Shock and aw....

Image
Shucks ...a message was sent to the Syrian Assad Regime ...in the form of missiles... the US alone shot over 100 ...I have not heard the coalitions numbers...the UK and France...the warning is to quit using chemical weapons on your OWN people...hmmm, and now, what is the response of Russia?...phase 2... My fears ...why does it seem that when the personal life of the Prez goes astray , he appears to mask it with a greater national problem?...like war?...look back at Prez Clinton...he did the same when the Lewinsky issue was hot... coincidence? ... It is said that this is a 'one and done' attack...the targets were where our 'intelligence' had the chemical making sites pointed out...hmmm...I want to trust what our country is doing...I really do... so, let's just give this time to play out... Other... Fun times over at the old ball yard...as the Pads got a W over them pesky Giants...terrific pitching by the rejuvenated Tyson Ross...who actually got the firs...

A Higher Loyalty

Image
We are about to get hit with the firestorm that WE all expected...someone in the know, is about to release his observations of his time with POTUS ...and Prez T is not happy about it...to say the least...the book, out on the 17th of this month, is titled 'A Higher Loyalty' ... the author is the former FBI head, James Comey ... Comey is about to do the pixel circuit, to discuss what he has written...his first stop?... with ABC's George Stephanopoulus ...I think that is the spelling of his last name...and...there are those out there that have already been privy to a copy of the tell all...there are THUNDERBOLTS! ...how deep do you want to go?...will you read it?... Of course, the Horse will ...this past 2 years of politicking has been second to none in unbelievable (almost) decisions and voting patterns...who'd a thunk...we will get a look from the eyes of the FBI guy...what HE saw...the pattern that reminds me of a child's playground...is that of the respon...

Base Brawl (s)

Is it that time of the baseball season... ALREADY? ...where boys will be boys...get upset with another team...show their disgust...with an all out, 25 boy roster, + 5 or 8 coaches... meeting in the middle of the diamond ...and throw some punches!...a spike slide here, a hit by pitch there, a ball going behind the head...and BOOM! ...here they go again... Happened twice yesterday in the Bigs...first was the Yankees and the Red Sox ... 'the spikegate' started their bout...as the NY dude slid into 2nd and into the Bosox bloke's calf... cheap shot , for sure...benches emptied and no punches thrown...until...the NY dude who was the slider, came to the plate...and got pummeled in the back with a pitch...he charged the mound and there you go... brouhaha ... Then our own Padres ... got the hit by pitch twice ...one that actually took out our starting CF, Margot, for a 10 day DL in his ribs...and in the next game, our RF Renfroe, who hit the game winner, the night prior, ...

Confused?

The breaking news out of DC is that the House Speaker , Paul Ryan , is NOT going to seek re-election in November...what the heck?...'family'...as the chaos continues in the Repub side of things...OK, that may be a little potent...there have been hints of this for some time now...still, what is behind this?...he has often been mentioned as a candy man for the Prez...stay tuned, kids... I gots lots of time this am...as all of my golfing buddies canceled today, for a variety of reasons...so later on, I'll go out and practice...practice?...egads...well, I have BOZOS next week and I haven't played much... As I am writing I am listening to an album by a sanger from way back on me Beats... Barbara Mason ...you have any clue?...she had the smash, 'Yes I'm Ready' ...her stuff is awesome...it is the set that she had that song on it...priceless... Man, them Padres ...got another win in Colorado...and won the series...first time, with a nooner to go today....

Tidbits

Morning, ya'll...recouping after the 79* temp and the weekend with them Snookies ...we WILL survive...fun times and we move on...how was yours?...finally blinking from the Master's Cad win at Augusta?...seems like a jolly, young cuss, right?...the one thing about golf, it is all YOU ...nobody blocking your shot...nobody yelling at ya... Here we go with the items that stick out and are racking the Horse's brain... That personal lawyer of Prez T...oops, he has some of his records impounded... Michael Cohen ...the FBI did the raid...he was the one that said he paid Stormy the hush money, out of his own pocket...he also said that POTUS had nuttin' to do with that...rumor mill is that the Agents are looking for bank fraud...and campaign finance violations...egads, ya'll...Trump is disgusted...calls out the raid "attorney-privilege is dead"...gots to think that he may be squirming a bit... Here's my fear...whenever the President (in the past, too...

Masses Master Cad

Image
Hats off to the dude who led the Masters both Friday and Saturday...then out dueled the apparent lovable Rory McIlroy ...to the masses... Patrick Reed ...and withheld the charges of two of the brat pack, Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler ...he deserved the win, kids...listen, he was leaking oil ...but there was enough left in the tank to get 'er done... But...he is not the most affable character. ..that has a history of alienating himself...not only from adoring fans, but even his parents... he says what he thinks ...often to the chagrin of many, many others ...case in point?...his dig on Spieth in the latest Ryder Cup... 'his back was heavy' ...something on that level... Whatever...he has the Green Jacket ...hey, what about the red shirt he has worn in the past on Sunday...well now...talk about ticky tacky... he gets bucks for wearing Nike apparel ...and they told him (as well as other Nike golfers), no RED for you... that is reserved for their cash cow, Tiger ...so,...

A Match, Redux?

Image
Has this year's Masters turned into a match play finish?...as the two top blokes are the same duo that were paired in a monumental battle in the last Ryder Cup ...the Euro, Rory McIlroy , and the Amero, Patrick Reed ...the finger pointing...the terrific play...and yup, they are in the final grouping... lurking, are a gaggle of my picks...ie, Rahm, Stenson, Bubba, and Jordan ...iff, one of them sneaks by the two top ones...well, you never know... Sadly, the legends, Tiger and Lefty ...are back in the pack...way back...and the Q continues on... can Woods return to greatness?...maybe we don't care... Other... POOF! ...there goes the winning streak for the Pads ...in yet another 0-0 thriller in OT....lose it by misplaying a pop up by the pitcher's mound...egads, as we continue our destruction of the fundamentals of the game...yes, kid, this is a major league team...'big time baseball' as the pixel analyst continually reminds us, Mark Grant...keep repeating it...
