Fernando Tatis, Jr

Image
Must lead with this... the star SS of the mighty Padres ... Fernando Tatis, Jr ...who I just refer to as Junior, ah, Jr...in my column... had an EPIC NITE ...he hit 3 home runs in ONE GAME! ...as the Friars won their 8th straight ...coupling with that, the fact that the DBacks lost their 24th consecutive road game ...he had 2 more shots at a 4th...singled and made an out...lost in the amazing feat, was Croney getting his 4th straight home run game ...we on fire?...you could say that... 159 yet unaccounted for ...tragic and beyond belief... the Condo Collapse in Miami...now termed a 'pancake collapse' ...they have words or terms for everything...as we have been watching and wondering...the lil woman wrote to our building head, asking for clarification on the stability of our condo... Ah, she was on a bike ride yesterday...her, she, the lil wurman...does she not resemble a...well you judge for yourself...I call her, Marsha Ray Cyrus ... Apparently, the Portland Blazers have fo...

Collapse?

Image
The tragic COLLAPSE of a mid rise condo in Miami ...so many questions, and fewer answers...at this time, the report is that there are 4 dead and 159 unaccounted for ...12 stories, that just gave way...do buildings do this?...like, we live in a 35 story condo...hmmm... There are speculations...that the building had been sinking for years ...gradually...yes, we are in a Global Warming period of time...might this have been the undoing of the structure?...nobody has even come close to calling it sabotage...apparently, no signs of this...so, it has to be the gradual deterioration of land...right?... We have had an immense amount of death and dying in the past couple of years ... for reasons that seemingly are out of our control.... from the Covid Virus, to the assault rifle used shootings, to the absurd wars of people, and now to this sort of thing ...perhaps, the earth giving way...listen, to all people, we must be better... Let's go... Rudy Guliani, the former minister of madness, h...

Thursday Takeaways

While most of the country is basking in near record setting heat...very south SoCal is not ...in fact, we were trying to play golf in the rain ...it is true...not a lot of it, mind you...but still...and all around us in Singing Hills, the clouds were hammering out their own sounds...very loud BOOMS! ... thunder surrounding us, but not on us ...had to be a bit away, as I did not see any lightning...as many of you know, the Horse is terrified of that...somehow, we escaped it...however, throughout the valley, they did not... My buddy, Snooki ...remember him?... he used to furnish fun filled, philophobia funked up non-love songs for us...right? ...well, he passed on the temp upcoming for his neighborhood in Salem, Orygun... gonna be above 100* and he is worried about the heat, my gawd the heat ....I told him to go to the coast...he responded like 'who won't be?' ...of course, I could not leave it there... 'buy yourself a kiddie pool' .... The mighty Padres swept the B...

6 Straight

Image
This game of beisbol, is sure one of streaks ...as we have now entered the good side of it...with some bodacious home cooking... the mighty Padres have got number 2 from the bloody Bums...taking down the Friar buster, Kershaw. ..got 2 dingers, one from Croney (again) and the eventual winner from PH, Kim ...held on for dear life, and we won, 3-2...finally got a good outing from the underachieving Snell ...and there you go... that makes 6 straight wins ... Unbelievable finish to the NBA West game last eve ... as the Suns pulled off a high lob smash, with 0.8 seconds on the clock to beat the Clip Joint...this in Phoenix...in other words, they held up the home court advantage...some choking going on by LA's P George...that many say he does in critical times...well, it's more than that...as they looked lost defensively...a mantra for MOST NBA teams... Congress...more than that...the Senate ...some votes need more than a simple majority...not sure why...but, looking deeper...the...

Sleeping Together?

Image
Already peeked your interest...or, is that peaked? ...one of them...a report, ah, THE REPORT out of USA Today . that says this tiny little Tuesday Tidbit...that one out of four couples do not SLEEP TOGETHER!...yes, 25% ...might this be age dominant?...the older the couple, the more chance of this occurring?...hmmm, it did not say MARRIED couples...was this gender biased?...gay couples, too?...we could go on...right?... The article went to the reasons...not only for the obvious, that SHE snores too loudly....and he can't sleep ...OK, maybe the opposite...but, the psychology of it all ...that it makes for a better relationship...ah, what?...my parents did not...sleep in the same bed...I never thought a single thing about it...kind of grossed me out that they might even have sex...I was one of 5...ha ha... I have friends that do this too...sleep apart ...25%?...I don't ask, but I bet it is higher than that ...I can't imagine not sleeping in the same bed...shoot, we have the d...

Late but still good...

Image
Sorry, kids... but I got up too late to post ...before my golf tee time...which was way early...so, here goes... late, but still good ...I hope... The mighty Padres swept the Redlegs ...which is wondrous, as we now host the Bloody Bums starting tonight...and, according to Vegas, we are favored...when was the day, that we were in the past?... There is a lot of interest in the Supreme Court's decision ... that MAY allow the athletes in college to make some dough ...to be completely candid, the places that they might make cash is in football and basketball...that pretty much fund the rest of the sporting world at the universities and colleges ...are we talking tee shirts, and signatures?...or, is it more involved, like getting paid to play?...listen, a lot of money is made...the ones that make the most?...the coaches...interesting...pay attention to this, as this will mushroom... Jon Rahm did win the US Open ...as the Horse predicted...pat on me back...it was tuff to see the pros f...

The Father's Day

Remembrances...of times past ... the 'here and now' is so important, kids ... we take it for granted...that 'they' will always be in their home...doing their thing ... answering your letters (well, that may be the only way they know), taking your phone calls (landline), or, if they are hip...reading your emails, your texts, and taking your cell phone calls...even, the 'live' video chats ...do this...if 'they' are still with us...make sure you contact 'them' ...however 'they' can get them...pictured above, is my father and our son, Cris ... I see on the web net, so many peops posting of their pappy from whenever. ..it is part of life, kids... get with the program and make contact...while you still can ...OK, my sermon is over...now, let's just enjoy the day...watching golf and beisbol...ha ha... The mighty(!) Padres are back at it... won their 3rd straight at home last eve ...exciting form...as Jr went down with an injury...replaced ...
