Emailgate

Image
Morning, ya"ll...so what is happening with the emails?...yea, the stuff that has the Demos a scrambling...is the FBI reopening their case?...admitting errors in judgment?...are the Weiner files too deep for the security of Ms Clinton?...geez, I dunno...the polarized parties each have their own view on this...I call it "Emailgate" ...and am totally confused as to what is going on...this after reading my 11 sources...things are getting hectic just prior to the ballot voting...unless, you are like us, who have already done the shading in... 1-0 ...oh my...with all the hype on this game no. 3....a winning RBI by the senior citizen, Coco Crisp ...now wait a minute buster...he's just older than most still playing in beisbol....he WAS the difference maker...as the "Indians" move into control in the Series... OK, Cubbies , you are officially in a must win position today...gulp...against the hottest pitcher in the game ...keep the faith... It was the fam ...

Robust!

This is the term that has been given to those (like us) who have voted early ... ROBUST! ...in this election season...which is a very good thing...and what I have feared the most is... apathy ...maybe this is a sign that there isn't...however, like the good Horse (redundant) has said all along... this will be a much tighter race than you think ...the latest...poll...this out of the Washington Post...has Hillary up by 4 points on Donald ...tightening up... Our not so secret following is the Tennessee Titans ...with Marcus Mariota in his 2nd season at the helm...reminder, that the Snooki is coming down here in a short time for the TT/Bolts game...anyway...they destroyed the Jax Jaguars last eve ...as Mariota didn't even play the 4th Q...up 36-6...so many people were calling it a boring game...not me, as I lurved watching the product keep getting better and better... Just try and get a ticket to today's Cubbie / "Indians" game...in Chi-town...fuggit about ...

Catalina Cubs

Mass adoration for a team that hasn't won in over a hundred years ...what?... a century ...what?...the adorable, lovable losers... da Cubbies ...people coming out everywhere...proudly wearing their Cub gear...I remember when Cris and I went to spring training in the desert... Cactus League ...and by no means at all, the greatest amount of fans in the area...were them dudes from Chicago ...or, those wearing the stuff... Did you know?...they used to do their spring training on the tiny little island off the coast of LA?... Catalina ...what?...here's your history lesson for the day...this dude William Wrigley, Jr ...yup, that one...he who made a spearmint on the chewing gum for the USA and, frankly, everywhere ...was part owner of da Cubbies, purchased in gulp...1916!...he then took over majority ownership shortly thereafter... Wrigley had a pad in Pasadena ...you know, where they have the infamous "Rose Parade" ...duh...found this beat up and dilapidated island c...

Ohio

Man, we have come a long way from the song by CSNY, "Ohio" ...the celebrations of sport no bigger or better than that city CLEVELAND ...as the Cavs were getting their "World Champ" rings and starting up the new NBA season...and right across the cement was the opener of the "World Series" featuring their "Indians" ... Both teams did not disappoint ..as the hoopsters destroyed the NY Knickerbockers...they seem deeper to me...and a lock in the east...well now, there are 81 games to go...plenty of time to readjust my thinking...and the beisbol boys whupped the overwhelming favs of the nation, Da Cubbies... pitching wins ...and Kluber is as good as it gets...one game at a time, Chicago...relax...however, I did hate the pace of the game ...crawled along... And...this is a huge, make that HUGE state for the Prez election ...one might say pivotal ...oh yea...will the rate jump on Obamacare have an affect on the race?...it probably will...and ...

Bohunk Rehired!

Image
In the most controversial move of the FF season, GM AJ Sellers , rehired former head coach Bradley Bohunk ...the bloke who got the axe for the winless season (thus far)... nowhere in the history of the league has such precedence occurred ...and for that matter, ever for a franchise owned by the Horse...citing a number of reasons for the rehire... the story goes like this...these are AJ's words ... "I was on the way down to 5th to drown my sorrows after yet another loss...and oh my, to the horrible Native Americans, to boot...which made my journey even more needed...as I walked by the Children's Park...where no child has ever ever been...just across from the Children's Museum....where they DO go...I noticed a dude hunkered underneath a tree...like sleeping...not uncommon for that park, BTW...normally, I put on me blinders and walk on... But this guy looked familiar...he was...Bradley Bohunk!...I walked over and rousted the dude up...and asked him what on earth he w...

Downtown

DOWNTOWN" Where might that be for you?...every city has one...some are more famous than others...it's the hub where people congregate...lots of shops, bars, restaurants, lights, viewing spots...and on and on...it's THE PLACE to go...in fact, some have more than one... like in NYC, they have an uptown, too...here in San Diego, it's 5th Avenue...Nashville has Lowbroad...LA has Hollywood and Vine...Santa Barbara...

Seven Decades

Morning ya'"ll... the feel good story has happened... seven decades + since Da Cubbies have advanced to the World Series...and by beating the Bums...they are in!...include with that, the "Indians" haven't been there for 19 years...so... we are going to have a maiden victory ...kind of...for one of these clubs...hey hey, I'm using Horse terms... The last out of the game ...were 2 Cubans facing off... Da Cubs Chapman ( thanks NY Yanks!) and the Bums Puig ...each have harrowing tales of defecting from that Communist Isl of Cuba...which includes $ laundering via Mexico...and more...things have changed there now...apparently... I mean, bring on them cigars... Some real dandies in the collegiates... Penn St upset Ohio St on some incredible special team plays...that school has gone thru some extreme rough times...and it was way cool to see the celebration thereafter... the Dawgs continued their streak in beating the Beavs ...but...OSU is getting better ...
