, Jordan Spieth... Oh my... the Padres have set a MLB record ...really...one that has been sacred for way over 100 years...yes, it is true...San Diego has it now... the 1st team ever, EVER, to go scoreless for the 1st 27 innings of a new season...breaking the record of 26 ... we, are, the, worst, in the history of the game ... to start a new season ...scored nuttin...zero...zilch...goose egg...nada...nil...blank...zip...shutout...you got that right...albeit, we got screwed in the 5th or 6th inning...as we actually ...

Political Chaos

My oh my...what have we here?...the winners in Wisconsin were... Raffy and Bern ...well now... this throws the wrench in the tool box, now doesn't it ...for Sanders, that is 6 of the last 7 states that he has won ...a dilemma that can't sit too well with the DNC Super Delegates...who are the difference between he and Hilz...hmmm...and... the longer the Donald roams the yard, the more he digs holes in it...like a wild digger dog ...he wasn't ever going to win the Badger state, but his antics didn't help his cause... So on we go to the key state ...the most important of them all at this time...hmmm, I suppose I could say that most every week...but this one....yes, this one...has mucho... the Repubs have 94...and the Demos have 291 ...hey, they have so many cuz of them SD's...who, by the way, have already committed to Clinton...OK, I am talking about New York ... THIS will be the truest indicator of where these races are going... Horse thinks that there coul...

Wild, Wild, Finish

The play that will be talked about for years... YEARS , I tell ya...the winning hoop in the Big Dance...as Villanova hit the shot of ages to beat North Carolina...at the buzzer...enough to make me jump off my couch...ha ha... The game itself was not a spectacular one ...normal ebb and flows of two very good teams... the officiating was odious ...what was called was mysterious...stopped the flow of the game...and... for all the notoriety that UNC's Coach Williams gets...the 'Nova Coach had more impact on in game happenings... Still... the Tar Heels hit a prayer themselves...with 4.7 seconds to go , to tie the bloody thing up...a time that I think that coaches should be fouling a dude ...so he can't attempt a 3 ball...and be stuck with 2 FT's...most don't do this...I don't get it...anyway...it set the stage for the last second shot... Which Villanova has in it's arsenal of plays ... just...for...that...situation ...to win the...National Championshi...

Opening Day

Image
The long awaited "Opening Day" of the new MLB season is upon us...as the Padres host the talent ladened Bums of LA ...it's at 3 or 4 in the afternoon here at Petco...I do not have tix...t he spring season has been dismal for SD. ..so much promise about the rebuilding of the team...hmmm...the only thing that happened by the highly touted GM (Preller), is that we moved our best players...for prospects ...which are just that...gone is our best long ball hitter, Jason Upton...gone is our stud closer, Kimbrel...gone is our starting 2B...Gyorko, gone is our starting 1B, and gone is our set up guy...what we have left, for the most part is what we have left...did pick up a kid from St Louis...but...the starting pitching, that gave up monster amounts of home runs...returns...needless to say anymore... this will be a disastrous season ...the stadium is sold out...albeit, listen closely...as at least half the fans there, will be LA ones...this area loves the Bums... Normally, ...

Portable Phones

It wasn't that long ago, that we all had landlines ...I'm talking phones, kids...just switched from rotary ones to push buttons ...had an enormously long, curly cord, that we could carry the hand set all over the house, er apartment, er condo...whatever...you know what I mean...and then came along the cell phone ...the yuge white thinger that we all thought was so cool...very quickly, they were reduced in size (whew!) and we put them in our cars ...the phone world had changed forever...now... we are talking into little computers ...that do everything...and every year, a new shape and style is produced and thrown at the public...and...we buy them... Apple is the industry leader ...they have unleashed a much smaller iPhone ... the SE ...hmmm...I bought into the big one last year... the 6 Plus ...it is a marvelous piece of intelligence...but...it is too big to hold and talk into...and carry around, if you are a feller...so...the latest is very intriguing...the only hangup...is...
