Next Up

When the stars start to fade...it happens, kids...the legends are either getting whupped, or they are losing their once prodigious powers...in any sport...the line most often used, is 'NEXT UP'...meaning, there are others primed and ready to...take over...we are human beings...and that's what happens...time can be a mean creature...of fate...perhaps, reality...

Golf...it does NOT mean that the past stars...can not rise up and show OLD form...once in a while...but, the nerves are different...one might be smarter, but the muscle tone is totally changed from the 20 yr olds to the 45 years young dudes...and, dudettes...

The PGA T in SF...at times there were 7 or 8 guys TIED at the top in the final round...but, the youth persevered...a very hot and confident Cal Bear grad won...again...with clutch, grandiose shots...that separated him from the masses...23 yrs old...a major...this is no fluke, kids...he is a goodun'...could, well, may be the face of the near future in the game...Collin Morikawa...

Let's go...

The mighty Padres went ballistic on a once dominate pitcher...MadBum...now with the DBacks...hit him like...well, in the end, we had 6 home runs...a new record for the facility...Petco, for us...had it not been for an ugly usage of the bull pen, it would have been like 9-1...my conditional worry about new management...P Dinelson Lamet, had a no-no thru 6...11 k's...but the RP used, gave up 4 more...boo...as the Bums hit town, now...fingers crossed...

Your Portland Blazers are making a giant step at getting into the playoffs at the bubble...I think (?) it's down to them and the Memphis Grizzles...the winner, gets the LaLa Lake Show...

Why is it taking the Demos so long to name the VP?...there must be a magic number of days, that is needed...something...or, is it that they are being so careful in the vetting process?...ah, who came up with THAT word?...anyhoo, I say, get on with it...name Kamala and start bashing Orange...

From the 'can't make this stuff up' files...of Orange...he wants his BUST added to the rock monument, peering over the Sioux Nation...oh my...I say, put it on the Mexican side of the border, on his wall...see how long that statue stands...ha ha...furthermore, every day spray paint it Orange...yes...

Snooki's song of the day...'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' by the Tokens...have you seen the history of this tune?...terrific piece of journalism...and it does in fact, come from Africa...find it and watch it...fascinating...and a great song...used so well in Friends, too...

Well, thanks for reading moi...hope your week is special...and, of course, stay safe...
