Morning, ya"ll...stay out of the FESCUE! ...that is the simple solution to winning the US Open in Wisconsin ...it's not so much the extreme length of the course...it's the stuff, that an errant drive will eat up...literally...hold your tongue, matey... Rory boasted about the fairness of the track...then, promptly went out and shot a 78...hit two in the high grass on 17 and now is lost in the abyss...just a mere 13 strokes back...of Rickie who had a marvelous 65...hmmm...more of it today...as the land hardens up...as the scores will rise even more...sorry, Rory , but holdeth your tongue... The calmness of the sport world...as basketball, hockey, and football are all in hiatus...that leaves us the golf and beisbol.... lazy viewing thingers ...I'm OK with this...hey, now that the MLB draft is about over...like 60 rounds or something...time to see who the Pads can actually sign... what do you offer a high school kid?... The power of the lobbyists ...not one word a...

Gun Control

Image
Morning, kids...I have been saying this a bit, er, a lot...that it would take shooting of Congressional Members , before there is any movement towards gun control ...well now...you have it...with the Majority Whip getting hit...isn't it finally time to start the ball rolling?... how many mass shootings does it take to make the Congress ACT on this? ...it's time to START!...no more lobbyists filling your pockets...do the right thing...but...no!...the reaction is more of this... the Congressionals are gonna start packing ....have their own handguns on them...there you go...we have reverted to the wild, wild, west... The Padres swept the Redlegs...oh, that will put the Cincy Mgr on the hotseat...BTW, SD drafted the first 5 rounds of high schoolers , not six, as I so erroneously reported...it's a crap shoot, anyway...hey, I watched the national broadcast of your beloved Yankees...in Anaheim... this Judge kid is tearing the league up...but, c'mon...the amount of play ti...

The 'I-5' Open

Image
Unbelievable! ...the longest course ever...for the US Open ...PGA shenanigans...at Erin Hills...in Wisconsin ...almost 8,000 yards of golf ...imagine...double dawg rumors, is that the distance between greens and tee boxes is enormous...heard this on the show, PTI...and both those dudes played the track...oh well, it's not me...and I'll watch it...I am thinking DJ, Rickie, and Rory as the front runners , cuz of their length... The Pads ...their first 6 drafts are all high school kids ...really?...there goes the value of staying in school and playing ball in college...maybe...anyway, the present team beat the Redlegs again ...hip hip...if we could play 'em 162 times, well... Tragedy out of DC ...another shooter...this time at Congressional members...among those shot, was Rep Steve Salise...all Repubs practicing baseball ...the assailant asked if the players were Dems or Repubs prior to the attack...allegedly...where is it safe?... The celebration of the Warriors is i...

Champs

Golden St won the crown ...just after the most embarrassing of losses a few days earlier...wait a minute, kids... they only lost one game in two months ...think about that...a solid team, put together awfully well...and there you go...beat the best player in the game...overall player...in LeBron James... Kudos to Kev Durant for his super season...but...the other parts did real well... Steph with his crazy shooting... Thompson with terrific D, and, at times, his shooting... Dray Green for his overall game...and the unsung key to it all, Andre Iguodala ...off the bench and does EVERYTHING ...like guard James... Don't really care about the hoopla after ...however, the pixels dig it...the KD Mama, the Curry kids...all cute...but, the game was over...finally...I still think that the post game interviews should be of the coaches and not the players ...just me... The Padres... Drafted 3rd ...and picked a high school lefty pitcher...hmmm...let's see, that means it will t...

Crazy For Sure

Let me start with this...I am a rookie viewer of hockey...got wrapped up in the Nashville Predators run at the title...the emotion that city gave their team, and quite frankly, themselves was exemplary...many peops just like me got caught up in it...especially from that exploding area...something like 1,000 people a week relocate there... The game ...number 6...was intense from the get go...super exciting and the crowd was into it...the defenses were solid...both sides...went scoreless forever...and... then the Preds scored!...wait...not...as the ref had screwed up and blew the play dead too soon ...'he thought that the Pitt goalie had the puck'...obviously, he couldn't see it...as the puck went thru the net... changed the game completely ... Pitt went on to score in the final couple of minutes of the game...got one more as the goalie was pulled to give the Preds a last gasp chance at tying...and there you go... the Pitt Penguins repeat ...a terrific effort by Nashv...

Backs To The Wall

Image
I s'pose I could say this about both the Stanley Cup AND the NBA ...but the Preds and the Cavs have their BACKS TO THE WALL! ...geez, whatever that means...the are in must win situations, or they are off on vacay...turn on the hockey tonight...it's in Nashville...and that town is bonkers over the Predators....which I have been telling you for a couple of weeks... Silly sidelight...I guess... what celeb is gonna sing the National Anthem ...it's been a whose who thus far...rumors are that it may be Faith Hill and Tim McGraw ...or, newly moved into town, JT, er Justin Timberlake ...give the game a chance, it's better than you think.... The Cavaliers ...down 3-1 and play in Alameda tomorrow...they had a super game in the last...hmmm... got a thinking that the series will be finished off. ..you are not going to see Steph shoot that poorly two games in a row...however, the Cavs have an equal cast...so...they have to be big time physical...hmmm... I am hedging ...do...
