CRAZY HORSE

This game of baseball...MLB...can be a frustrating one...in particular, the endless amount of trades that the teams make...inevitably, it's the teams that may or can make the playoffs...and the ones who can't and want to build for the future...I can see that...build up the organization by giving up the here and now...for these bloody "prospects"... In fact, that is what Trader AJ is doing with our San Diego Padres...here is the rub...he is trading, er gifting, the guys that he brought in...when he took over the job last year...weird...right?...even odder is that the management is buying right into the turn about...OK...done deal...and let's wait and see if the latest ploy works...it'll take time...perhaps longer than AJ Preller will actually be here... We have traded many of them blokes away already...done...but...there is a snafu that smells up our San Diego Brass...and then all of us... Executive Director Ron Fowler ...has been bad mouthing those who w...

A declining market ...that of the game of ...gulp... golf ...a drop of roughly 15-20% of people actually playing a round of it...from a year ago...what?...some call it the "Tiger Impact" ...well, I do...since Tiger Woods has fallen off the map of the PGA world , so has his followers...really?...is there a correlation with the latest news out of Nike land?...the Oregon based company is ceasing to make golf clubs, balls, shoot, anything to do with the sport ...peops aren't buying the Tiger stuff...are more companies to follow suit?... hot rumor is that Golfsmiths is about to declare bankruptcy... Well now...I have Nike irons...suppose they will now be called "vintage" ...I lurve them...fuggit about replacement parts...better quit throwing clubs...cuz of Tiger, it may be time to find some newbies...to adorn my Nike bag...wait, that is "vintage", too...so are my Nike shoes... hey, Horse needs a total golf makeover!... remember the Nike Black ball?...

Morning, ya"ll...the bills are paid for another month...the coffee pot is full...the day starts off with some clouds, yet 70*...the news nerds are a talking full strength...the planes are flying in...time for some Horse sense... er, is that cents?... Super Pacs ...you know, the unfiltered money that mysteriously shows up in an account for them candy men and women, running for Prez...that YOUR Supreme Court deemed appropriate...you, er, the people, don't have the right to know who is giving what to whom...well, the figures are out...for the primaries...who had the most to play with?...this will surprise you...Jeb Bush!...like $126 million...and he reportedly spent most of it on his campaign...what?...reminder, he was the first bloke knocked out...OUT!...how did he spend it so fast?...more details we do not need to know...hey, he got more than the next one in line, Hillary...by $30 million...guess who the RNC really wanted?...money talks... I dunno...I was speculating...th...

Is it not impossible to be aghast at the things that come out of Mister Trump's mouth?...I mean...I am trying to stay on the fence on this election...but I am leaning, er TEETERING a bit left ...how can you not?...there is a song that Blake Shelton sings..."the more I drank, the more I drank" ...OK, it does have the slight twang to it...but. DT could sing..."the more I talk, the more I talk", and it ain't good ...perhaps, the smartest move that Hillary could do, is not say anything ...just stay out of the way of the Donald...as he is probably destroying himself, all by himself...you KNOW I don't want to go there...as I so dearly want to wait for the debates... BREAKING...maybe...a lot of commotion about a drop out of the race by Trump...could be a lot of hot air...but...the Republicans are FURIOUS at him...stay tuned... OK, I am not giving you specifics ...I don't have to...just open up any of the sites on your web net...or, if you have a ...

I'm not sure which one of us is Andy and which is Barney ...but...well, I think I know...the foundation, however, is one of the very best comedic 1/2 hours in the history of TV...you remember it as the "Andy Griffith Show" ...well, ask your dad about it...or the elder members of your golf group...geez, there I go again... The review of the Boz ...I give it a B+ ...only because he didn't have my fav in his songfest for the nite...you know it, "Rainy Nite in Georgia" ...but...we got there just in time to sit on the wall...the closest to the stage...believe me kids, being that close to the stage and the singers, is way, way cool... you dirty, dirty...Lowdown.. . The Prospects took advantage of the depleted Brewers, here in the GQ...Milwaukee is fresh off from losing their star C Lucroy... in a day of massive amounts of trades ...where of all people, Trader AJ was silent...back to the game... SD won...convincingly ...and keep their precarious lead over...

Top of the morning, to ya"ll...a new week is upon us...and your, er, my, San Diego Prospects are in the final day of the wheelin' and dealin'...yup, August 1st...what?...a new month to boot?...egads, that means the bloody bills, too...OK, that's it...I'm going back to bed... A looooong day at the golf course in Joisy ...and the American won...what?...raise the red, white, and blue flag...jump up and down if you feel like it is about time... USA! USA! USA! ...OK, calm down...in the major and highly coveted PGA T... Jimmy Walker held off Jason Day...who is an Aussie, who now lives in Ohio....ha ha...most of them golf pros find their way to some place where they don't have to pay such high taxes for their winnings...what?...we do have some states that fit perfectly...right?...I digress... The natural bump after the DNC for Hillary is here...she is leading by 7 points in the ABC Poll, released this am...and, I'm sure most of the polls, if not all of t...

Oh my, the FIRE SALE is still going on in San Diego ... the Padres ...and their fearless GM, AJ Preller ...you know him, as Trader AJ ...who has done a perfect 180*...and is in the midst of trading away all the blokes he brought in for HIS 1st season...really...OK, if you have been reading me for some time...this is ancient news...but still informative... The latest item is probably the most curious... the trade of RF Matty Kemp ...probably our most powerful hitter...who...suddenly...became expendable...er, tradable...in essence, Trader AJ dumped him and his contract...he bought him out...to the amount of $30 million +...to the Atlanta Braves for a dude who has been banned from baseball for most of this season...domestic abuse...oh my...what is going on?...where are we going? The Padres announced the addition of a country singer, Joe Nichols , to have a pre game concert on August 17, I think about then...oh my....Trader AJ got wind of it...thought otherwise...and you got it....
