The Padres game has some luster, I suppose...throw out last night's
debacle, and the team has been on the upswing...and for added incentive, it is Hawaiian Pad Shirt giveaway nite...who can resist that?...we are sitting in the Omni Club seats...so, if lucky, get the seats up by the food...if not, we are down with the commoners...dependent on luck and timing...pictured here are our TV voices of the Padres...Don Orsillo (wearing the Hawaiian shirt) and Mark (Mudcat) Grant...
Had a fun night out...'date nite'...started at our fav new watering hole, in Little Italy...Nolita Hall...terrific vibes, with the cool thing of their viewing board, changing with every airplane that passes just overhead...and we stumbled on a 'new to us' restaurant...Mona Lisa...where we had our norms, spaghetti and meat balls...and lasagna...both sensational...couple that with a liter of the chianti, that was but $14!...it is our new, go to place...for Italian...listen, it is not fancy, but the food, my gawd, the food...
The NBA made their ruling on the two Cavs in jeopardy...actually, the league reviewed the last 2 minutes of the regulation game...and as I figured, had no real penalties awarded...awarded?...levied, is better...they even commented that the refs blew two possible calls, that weren't called...both on the Warrior's Green...the one that got me, was that on the missed FT by the Cavs, with 5 secs to go...Green stepped into the lane too soon...give me a break...the pros do that ALL the time, with it rarely called...
The 2 Cavs in jeopardy...Kev Love came onto the floor during the skirmish at the end of the game...no harm, no foul...get rid of the rule, then...and Tristan Thompson (Khloe's boy), fined $25 grand and no suspension for his aggressive crap...hey, this just opens the door for more stuff...if the league does nothing...figure there will be more of it...which is probably WHAT they want...you know, like fights in hockey...yes, the Horse predicted that outcome...
Feeding a dog is similar (don't go ballistic on this) to feeding a baby...they are totally dependent on the owners, er, parents...so, if you got one...DON'T be negligent...well, to either one...what?...fresh water...c'mon...I must be talking dogs now...I'm old and confused...
My good buddy from the PNW, gave me a ring a ding yesterday and suggested I write about a possible NEW HBO show, that would feature the two ladies in question...lately...have Roseanne and Samantha Bee cohost a point/counterpoint shindig...egads, really?...Snooki...and he also did the update on the Willamette Valley water purity crisis...and there is...no time slot given, for safety to drink...what a mess...
Ya wanna talk some football?...OK, then...there is some banter about the new QB's that were drafted this past season...most of the blokes are working with the 3rd string of the new teams...the 2 that have been getting the best reviews?...USC dude at the Jets, and the UCLA bloke at the Cardinals...and...Johnny Football is back...well, in Canada...in the CFL...did OK in his first pre-season game...and then popped off...ha ha...good luck, Canada, all yours now...
Here at the home, they are having a photog contest...if you are a winner...well, if I am...they blow the photo up and display it with the other winners...last year, I got passed over...very upset about the decision...so, today, I am going to go about and light up me camera...find me a photo or two to enter...it has to be epitomizing the area here in the GQ....hmmm, figure a pix of the countless homeless, would not be a winner...c'mon sunshine, I need you...
One of the latest ploys of the sports channels...is to video the players as they arrive at the arenas where they are to play....almost like a red carpet for the pretty people at them damn award shows...well, anyhoo...this is what the King wore to the last game in Alameda...at a cost of $46,000!...is that a Gavinchy?...you know, they need Ryan Secrest there with a microphone, asking them important q's...'LeBron, what we you wearing?'...Back in the day...IF Tiger Woods was playing at the Memorial...you know, Jack's (Nicklaus) Place...IT was Tiger and everyone else...well, he IS playing...and IS in contention...and IF his putter gets hot, HE just may WIN this T, again...I'll be watching IT today...
Have a great Saturday...
