Wake Up!

Image
Hey, you are losing valuable daylight hours!... get up and get going ...well, not until you read what the Horse has to tell ya...you made it... it is Saturday. ..a cup of Joe...maybe some wassies or pancakes...or, for some of you, yogurt...eggs?...egg whites?...fake eggs?...cereal?...wait, do people eat cereal anymore?...oatmeal?...fake oatmeal?... well, get what YOU want, it's YOUR day... The Padres won!. ..let me state that again for you non-believers...the Padres won!...home opener...and the locals did not disappoint...key hits by Solarte and there you go ...BTW, the closer Maurer, will be fine...in a skimpy set of pitchers...sorry, but true...it's a long season, kids... The aftermath of the tomahawk strikes in Syria ...apparently, the Assad people knew it was coming...and many were saying that this was more show than reality...BS!...you get them bombs hitting you, it is NOT a show...the am report has more attacks hitting the region today...are you OK with this?...Pre...

Da Weekend

Normally, I'd think that it is groovy that today is Friday ...and time for the weekend to begin...all smiles... I recall the euphoric grin for the idea that we get to sleep in the next day...maybe get some golf in...take a mini vacay ...whatever...but... This morning was filled with fears ...as Prez T unleashed at least 50 tomahawk missiles at Syria ...in response to the Assad's Regime of terror...one may call it a 'warning signal' ...as I have told you recently, the area is scattered with oil hungry countries....especially Russia...who somehow has warmed up to Assad...how they could, is beyond my comprehension... This chemical form of genocide has been going on for at least 7 years in Syria...as the World has turned  its collective heads...apparently, not this Prez...who will NOT allow this ...how do you feel about it?...the right way to confront?...this is just beginning... how long will this leader live on?...his days just have to be numbered...I think he...

Round One

Image
This is the time for truth... Round 1 of the Masters ...and like I was a fearing... the weather may be the significant factor of the day...expecting high winds...the early tee time blokes, are floundering about...expect more of the same for everyone...too bad...and away we go... Unbelievable news about the number one golfer in the World... Dustin Johnson ... who fell down the stairs in his 'rental' home there ...banged up his back...and now is in jeopardy to even play in the T...imagine the $ being adjusted in the pools throughout the land, that bet on this... The Pads lost game 3 in LaLa Land...OK, let's be real here...we are not very good...it's a loooong season...and it will be lllllloooonnnnnggggeeerrrrr ....ha ha...if we can split series, that would be a good thing...today, we have the supposed top pitcher we picked up in the off season going...Jered Weaver...fingers crossed... I am one of the peops in the webnet that doesn't think much of the KFam ......

The Masters

Image
Morning, kids...if you are a golf junkie, this is your week...as the best of the sport for the guys, is staged in Augusta, Georgia...the site of the Masters ...never been there...but, from all that have, it is said to be absolutely gorgeous...and, the players consider it to be the plum for their bucket list...THIS is the one that they dream of winning... So... who is it going to be this year?. ..can a 46 yr old Lefty find enough fairways to win it again?...DJ has won most everything else, how about this one?...maybe Rory?...the list goes on...Spieth?...will that area dodge the crazy weather of the south and east?...Q's to be answered... the Horse thinks that it may be Rory or DJ ...but, I know nuttin...just like to watch the event from afar... And THIS is why you want to win...the honor to host the 'Champion's Dinner' , with all of the past champions in attendance...with their very own green jackets on...way cool...what a marvelous collection of golfers...see i...

Bloody Shame

Morning, ya"ll... it's a golf day ...so this is going to be another of them quickees...my topic is singular... the National Champ Game ...it was a BLOODY SHAME! ... Not in who won it... the North Carolina Tar Heels. ..but, the game itself...was a travesty ...in the way it was officiated ... beyond comprehension was the number of fouls called ...which stopped any ebb and flow to the game...absolutely ruined it...especially in the 2nd half... time and again, the whistle was the highlight of what was going on... And...what players were going to be left on the floor to determine the victors...the play itself never really came forth...and... a turned ankle in the last minute and 10 seconds turned out to be the diff ... the Zags best scorer did so...tried to go on...and took the key shots in their last two possessions, which came up short and thus...empty...sad... Yes, kids...I had no dog in the race... my thoughts were purely by observance, and not from a greedy heart ......

Hey, kids, we are BACK! ...had a terrific time with our buds, the Gahrs ...all that was to be expected...and more...ha ha, what is more?...however...the end to the trip, was the LPGA event at Mission Hills. ..kind of sounds like a cemetery , doesn't it?...well, for sure, they should bury a rule that the PGA and LPGA use ...where a bloke can call into the governing bodies, and tell them about a rule infraction that the viewer saw on his home TV...and then THEY assess a penalty the next day...following me?... The leader in the T was Lexi Thompson ...she marked a 1 ft putt awkwardly ...like on the side of the ball...appears to be done, to stay out of the line of her playing companion...I dunno...let me repeat this...in the 3rd round...then she put her ball down directly behind the marker...maybe a 1/4 inch diff at most...voila!... 2 stroke penalty ...but here's the Horse's beef... They then also... ALSO! ...assessed her another 2 stroke penalty for signing her score...
