CRAZY HORSE

Much to my chagrin...the Bums, now the Dodgers, beat my team...deservedly so...man, shutting us out for 2 2/3rds games....well, if that isn't a beat down....on they go...to face the NY Mets...I stand with the west coast team...GO DODGERS... Now, my other hope...the Ducks hosting the Buckeyes...today a 4:30 kickoff...another underdog...please, oh please, UO....don't get shut out...can't go thru that again....ha ha...yes, I think that the Ducks have yet to play their best....perhaps, this is the day...this OSU coach has a knack of blowing big games... Kind of funny...we dressed in our Padre gear, for our din din across the HWY....def in LA Bum territory...and we made the management turn the game on....weird...and get this....there was 2/3rds capacity filled at the bar-b-q joint...and not ONE LA cap or jersey on...we were the only ones that seemed to care...but, back at the RV park, the fans were tooting their bloody horns for the Bums...must be MAGAS, too... I laughed at the ...

The lead...the Friars at the Bums...game 5....winner take all...move on to play the Mets...the loser?...golfing in the morning...the line clearly has LA the favorite...I figure that is probably right....home game...with them big bats...hey, it's what they play for...to win...am hoping for the best... We are on our Cosmo trip...ran into a gal from Salem...no kidding...small world...knew many of the same folks we do...at our fav bar stop in this town...Shimzy's...just a hop and step...well, a run across Hwy 1... I read about your guy trump....doing Bozo things...addressing his revival in Detroit, Michigan...and get this...he insults the city...while there!...the narrative is that he does this in primarily black cities...naw, he isn't racial...he is about to enter the desert...like Palm Desert...hmmm...wonder what keen words of wisdom he will lay on those people... Game Day in Eugene?...cool...man, I bet this will be a doozy...figure the game will be too...tomorrow...4:30 pm k...

The delight of catching a game with your son...makes no difference of the outcome of the game...just to be there was so cool...rad...awesome...the bomb...far out....well, far out was the play of the home team Friars...had a game to lose, and that's what happened...the fans?...raucous...the team?...flat...and the deservedly winning team?...the Bums, well not last nite, they were the Dodgers...won the game with terrific pitching, defense, and booming bats...all that the Padres did NOT HAVE!...so, back to LA for the decider on Friday...let's hope the real Friars show up for that one... Over on the other coast...the hurricane that hit Florida...turns out it was massive, but not the turn of the century one that some were predicting...just now looking at the destruction left behind...that state is so vulnerable for that storm surge....and it will only get worse, I fear...warm waters.... I keep wondering the why's...very little coverage of the Ohio St at Oregon matchup for Saturda...

As you might imagine, there is a feeling of...euphoric bliss...in the Gaslamp Quarter...here in SoCal...ah, well, south SoCal...San Diego...as the game 3 of 5 set...the Friars rode a humongous 6 run 2nd inning...to a WIN...against the hated Bums of LA....yup, them fat cats of MLB...sporting some of the best bats in the game...oh so hot, Jr...Tatis...led the way again...outstanding was the relief corps...and well, here we go...one game to get... Our son, is arriving today....and we jaunt over to Petco Park, for game 4...terrific seats...and will wear our best Padre gear...yes, maybe, just maybe...we can get the W....and move on...to the winner of the Mets/Phillies series...for the National League crown...let's not get ahead of ourselves....we have to win one more... That's the positive...here is the negative... The storm surging towards Florida in the Gulf....of Mexico...cat 4 or 5, depending on the timeline...it appears to hit land, this evening...central coast of that state......

Ah, the beauty of sport...where we can, as fans, enjoy intense rivalry games...none better than the Friars and Bums...both of these squads want to win...especially against one another...bad blood?...maybe...in beisbol, there is that chance of a 100 mph fast ball, coming at you...which usually triggers the avalanche of emotion to erupt...let this be known, ON THE FIELD...not in the stands... Used to be...there you go Horse, talking ancient times...people showed up at these games, dressed in suits and derby type hats...well, that was a ton of years ago...then, it progressed to casual wear...and just a few of the garb that said YOUR team's name...but, they did have the home team's caps...NOW, fans come in full regalia...many, very similar to that their team wears...ON THE FIELD!... Alas, game 3 is now in our town...our city...San Diego...probably the most crucial game to date this season...duh...my son and I have tix for Wednesday's 4th...wouldn't it be nice...if we could ...

If I told you that Vandy would beat the #1 ranked, Alabama...you would have thought I was CRAZY!...well, I didn't...no way, Jose...BUT, they did!...amazing, thorough beat down of the Tide...the only rolling was the roll over of the Tide...shocking, if you were just scrolling thru the scores...however, I was watching it...and it was highly deserved...think there isn't more and more of this?...with the bloody lack of screening of transfers...anyone can go anywhere...parity is upon us... Tennessee went down too...the Dawgs beat Michigan...Texas A&M snacked Mizzou...Minneeesota beat the Trojans...BUT, Miami U came from 25 down and escaped from the Bear's caldron...39-38...that was way too late for the Horse to gander at...so, the Top 10 should be mighty interesting...especially with Ohio St visiting Eugene this next weekend...think that the Ducks and their fans, won't be going CRAZY?... The party at the home, turned sour...as the bats of the Bums proved too much for the...
