But thanks to Kansas City for Royally Dominating the bottom of all divisions.  I’m over this rebuilding decade Padres- Petco is a great park but nobody likes a loser.  Put your game faces on!

Welcome 2012- you know how I feel about resolutions.  They suck.  I just want to live more, travel more, indulge my inner foodie, and make the most of everything this year.  And if I can get my turbo paperweight street legal again, all the better!

And for my b’day, the Chargers finally came to play. Rivers was all smiles. Yeah dude, that’s what it feels like to win! Maybe you should try it more often. Guess I don’t have to burn this SD jersey after all. At least not yet…

Maybe Turner/Rivers have a different game plan in mind than the one their fans were hoping for.  Perhaps they’ve decided to throw the season in hopes the rumors around moving to LA will disappear with the Chargers playoff hopes…  San Diego has few professional teams- in fact, the Chargers moved to SD after the 1960 season in LA.  The Padres don’t typically excite SD fans in the playoffs and the two NBA teams to ever grace SD arenas (Rockets, then Clippers) haven’t been San Diego teams since the 80′s.  I want to puke just thinking about supporting an LA football team so if the move happens, my Chargers jersey will probably burn like a Christmas tree after the new year.

The Eagles are another team desperate for a win so the Pats better look to score quick and often- should be a good game to watch.

And last night’s Game 6 was probably the most exciting yet.  After a one day rain delay, basic baseball fundamentals seemed to go east with the storm.  Once the teams swept 5 errors up on the scoreboard, the game became do or die every inning.  David Freese, who committed one of the most egregious of those errors when he failed to keep a routine pop up in his glove, nailed a two strike, two out, 2 run triple in the 9th to tie it up.  The Rangers came back with two more runs from a Hamilton homer in the tenth- groin injured he can still work a ball.  Lance Berkman tied it up again with a two strike, two out single and we go into the 11th.  The Rangers are shut out in the top and Freese, the hometown hero, absolutely crushes one to straight center, sending this Series to game 7 tonight.  Check it out- 8pm EST.  Even if you’re not into baseball, you can’t help but get a kick out of the dancing and gyrating Washington does in the Rangers dugout.

And they say lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place… then how do you explain two 4th quarter interceptions that had SD fans crying a Rivers.  Maybe Rex Ryan was right.  Ok, I’ll rinse my mouth out with soap for that comment but Norv has to take some blame for the Chargers 2nd half of the game after coasting into half time with a 21-10 lead.  Not to mention almost every play seemed to carry a neutral zone infraction against SD defense- no more tweaker like movements at the line!  Ugh, just pathetic.  It was their game to lose and they proved it.  You can play like that against the Colts, Dolphins, or Rams but not a team that can win a game!

Rivers vs. Oakland                    8-0

SD vs. Oakland                         13 wins in last 13 games

Spread                                       Chargers, 6.5 points

Today:

The Bolts special teams looked more like “special” as in short bus with helmuts…  Two blocked punts and a costly fumble that led to the Raiders winning 64 yard TD.  Final score: 35-27.  I want to puke.  The Chargers dominated on paper but lost the game themselves.  And losing to the only NFL team whose colors are claimed by gang bangers everywhere!  The Padres disappointed me last week and now this- not a good month for SD sports fans!
