Almost Over

Image
How about that for a sarcastic Saturday! ...MLB is nearing their highly publicized 'wild card' games...almost disregarding those teams that have won their divisions, outright...and get this, the 'wild card' games are just one!...imagine, in all of beisbol, the series goes at least 3...but, they change up and make this a one and done...stupid...what is this, high school?...where they indeed only play one game, and not a series...OK, should be a best of 3...get with it, MLB...and no, the listless Padres did not make it...horrific collapse...expect pink slips everywhere, but where it should go, the GM AJ Preller...yes, I am redundant on this... Some dang good matchups in college football today ...Oregon (giving 8) at Stanford...the Dawgs at OSU...Arkansas at Georgia...Michigan at Wisconsin...Cincy (favored?) at Notre Dame...Ol Miss at 'Bama...this will be a big weekend for movement in the Top 4...we shall see...well, might be... 700,000 deaths ...in the USA cuz of Covi...

The GOOD Month

I stare at my title for this Friday, and wonder why on earth I said that ...cuz, I gots to pay my bills some time today. ..that's after going to work this am (golf)... getting a flu shot and a shingles one (no. 2) ...this afternoon...and find some time to rest up ... eat and drink something ...interesting, as 'they' say to drink 16 ounces of water prior to getting the vaccinations... will beer suffice? ... Rainier , of course ... The word on the street, er on the web net...is that there is a Covid 19 pill in the works ...rather than get inoculated, the swallow of the pill...wonder how many non-vaxxers will go for this?... Our new iPhone 13 pro max phones are now here and in use...thinking that normal people would have them up and running in less than 30 minutes, it took us two hours ...and the sync to my iwatch took an hour, to add to that...just for your info, if that's what you are gonna do...everything appears to be transferred, thanks to the 'cloud' wha...

Horse's Top 10

Image
I think you are all in the need of a vagabond top ten list of something ...we seem to be obsessed with numeration of the best and worst of...anything... Letterman made a name for himself doing the gig ...which I always looked forward to...especially, when he had people reading off the stuff...ah, do any of us consistently watch the late night shows anymore?... Letterman, Leno, Carson, were the ones we would stay up for ...now?...anyway, I digress...it's time for the Horse's Top Ten crapola for the day ...it's just one man's opinion, and you may differ...that's OK...I mean, you may have voted for donny, and I'll never understand that... 10 .   Britney Spears no longer has a conservator watching over her every moves...so, is the judgment of a judge...how old is she?...c'mon...but after trump, naming so many new judges throughout the land, I am not too trusting of the system anymore...are you?...what happened to the vote of the public to get these people into ...

False Hope

Image
After 50 games in the MLB season, the mighty Padres had the BEST RECORD in all of beisbol...then it all fell apart...why?...first of all, kids, it's a game...a bunch of them...to be successful at it, you must have quality pitching...in the next time frame, the league mandated a new rule...that the pitchers must be checked for foreign substances, that they may use to alter the baseball...if you listened to the National broadcast of last eve's Bums/Padres game...they inferred that Yu Darvish went from one of the best starters, to one of the worst...cuz of that 'new' rule...a number of pitchers from the Friar's staff went down with injuries...and to make matters more bizarre, the club fired one of the best in the biz...the pitching coach, Larry Rothschild...murmurs throughout the league were started... 2ndly...the clubhouse turned...gone was the fun, and antics that were quite evident...the blame had gone everywhere....of course, the normal next thing 'the closed d...

Horse Chatter

'Gonna tell you a story about a man named Jed, Californy is the place to be....set a spell, take your shoes off' ...well, I shortened that quite a bit...you could replace Jed with the Horse ...just doesn't sound very good...and Beverly Hills, naw... but, San Diego, yes...sure the shoes are off, and the flip flops are on ... no, did not find the bubbling crude ... You know, we never missed 'The Beverly Hills Show'...whatever it was called... 'the Beverly Hillbillies' ...I think that was right... my mother just loved granny ....made her laugh so...great memory...'there goes that sound again, Jed...someone is always at the door when it goes off'....and her wave at the end of each episode...funny... DWTS...Dancing With the Stars ...oh my...I do like the premise...but, absolutely despise the new hostess...loved Tom Bergeron... Tyra Banks ...gosh...what was the getup she was wearing last eve?...looked like a red pumpkin dress, with only her head sticking ...

Dominance

Image
The Ryder Cup was just pure dominance by the Americans...record shattering score of 19-9!...the young stars of the USA came through...and beat the highly decorated crew of Europe...so healthy in their experience, that I thought that they were the favorites in this match...I think I was the only one who thought that...yes, I was so wrong...it was a great 3 day of viewing for moi...as I just lurve these frays... DJ led the way, not only competing in all 5 sessions, but winning in all of them....the first time that has happened for a USA guy in like 40 years...and, it was very telling how good Jon Rahm is...it still is kind of weird, as most of all of the Euros now live in the country...ah, ours...tax breaks, I reckon... Closure ...over the weekend the mighty Padres were officially eliminated for the wild card slot...listen, it was over when we lost getting Scherzer and Turner from the Nats, and the Bums did...fire Preller and let's get going in the right direction... Dang it all, t...

The Hills are Alive

With the sound of...thunder and lightning ...as we return from our mini-vacay from Ponte Wine Resort ...just a terrific stay at their venue...the rooms are awesome...the pool and hot tub, perfect...and the restaurants and wine...sublime...just an hour away, but seemingly nestled in another part of the world...well, Cali...if you haven't yet, get on over and give it a try...do join the wine club, as everything is discounted...the rooms, the beverages, and the restaurant stuff...needless to say, our getaway....as we celebrated our 47th... I did not post while there...gave that a vacay, too ...a little concern that my reading numbers have been low...is this the time to retire the gig?...not sure...I lurve doing it, but perhaps, I am getting too mellow...or repetitive...give me a holler so I know what I should do... Spent much time, well, as much as I could watching the Ryder Cup ...man, I do enjoy the competition...the USA team is far exceeding what I thought...way cool....today, is t...
