The Derby

Image
Ah hem, the Kentucky Derby ...matches any sport's singular important event...like golf's Masters...or football's Super Bowl...you get me drift...it's the day of the horses...3 yr olds...as millions of people stop...and watch the event at Churchill Downs...a place where this Horse has never been ...the track will reportedly host over 200,000...yup, it's the real deal... So who do I have?...as I said yesterday, I have 2...out of 20...there is not a lot of early speed in this particular race...so handicapping is extremely tough...the closers have to find a path through a lot of others...so... I picked Nyquist to get out and maybe hold on...or...my main choice, Mohaymen , to come out of the pack... Andy the Capper has his Creator ...shoot, it just may be a crap shoot...haven't got me tix yet...have to stroll on over to Striders in the am... Hey now, the Pads looked like a dang good squad last eve...beating the Mets again...this time a shut out, 2-0 ...great...

National Beverage Day

Image
SHHHH...not so loud...me head a hurts...the Cinco de Mayo thinger...and guess what just happens to follow...the very next day?... the National Beverage Day ...what?...it should be the Pillow Day...anyway...a fun time had by all...this was after...you guessed it... The Horse went back to his dark side ...a request from his Son for their matrimonial weekend at the end of the month...and like any good father, his request was accepted...geez, already miss me blondish locks...ha ha... got our troupe some Amtrak tix and we are ready to go...all aboard!... What is going on with them Repubs? ... the Speaker of the House, the potential helicopter candy man, Paul Ryan...said he was not sure he could endorse the Donald at this time ...of course...he is waiting out the conventional delegate numbers...cuz, if Trump doesn't get it on the 1st round, Ryan may step forward...for the "good of the party" and let his name drop from ...well, you pick your spot...foolish foo, as the race...

Confused?

The Repubs are an odd lot, right?...as the last combatant to the Donald gave it up, too...Kasich...now it is only Trump ...yup, who'd a thunk it 10 months ago...well, the Horse did ...is the party fractured?...there is a lot of air space taken up by the doubters...count me as NOT one of them...they will be just fine...as the Demos have their own problems ...it will be a highly contested race, as usual...and I am not making any predictions until I see the 1st debate...nope, not until then... Yes, we did figure it all out... we are not moving ...not now...the house was perfect, but not for right now...we have at least a couple of more years here...at least ...thanks to all those who wished we would stay... You have to hear this...we had a club T out at Sycuan ...where there was a yellow ball that was involved...ha ha...each hole, a different player was stuck using it ...and counted as one of the two scores...coupled with the best of the other 3...got it?...OK...well, our tea...

Smoke On The Water

Your poli-ticks became way clearer after the results from Indiana were revealed...at least from the Repubs...as the Donald trumped Raffy and the K man...it was a whitewash...he got all the delegates...and... Cruz and his side kick, Fiarina, pulled out of the race ...what?...did NOT see that coming...no word from Kasich...yet...the RNC Chair said that in fact, Donald Trump is there candy man! ...there you go...trust Horse...I have been saying this for over than 6 months... However... the path for the Demos was muddled ...as t he Bern beat the Hilz in Indy...major upset...and adds more to the frustrations of the antiquated election system that the democrats...use...the bloody super delegates...in reality, their race is getting closer and closer... lots of innuendos that Sanders could win 6 of the last 9 states ...and still lose the election...ticks me off...and that's the reason I'm going independent... Sure...it appears that it will be a Trump / Clinton showdown...and ...

Indiana

Image
Fess up, kids...how many of you have ever been in INDIANA? ...the supposed birthplace of the hoop world...hmmm...doubt that...anyway...this is the state that now has the distinction of doing the decided declaration of the Donald ...now THAT'S alliteration...if all goes as the polls say, this vote today would eliminate Raffy and Lucy ...which would be just fine for moi... The Hoosier state ...home of many pro teams ...the NBA Pacers, the NFL Colts, the MLB oops, nuttin here...the WNBA Fever...hmmm...and even more colleges...Indiana, Indiana St, Notre Dame, Purdue, Butler, Ball St, Valparaiso, and others ...in that tiny little piece of the USA!...you'd think with all them schools that the Bern would have the advantage ...hmmm, don't think so...close, but it's the Hilz... You see the finish of the Spurs / Thunder game?... wack job ...as the officials swallowed their whistle...on a bizarre inbounds play...where the inbounder elbowed the defender out of the way...wh...

Iced Coffee Monday

Image
If there is a way, there is a lawyer that will bring a frivolous lawsuit...imagine if one wins, it is 40% off the top for him or her...almost as bad as the lobbyist system we have...so, sure, let's bring a $5 million dollar case against the coffee giant, Starbucks ...$2 mill for the attorney fees, sure...lets see where this goes...too much ice... he or she is licking his or her frozen lips... Good Monday morning! ...how u doing?...me?...gots to do the bills some time today...boo... we did find a beaut home in Kensington...well, that's all I can say right now... Met up with our SD daughter and her fiancé last night in the GQ...hmmm...well, my head is hurting a bit...is the word "rowdy" still being used?...fits the situation perfectly....I digress... The Pads did put up a terrific fight against the Bum's Kershaw...lost however, 1-0...is there promise on the horizon?...funny I'd say that after a loss...but... Golden St lanced the Blazers...up 20...

Prez O

Did you catch the Prez talking at his last White House Correspondent's Dinner? ...he was fab...man can that man speak...which is why he got elected in the first place, I spoze...had me chuckling lots...as he roasted anyone that had the guts to show...and even those who didn't...Hilz and the Donald...if you haven't seen it, it's worth the rerun...and... makes me wish that there weren't term limits on the presidency... BTW, the latest poll numbers has Trump over Raffy by 16 points in the crucial Indiana vote ...the runaway train is still chugging on...interestingly, I have seen no mention to the Demo race...why is that?...actually is a much closer contest...finally found it... Clinton by 4 points over Sanders... No match was the debacle in San Antone ... OKC put up a dreadful effort in their humiliating loss to the Spurs...and, gulp...yup, I am eating me words...Aldridge played terrifically...have to think a lot of credit goes to Pop and his system...to chan...
