Chapter 4

Image
The team that dominated the NBA this past season...the Golden St Warriors ...showed up to play last night in Ohio...unlike in game 3...and emerged in the 2nd half...and WON! ...now lead 3-1 in the champ series....as it goes back to Alameda...but... The MVP Curry .. .had his 1st real input to the games...most of it...cuz...either the Cavs ran out of gas...or, Coach Steve Kerr, had the right guys rotate up to screen him...thus Cleveland got lost in the transition...hmmm...maybe a combo...then... Curry started knocking down...OPEN shots ...from long range...the diff... However...the scuffle that LeBron (no longer the king, kids) had with Draymond...appeared to me as James was the initiator. ..don't trust the league on this...fear that they will suspend Green for game 5...hmmm...to try to get the series back to Cleveland...really?...$$$...hope I'm wrong... I was switching back and forth between the hoops and the Pads game...in Colorado...yeoman performance from RP Per...

Quake!

Got a message that there was an earthquake around 1ish this past night...centered around Borrego Springs ...like an hour and half east from here....had no idea...as we were asleep...many after shocks...of lesser amounts...I think the original was a 5.2 ...these high rises are built to handle them...so they say...felt all the way from San Diego up to Los Angeles...think that mother nature is warning us of the pending Demo platform?...just kidding, calm down....our friends on the 32nd floor felt it big time...woke them up, as the building was swaying...and THAT is why I like living on the 5th floor... Huge day for MLB ...as the teams did their draft yesterday....of the dudes who will hopefully sign on to the teams that picked 'em... the Padres had 3 of the first 34 ...the fact, that the management has been bragging about this for some time... SD chose a P from Stanford...who has had TJ surgery...and hasn't pitched for awhile...???...to me, ultra scary pick for a number 8 ...

What Was That?

For a team to dominate the other in Alameda, the Golden St Warriors , gave a sucky performance in their game number 3 in Cleveland... geez, especially the MVP Curry...who resembled more of a kid lost in a YMCA game, right? ...or... the Cavs woke up ...big time...maybe a combo of the two...I've never seen the likes of the off line clangers thrown up by GS ....odd and mysterious...on the other hand, Kyrie Irving was spot on ....hmmm...just weird stuff... Young man there is no need to feel down... Try this on for size... the mighty Padres are 1-19 in close out games for their series thus far this season....egads... think there is a reason for being on the bottom of the west? ...BTW, the recently traded and departed... James Shields...left with a big bang...criticizing his former team..."they didn't give me enough run support" ...amongst other things...well now...he opened up for the Chi White Sox yesterday....gave up 3 dingers...in 3 innings...left to boo...

Here Tis

My hat goes off to the winner in Cali ...and, yup, it was Hillary ...there is no more ifs ands or butts... Bernie, it is time...that you must concede ...let's get on with this... Clinton vs Trump ....in a most improbable match...like...ever...don't you think?... when is the 1st debate?...can't wait... Just a quickee this am...as I am hitting the links...like early...the show last night... Haley Reinhart ... she is really talented...can sing, looks to kill, with a fine band ...but...to me, needs to sing a few more covers...much of what we heard was good, but have no idea what they were... Get this...our waitress lost my Visa card ...at first denied, I gave her one...then she said I already signed for the bill...what?...then said she would look for it...and then...gulp...said there was no card with that name anywhere...45 minutes later she plopped it down on my table...said it was 2 tables down...hmmm...no apologies, no nothing.... cash, kids....always cash, at this...

It's the Hilz

According to NBC News...it is now apparently official...that Hillary Clinton has enough delegates to claim the Demo side of the Prez Race ...how did this happen without any states voting?...it's the super delegate thing...there you go...as much as I hate the system, it is what it is...embrace it and move on...but... the people of the Demos should revolt for the next election...VOTE out the super delegate thing... There are 6 states voting for today, i.e. Cali ...how does this affect those who are doing so?...no one knows for sure, but it's exactly what the DNC wants...do some of you feel manipulated?...well now, I think she would have probably won it anyway...but, let's let the PEOPLE decide, not some elite group of unattached Demo deciders...who do what they want, with absolutely no ties to any of the voting peops... OK, I have driven my point home... Ah voting... how does this phenomena apply to the sports world? ...when it comes to all stars in MLB, for one...le...

Monday Decaf

Yup, I was the bloke who said that the Warriors would not repeat ...egads...me thinks that I was way wrong...man, I just read an article about why the Cavs lost ...gave very few reasons why that GS pulverized Cleveland...what?... you have GOT to be kidding me ...geez, and ref Scott Foster was doing the game...and Golden St STILL won... Had an interesting table talk last night on poli-ticks...over at the Dude's hacienda... why is it that so many peops are not enamored with the Hilz?. ..yet, she is probably the leader in the club house...I suppose the least of all evils is the reason...I dunno...let's wait for tomorrow's results in Cali...then we'll talk some more... How'd that relief corps method of handling the 3rd game with the Rockies go?...ha ha... talking the Padres....got beat up...badly....duh ...guess what?...another inept team rolls into SD...the Atlanta Braves...once the proud and the darlings of the cable TV world...now?...probably the worst team...

The Heat

Image
"The heat, my gawd, the heat" ...actually, not around here...but covers most of the west coast...especially up in Calabasas ...north of LA in the area that houses the rich and famous, well, rich...one of them dang wild fires... the desert is in the 111* territory ....egads, I read that Portland, OR is about at 97* !...what is happening?...it's the beginning of June... we are stuck in the low 70*, thank you...just right... How about them Padres ... won again last eve ...thank gawd for the Rockies...who are loaded, yet, just seem to find a way to get beat by our rag, tag, group ...get this...cuz of our trade of the disgruntled (or inept, according to owner Ronny) James Shields, we have a gap in our starters for today's final game vs Colorado...so...remember that relief staff that gave up the 12-2 lead the other day?...well, they are back at it again...going to start and split the Sunday fray...ha ha... do not bet on us....duh... Jacks' Memorial T ...reminde...
